The influence of applied stress on the equilibrium shape of a liquid intergranular inclusion is derived to show that (i) results differ significantly from those for a void, and (ii) this difference explains the experimental data if liquid inclusions behave ...
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 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 ...
Molecular dynamics is used to examine the deformation and failure of Al-Si interfaces and of nanocomposites consisting of Al and Si nanograins loaded in tension. The modified embedded atom method, is used to describe the forces and energies in the system a ...
In this study, the tensile and fracture properties and the microstructure of the reduced-activation tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97 have been investigated. This technical alloy is a 9%Cr steel developed within the European fusion material research pro ...
Large scale tubular truss beams, approximately of 9 m long and 2 m high, were tested under constant amplitude fatigue loading. The beams were made out of circular hollow sections of steel S355, welded to form a uni-planar truss with K-joints, in a shape co ...
In this paper, we investigate the effect of different process parameters on oxidation-induced strain (OIS) into a doubly-clamped silicon nanowire FET to control and finally, enhance carrier mobility. Spacer technology together with sacrificial thermal oxid ...
We report on the use of the bulge test method to characterize the mechanical properties of miniaturized buckling mode dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA). Our actuator consists of a Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane bonded to a silicon chip with throug ...
A design tool able to predict the residual stress state and dimensional stability of large complex shaped composite parts has been developed. It is based on a finite element model, using a three-dimensional anisotropic thermo-viscoelastic formulation. Asym ...
Mechanisms responsible for the embrittlement of leaded "free-machining" copper alloys at intermediate temperatures (i.e. around 400 °C) are examined using a combination of microstructural and mechanical characterization. Tensile tests are conducted on pure ...
