Semi-continuous direct-chill (DC) casting of aluminium ingots suffers from a very frequent defect which can lead to a strong decrease in productivity: hot tearing. This phenomenon takes place in the mushy state (i.e., at solid fractions, gs, lower than uni ...
The distribution of (elastic) lattice strains following plastic deformation of an aluminium alloy is examined using finite element simulations of aggregates with individually resolved crystals. The aggregates consist of face centred cubic crystals with ini ...
We examine, in this work, the integration and high-strain response of piezoresistive thick-film resistors on titanium and titanium alloy, as compared with ferritic stainless steel and the standard alumina substrates. In general, titanium and its alloys are ...
A computational method (CADD) is presented whereby a continuum region containing dislocation defects is coupled to a fully atomistic region. The model is related to previous hybrid models in which continuum finite elements are coupled to a fully atomistic ...
The motivation of this work derives from the need of the cutting tool industry to improve its products in order to support harder and harder working conditions, namely increasing cutting speeds and working on stronger modern materials. The lifetime of the ...
Hot tearing, a severe defect occurring during solidification, is the conjunction of tensile stresses which are transmitted to the mushy zone by the coherent solid underneath and of an insufficient liquid feeding to compensate for the volumetric change. In ...
The aim of this thesis was to synthesise and control a nanostructured composite of copper/cobalt. Both the copper and cobalt oxalate exhibit a nanostructure. Attempts to produce nanocomposite particles in the size range of 10-70 nm were made via an oxalate ...
The present work investigates the mechanical integrity of multilayer films developed for flexible displays. The layers comprise tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) conductive coatings and alumina barrier coatings sputtered onto high temperature aromatic polyester ...
The mechanical behavior of an aluminum alloy during uniaxial cyclic loading is examined using finite element simulations of aggregates with individually resolved crystals. The aggregates consist of face centered cubic (FCC) crystals with initial orientatio ...
The characterization of In-grain orientation gradients by electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) technique was studied. The study, based on finite element (FE) technique, involved the simulation of plane strain compression of the crystal grains. In reg ...
