The effects of neutron irradiation on the mechanical properties of welded joints made of austenitic stainless steels have been investigated. The materials are welded AISI 304 and AISI 347, so-called test weld materials, irradiated with neutrons at 573 K to ...
Voids are often present in composite materials and have, as may be expected, negative effects on the mechanical properties. As a consequence, it is regarded to be important to optimise manufacturing techniques of composite materials towards minimum void co ...
A method of analyzing a sample with a probe based measurement instrument using stiffness tomography. Stiffness or elastic modulus data obtained through contact measurement with the sample as a function of depth is used in the detection of features, particu ...
Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are being investigated as possible structural material for components of future nuclear power plants. The dispersoids in the matrix (yttria particles) serve as pinning points for moving dislocations, and thereby i ...
This thesis is dedicated to study the early age behavior and time dependant as well as the thermo-mechanical response under restraint of a hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC). The knowledge of the UHPFRC behavior is indispen ...
Fibre-reinforced composites are being increasingly used as alternatives for conventional materials primarily because of their high strength, specific stiffness, light weight and adjustable properties. However, before using this type of material with confid ...
Arteries display a nonlinear anisotropic behavior dictated by the elastic properties and structural arrangement of its main constituents, elastin, collagen, and vascular smooth muscle. Elastin provides for structural integrity and for the compliance of the ...
High dry friction requires intimate contact between two surfaces and is generally obtained using soft materials with an elastic modulus less than 10 MPa. We demonstrate that high-friction properties similar to rubberlike materials can also be obtained usin ...
This paper presents an innovative wing profile featuring an internal truss-like structure of chiral topology. The chiral design is selected because of its unique deformation characteristics, which produce a theoretical, in-plane Poisson's ratio of -1. Such ...
The fast photopolymerization of different multifunctionalacrylates was analyzed by means of photorheology.The materials studied included a penta/hexaacrylatemonomer and two different acrylated hyperbranchedpolymers. The sensitivity of the commercial rheome ...
