In many applications elastoplastic composites are used in limited amounts, therefore it is important to have estimates of the size of their representative volume element both for modeling and experimental purposes. In this work the tensile response of part ...
A MLS-based lattice spring model is presented for numerical modeling of elasticity of materials. In the model, shear springs between particles are introduced in addition to normal springs. However, the unknowns contain only particle displacements but no pa ...
Effects of non-uniform strains on tensile fracture of fiber-reinforced ceramic–matrix composites have not been satisfactorily explained by existing mechanics-based models. In this paper, we use an exact model of fiber fragmentation under global load sharin ...
Traditional local approaches to continuum damage mechanics are known to lead to mesh dependency due to damage localization. Some corrections for this ill-posed problem exist through localization limiters. The integral non-local regularization is widely use ...
Circumferentially notched cylindrical bars of high volume fraction Al2O3 particle reinforced aluminium are tested in tension to probe the role of tensile stress triaxiality on damage and failure of such materials. The transverse strain is monitored with a ...
Fracture in metals is controlled by material behavior around the crack tip where size-dependent plasticity, now widely demonstrated at the micron scale, should play a key role. Here, a physical origin of the controlling length scales in fracture is identif ...
We present a detailed comparison of the rheology of concentrated hard and soft-sphere suspensions using a variety of techniques including large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS). While the soft spheres are jammed and exhibit permanent contact, the hard-sp ...
High Performance Cement-based composites such as some UHPFRC or SHCC exhibit a tensile strain hardening response associated to the progressive formation of finely distributed microcracks. Strain Hardening (SH) - UHPFRC with suitable fibrous mixes have a de ...
Biological cells modulate their behavior, express genes, proliferate or differentiate in response to mechanical strains ranging from 1% to 20%. There currently exists no technique to apply strain to many targeted individual cells in a larger culture in ord ...
The overall aim of this thesis has been to assess the potential of latex-based technologies for the preparation of polymer/clay nanocomposites. The key feature of latex-based technologies is that they offer the possibility of improved control of the final ...
