Phase Transformation-Induced Interfacial Debonding of Silica Inclusions in Iron

Andreas Mortensen, David Hernandez Escobar, Julie Nathalie S Gheysen, Alejandra Inés Slagter

We document that in unstressed, undeformed, samples of pure iron containing silica inclusions precipitated by melt deoxidation, the iron matrix and a small fraction of the silica inclusions are locally separated at room temperature by a void. Thermal cycli ...

Natural aging and vacancy trapping in Al-6xxx

William Curtin, Michele Ceriotti

Undesirable natural aging (NA) in Al-6xxx delays subsequent artificial aging (AA) but the size, composition, and evolution of clustering are challenging to measure. Here, atomistic details of early-stage clustering in Al-1% Mg-0.6%Si during NA are studied ...

Strong silicon oxide inclusions in iron

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Alejandra Inés Slagter, Joris Pierre Everaerts

Oxide inclusions are ubiquitous in steel and are known to affect, generally in a negative sense, the mechanical performance of steel products. Micromechanical properties of those phases are therefore important, yet they have remained largely unexplored. We ...

Yielding of a quartz sand from saturated to dry state

Alessio Ferrari

The paper presents the results of an experimental work where we analyse the behaviour of an unsaturated quartz sand in a wide range of degree of saturation (from saturated to dry state). The possibility of anticipating the hydro-mechanical behaviour of the ...

Prediction and experimental evaluation of soil-water retention behavior of skeletal calcareous soils

Lyesse Laloui, Saeed Kouzegaran

Skeletal calcareous soils refer to soils consisting of skeletal remains of marine organisms. Although calcareous deposits are prevalent along coastal plains throughout the world, there is no study which investigates their behavior in unsaturated conditions ...

The modern analogue of a Cretaceous coral with a calcitic skeleton

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

It was argued that, in contrast to all known modern scleractinian corals that form aragonite skeletons, the original mineralogy of the Cretaceous "Coelosmilia" (ca. 70-65 Ma) was calcite during a period when the Mg2+/Ca2+ ratio of the seawater was presumab ...

Supercritical CO2 injection and residence time in fluid-saturated rocks: Evidence for CO2 and mineral dissolution and effects on rock integrity

Lucas Xan Pimienta, Ke Liu

CO2 injection and storage in geological reservoirs is an attractive prospect for mitigating the anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases and global warming. The technology could lead to mineral precipitation and therefore stable storage over geological ...

Effect of cement substitution by limestone on the hydration and microstructural development of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC)

Karen Scrivener, Wei Sun, Wei Huang

The effect of limestone on the hydration and microstructural development of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) with different levels of replacement (34%, 54% and 74% by volume) was investigated. Up to 54% replacement of cement by limestone the mixes sh ...

Superparamagnetic nanohybrids with cross-linked polymers providing higher in vitro stability

Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi

A simple, rapid, reproducible, and scalable method for generating highly stable cross-linked superparamagnetic nanohybrids was developed. Pre-coating of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle surfaces with a biocompatible polymer, hydroxy polyvinyl alco ...

Ductile flow in sub-volcanic carbonate basement as the main control for edifice stability: New experimental insights

Marie Estelle Solange Violay

Limestone in volcanic basements has been identified as a hazard in terms of edifice stability due to the propensity of calcite to decompose into lime and CO2 at high temperatures (>600 °C), causing a decrease in mechanical strength. To date, such hypoth ...
