The thermally activated deformation behaviour of single-crystalline microcast aluminium wires

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Suzanne Godelieve Alphonsine Verheyden

A microcasting process is used to produce high aspect ratio ( > 30) monocrystalline pure aluminium wires with a diameter between 14 and 115 mu m. The role of thermal activation in the plastic deformation of these microwires is measured by means of (single) ...

Embryonic tissues as active foams

Sangwoo Kim

The physical state of embryonic tissues emerges from non-equilibrium, collective interactions among constituent cells. Cellular jamming, rigidity transitions and characteristics of glassy dynamics have all been observed in multicellular systems, but it is ...

Stress relaxation in the presence of sudden strain bursts: Methodology and stress relaxation data of microcast aluminium microwires

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon

This data article presents a methodology and the corresponding code developed to perform and process stress relaxation tests where samples display superimposed (i) classical, continuous logarithmic relaxation together with (ii) sudden displacements manifes ...

Non-contact femtosecond laser-based methods for investigating glass mechanics at small scales

Christos Edouardos Athanasiou

With the progress made in miniaturizing systems over the last decades, understanding materialsâ behavior at small scales has become a necessity. In this context, glass behavior has remained largely unknown, partly for technological reasons and partly due ...

The investigation of stress in freestanding GaN crystals grown from Si substrates by HVPE

Dmitry Mikulik

We investigate the stress evolution of 400 mu m-thick freestanding GaN crystals grown from Si substrates by hydride vapour phase epitaxy (HVPE) and the in situ removal of Si substrates. The stress generated in growing GaN can be tuned by varying the thickn ...

ACMEG-TVP: A thermoviscoplastic constitutive model for geomaterials

Yafei Qiao

In this paper, a thermoviscoplastic constitutive model for geomaterials is presented. The model is formulated based on two aspects: (i) the nonstationary flow surface theory, which is used to describe the viscous behaviour of geomaterials, and (ii) the the ...

Nonstationary flow surface theory for modeling the viscoplastic behaviors of soils

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Yafei Qiao

This paper presents a three-dimensional elastic viscoplastic model that can describe the time-dependent behaviors of soft clays. The constitutive model is formulated based on the nonstationary flow surface theory and incorporates new developments, includin ...

Creep and stress relaxation of a FeMnSi-based shape memory alloy at low temperatures

Cyril Cayron, Christian Leinenbach

The creep and stress relaxation behavior of a Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni-1(V,C) (wt%) shape memory alloy at low homologous temperatures (-45 degrees C < T < 50 degrees C) was systematically studied in stress and strain controlled tensile tests. At constant stres ...

Influence of visco-elasticity on the stress development induced by alkali-silica reaction

Karen Scrivener, Cyrille Dunant, Alain Benjamin Giorla

The alkali-silica reaction causes long-term degradation in the microstructure of affected concrete as well as macroscopic expansion. In this paper, a micro-mechanical model based upon an explicit representation of the microstructure has been used to simula ...

Model and design of dielectric elastomer minimum energy structures

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Jun Shintake

Fixing a prestretched dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) on a flexible frame allows transformation of the intrinsic in-plane area expansion of DEAs into complex three-dimensional (3D) structures whose shape is determined by a configuration that minimizes ...
