The rheological behavior of a solidifying alloy is modeled by considering the deforming material as a viscoplastic porous medium saturated with liquid. Since the solid grains in the mush do not form a fully cohesive skeleton, an internal variable that repr ...
We present the photosensitive flexopolymer PRISM as a new promising material for the realization of thick optical components. The PRISM flexopolymer can be directly polymerized using conventional UV exposure and is simply developed in a water-based solutio ...
The electromagnetic effects of a High Altitude EMP has been a threat for communications and installations which has been largely studied and documented between 1960 and 1990. During the last decade of the 20(th) century, a new kind of electromagnetic field ...

We model the resonant excitation transfer between semiconductor quantum dots, accounting for the radiative nature of the electromagnetic field. The model based on Maxwell equations and on a non-local, and for linear susceptibility accounts both for the ins ...
Ultra high performance concretes (UHPFRC) are characterized by a dense matrix and a high fibre content. These materials exhibit exceptional mechanical and durability properties making them an ideal material for rehabilitating existing structures. The prima ...
Semi-continuous direct-chill (DC) casting of aluminium ingots suffers from a very frequent defect which can lead to a strong decrease in productivity: hot tearing. This phenomenon takes place in the mushy state (i.e., at solid fractions, gs, lower than uni ...
In order to eliminate internal and surface defects, which appear in the ingots during continuous casting of metallic alloys, homogeneous and fine structures are often required. Therefore, when the adjunction of inoculant substances is not possible, the ele ...
The aims of the preliminary study reported in this document were twofold. Firstly, within the context of the application of UHPFRC for the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures, to identify the phenomena that require further study with respect t ...
The tolerances of semi-continuously cast products of aluminium alloys are very critical if the scalping of the ingot faces is to be minimised before rolling. In the steady state regime of casting, the dimensions of the section of the solidified ingot are l ...
In many casting processes, some stages, such as the starting phase in the direct chill casting of aluminium alloys, are particularly critical because of the propensity of some alloys to develop either hot tears which initiate at non zero liquid fraction, o ...
