Antiferrodistortive Structural Phase Transition in Compressively-Strained Epitaxial SrTiO3 Film Grown on (La, Sr)(Al, Ta)O-3 Substrate

(001)-epitaxial SrTiO3 films were grown on (La, Sr)(Al, Ta)O-3 substrates for investigating the impact of biaxial strain on the antiferrodistortive (AFD) structural phase transition in SrTiO3. The films were fully constrained by the substrates, which resul ...

Microchannel deformations due to solvent-induced PDMS swelling

François Gallaire

The compatibility of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channels with certain solvents is a well known problem of soft lithography techniques, in particular when it leads to the swelling of the PDMS blocks. However, little is known about the modification of micro ...

Preparation and characterization of dense nanohydroxyapatite/PLLA composites

Jacques Lemaître, Sandrine Gay, Saioa Arostegui Aristimuno

Synthetic bone graft substitutes based on PLLA have been largely studied during the past decade. PLLA/hydroxyapatite composites appear as promising materials for large bone defect healing. In this study dense PLLA/nano-hydroxyapatite composites were prepar ...

Structural behavior of multifunctional GFRP joints for concrete structures

Thomas Keller, Florian Riebel

A multifunctional all-FRP joint has been developed for the transfer of bending moments and shear forces in thermal insulation sections of concrete slab structures used in building construction. Tensile forces from moments are transferred by horizontal GFRP ...

Uniaxial deformation of microcellular metals: model systems and simplified analysis

Andreas Mortensen, Etienne Combaz, Sébastien Philippe Soubielle, Frédéric Diologent, Yves Conde, Randoald Müller, Jean-François Despois

Microcellular aluminium can be produced by a process known as replication; this involves the infiltration of a packed bed of NaCl particles which are subsequently leached after metal solidification. The resulting material features a uniform distribution of ...

Measurement of residual thermal stress in WC-Co by neutron diffraction

Daniele Mari

The temperature dependence of residual stresses in a WC-17.8vol.%Co cemented carbide was measured by neutron diffraction. The comparison of the WC lattice parameter within the WC-Co and within stress-free WC reference provides a measurement of lattice elas ...

Localization through Surface Folding in Solid Foams under Compression

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of the compression of a solid foam coated with a thin elastic film. Past a critical compression threshold, a pattern of localized folds emerges with a characteristic size that is imposed by an instabi ...
