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 ...
In the present paper, nonlinear thermoelasticity, vibration, and stress wave propagation analyses of thick-walled cylinders made of functionally graded materials with temperature-dependent properties are performed. In contrast to researches accomplished so ...
The objective of this review is to examine how the concept of plasticity is used in geophysical fluid dynamics. Rapid mass movements such as snow avalanches or debris flows involve slurries of solid particles (ice, boulder, clay, etc.) within an interstiti ...
From airplanes to sailboats to bridges, composite materials have become a significant part of our everyday structures. With increasing demand, these materials are pushed to their limits to improve structural efficiency. As a consequence, research and devel ...
The physical mechanisms underlying the dynamic fragmentation of heterogeneous brittle materials are explored through numerical simulations. The use of computational facilities, rather than experimental or fundamental sciences, ensures the accurate tracking ...
In selecting and designing materials for certain engineering applications, the resistance to material damage or removal of material from contacting surfaces in relative motion is an important factor. To determine these properties, laboratory tests are rout ...
Two dimensional electromagnetic models (i.e. assuming an infinite length) for the vacuum chamber elements in a synchrotron are often quite useful to give a first estimate of the total beam-coupling impedance. In these models, classical approximations can f ...
The purpose of this thesis is to characterize internal strains in polymeric materials due to consolidation. In view of this, optical Fiber Bragg Grating sensors are an excellent non-destructive tool for internal strain characterization and damage detection ...
Nanostencil lithography is considered a promising emerging nanopatterning method due to its simple process flow, low cost, little restriction on materials, and high compatibility with organic or biological surfaces. The principle of shadow mask deposition ...
We present the first experimental investigation of modulational instability in a layered Kerr medium. The particularly interesting and appealing feature of our configuration, consisting of alternating glass-air layers, is the piecewise-constant nature of t ...
