Due to their aesthetic and structural advantages, tubular space truss structures are enjoying increasing popularity in modern bridge construction. The use of cast steel nodes for the joints between the circular hollow section members is also becoming incre ...
We present the photosensitive flexopolymer PRISM as a new promising material for the realization of thick optical components. The PRISM flexopolymer can be directly polymerized using conventional UV exposure and is simply developed in a water-based solutio ...
Hot tearing is one of the most severe defects observed in castings, e.g. in billets or sheet ingots of aluminum alloys produced by DC casting. It is due to both tensile strains and a lack of interdendritic feeding in the mushy zone. In order to predict thi ...
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 insufficient liquid feeding to compensate for the volumetric change. The RDG ...

The constant improvement of polymer composite materials has allowed their integration in many industrial fields where their mechanical and chemical properties are apparently attractive. Mixed metal-composite insulators are now increasingly used for high vo ...
Tensile tests have been performed on replicated aluminum alloy foams of relative density between 4.5% and 8%. During the test the electrical resistance was measured with a four-point set-up and the displacements along the gage section were measured using a ...
The sawing parameters have an impact on the depth of the defects in the wafers, and hence on their mechanical strength. However, as sawing is a highly complex system, the wafering industry is still relying on a “trial and error” approach to improve the saw ...
Hot cracking is a spontaneous failure of an alloy during solidification. It is a severe problem for casting industry as it reduces the productivity of cast houses and limits the range of alloys compositions that can be industrially produced. Hot tears occu ...
The tensile mechanical response of three semi-solid as-cast aluminum alloys - AA3104, AA6111, and CA31218 (an alloy similar in composition to AA3003) - was measured between a fraction solid f(s) similar to 0.85 and f(s) similar to 1 in order to establish t ...
A fairly simple experimental setup has been designed for testing the resistance of the mushy zone of alloys during solidification under tensile conditions. It has been used to study the effect of coalescence among the solid grains at a late stage of solidi ...
