Ferritic steels are the main candidates for the structural components of future fusion reactors. Because of the complexity of their structure, most of the simulation works are focused on the base phase of these materials such as alpha-Fe or Fe-Cr alloy. In ...
Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels are promising materials for high temperature applications. The hardening limits from room temperature to 1000 degrees C of one of such steel, ODS EUROFER97, together with the impact of t ...
Car exhaust manifolds are critical components subjected to cyclic thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) during function. To reduce design costs, robust numerical design tools are required to assess their behaviour and lifetime. Manifolds are constructed by weldi ...
This contribution draws practical implications of a recently published estimation of the tensile ductility in laminated composites made of two ductile materials, typically metals or alloys, which harden as both the strain and the strain-rate increase. To t ...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endosseous implant having a modified surface for fixation of an artificial tooth in dentistry and of a hearing aid to replace or reinforce a bone with damage or disease in orthopedic surgery.SOLUTION: An endosseous impla ...
In the quest of the structural materials for the future fusion reactor, it has been shown that ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels are very promising candidates, with a good radiation resistance in terms of damage accumulation in the microstructure relative ...
The ITER central solenoid (CS) must be capable of driving inductively 30 000 15 MA plasma pulses with a burn duration of 400 s. This implies that during the lifetime of the machine, the CS, comprised of six independently powered coil modules, will have to ...
Ferritic steels are the main candidates for the structural components of future fusion reactors. Because of the complexity of their structure, most of the simulation works are focused on the base phase of these materials such as alpha-Fe or Fe-Cr alloy. In ...
The friction stress resulting from alloying elements in industrial alloys is an important strengthening mechanism. Since the preparation of single crystal from industrial material is difficult, no direct measurement of this quantity has been reported in li ...
Ceramics are known to be chemically stable, and the possibility to electrically dope polymer-derived ceramics makes it a material of interest for implantable electrodes applications. We investigated cytotoxic characteristics of four polymer-derived ceramic ...
