Continuous-fiber ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are of interest as hot-section components in gas turbine engines due to their refractoriness and low density relative to metallic alloys. In service, CMCs will be subjected to spatially inhomogeneous temper ...
This paper discusses on the required level of simplicity for suitable modelling of structural concrete. Traditional equilibrium-based approaches (as strut-and-tie models) are too coarse in some cases, as they account for the cracking state of concrete in a ...
We present results from a numerical investigation of the localization of deformation in thin elastomeric spherical shells loaded by differently shaped indenters. Beyond a critical indentation, the deformation of the shell ceases to be axisymmetric and shar ...
Hydrogen bonding in ionic liquids based on the 1-(2'-hydroxylethyl)-3-methylimidazolium cation (C(2)OHmim) and various anions (A) of differing H-bond acceptor strength, viz. hexafluorophosphate PF6, tetrafluoroborate BF4, bis-(trifluoro ...
This paper focuses on the numerical modelling of SentryGlas-laminated reinforced glass beams. In these beams, which have been experimentally investigated in preceding research, a stainless steel reinforcement section is laminated at the inner recessed edge ...
Large-scale shake table tests were conducted at E-Defense, Japan, to examine the dynamic response of a steel concentrically braced frame. The specimen was a single-bay, single-story frame with a pair of square hollow structural section braces placed in a c ...
For environmental reasons, lead has been banned from microelectronic solder materials since the adoption of the RoHS legislation in 2006. A large number of investigations have lead to the development of new lead-free solder materials like the SnAgCu alloy ...
Design formulations for calculation of bond strength in structural concrete members usually include a number of parameters such as the stress acting in the reinforcement, the concrete cover and the diameter of the reinforcing bars. These parameters are act ...
Heck shortens the distance. Palladium-catalyzed activation of C(sp3)-H bond by a σ-alkyl Pd(II) complex generated in situ from a remote arylhalide function is developed. The novel domino carbopalladation/C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond forming process allowed a rapid a ...
We present a low-temperature indium hermetic bonding technique on wafer level without using flux, active atmosphere or other pretreatment of the indium. Its simplicity and low temperatures allow encapsulation of sensitive MEMS devices. Bonding stronger tha ...
