We uncover the constitutive relation of graphene and probe the physics of its optical phonons by studying its Raman spectrum as a function of uniaxial strain. We find that the doubly degenerate E(2g) optical mode splits in two components: one polarized alo ...
The behaviour of brittle matrix fibre reinforced-composites is dependent of the properties of its constituents (fibre, matrix and fibre-matrix interface) and is affected by the mechanical and environmental loads. The fracture of a unidirectional composite ...
Experimental and numerical investigations are carried out on metal/fibregiass-reinforced-plastic joints integrated in electrical insulators subject to bending. Numerical stress and strain distributions through the bond are calculated with a solid 3D finite ...
This study contributes to our understanding of the damage evolution and fracture behaviour of two-phase materials that combine brittle particles with a ductile matrix. We focus on model composites roughly half-ceramic/half-metal that are produced in-house ...
Single crystal deformation unveiling the characteristics of crystal glide and the role of defect propagation herein has been a matter of intense research more than 60 years ago. A manifold of different mechanical testing methods and crystal qualities were ...
The creep of a dislocation on its glide plane is essentially controlled by three different stress fields: the external applied stress, the internal stress field due to a multi-scale hierarchy of different obstacles (the structural defects acting on the dis ...
In order to deeply understand the high temperature deformation behaviors of Cu-0.23%Al2O3 (volume fraction) alloy, the changes of flow stress and microstructure for this alloy after deformation at high temperatures were investigated by using the Gleeble-15 ...
In metal matrix composites (MMCs) thermal stress relaxation can be achieved either by interface debonding, crack propagation or by dislocation motion. The present paper shows that in the case of magnesium matrix, interface thermal stresses are relaxed by d ...
In this paper, an exact solution is derived for the characterization of thermal stresses in a single-fibre composite of finite length. All the required boundary and interfacial conditions of the thermo-elastic problem are thus satisfied exactly. The propos ...
A new computational tool for the fatigue life prediction of composite materials, designated CCfatigue, is presented in this paper. This new software has been developed based on a well-established phenomenological fatigue life prediction methodology. It is ...
