The interplay between deformation mechanisms in austenitic 304 steel during uniaxial and equibiaxial loading

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Efthymios Polatidis, Wei-Neng Hsu

The preferred deformation mechanisms with respect to the load path are studied in a medium stacking fault energy 304 austenitic stainless steel that exhibits both transformation induced plasticity and twinning induced plasticity. In situ neutron diffractio ...

Rigidity of hemispherical elastic gridshells under point load indentation

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Changyeob Baek

We present results from physical and numerical experiments on the rigidity of hemispherical gridshells under point load indentation. By systematically exploring the relevant parameters of the system, we provide a scaling law for the rigidity of elastic gri ...

Multiscale experimental characterisation and modelling of transverse cracking in thin-ply composites

Sébastien Kohler

In this work, the damage dependency on ply thickness is investigated experimentally for three different thin-ply CFRP quasi-isotropic laminates, with constituents spanning a large range of properties. It is shown that free edge damage mechanisms, observed ...

Ultrafast carrier dynamics in III-nitride nanostructures and LED quantum efficiency

Wei Liu

Since the seminal report about the first Candela-class-brightness InGaN blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by Shuji Nakamura et al. in 1994, III-nitride semiconductors have been one of the most important platforms for optoelectronic devices. The achieve ...

Panoramic View of Fault failure Modes from Laboratory and Numerical Experiments

Carolina Giorgetti

Certain phenomena in nature occur in Goldilocks zones that provide just the right conditions. One such phenomenon in earthquake science seems to be the occurrence of slow slip preceding dynamic slip. For example, the slow slip before the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku ...

Load-strengthening versus load-weakening faulting in gouge-bearing faults: insights from triaxial saw-cut experiments

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Carolina Giorgetti, Iskander Louhichi

Brittle reactivation of pre-existing faults is theoretically constrained by their friction, the stress field orientation, and magnitude. Thus, following the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, the increase in tectonic shear stress leads to the reactivation of ...

Two-dimensional fatigue debonding in GFRP/balsa sandwich panels

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Aida Cameselle Molares

An experimental investigation of the two-dimensional (2D) debonding behavior of GFRP/balsa sandwich panels with embedded circular disbonds at the face sheet/core interface subjected to out-of-plane fatigue loads was conducted. The constant amplitude fatigu ...

Fault reactivation during fluid pressure oscillations: transition from stable to unstable slip

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Carolina Giorgetti, Corentin Jean-Marie Rémi Noël

High‐pressure fluid injection in deep geo‐reservoirs can induce earthquakes. Recent observations suggest that cyclic injections might trigger less seismicity than monotonic injections. Here, we report triaxial laboratory experiments conducted on faulted qu ...

Dislocation Cross-Slip in Face-Centered Cubic Solid Solution Alloys

Wolfram Georg Nöhring

The mechanical strength of metals depends on their resistance against various microscopic deformation processes. In ductile metals, the most important process is shearing of the crystal lattice by dislocations. One of the fundamental aspects of dislocation ...

Coupled Atomistics and Discrete Dislocations in 3d (CADD-3d)

Guillaume Anciaux

Capturing plasticity at realistic dislocation densities with high configurational complexity requires a continuum-level discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) description. However, many features controlling dislocation motion are inherently atomistic, such as ...
