Continuum versus discrete approach in modeling of wear processes

Enrico Milanese, Lucas Henri Galilée Frérot

Wear of materials is a very complex phenomenon due to its tight correlation with all the other phenomena that take place at the interface of two bodies interacting with one another, like friction, contact and lubrication. When two opposing surfaces slide o ...

Variational phase field model for dynamic brittle fracture

Jean-François Molinari, Jérémy Bleyer, Clément Pierre Mathieu Roux-Langlois

Simulating crack nucleation and propagation remains a challenging problematic because of the complexity of crack patterns observed in fracture mechanics experiments. Whereas some numerical methods aim at explicitly tracking the crack front evolution, an in ...

Effect of treatment on the microstructural characteristics of bio-improved sand

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis

Bio-chemical processes have recently become the core of several studies in the geoengineering field, where the emphasis is placed on new and emerging applications. Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation has been introduced as an alternative cementation ...

Reactive friction stir processing of AA 5052-TiO2 nanocomposite: process-microstructure-mechanical characteristics

Friction stir processing (FSP) is a solid state route with a capacity of preparing fine grained nanocomposites from metal sheets. In this work, we employed this process to finely distribute TiO2 nanoparticles throughout an Al-Mg alloy, aiming to enhance me ...

Simulation of postoperative scapula fractures after rTSA

Alice Ghislaine Concordel

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is recommended in case of severe muscle deficiency, along with important joint wear. Although having a correct placement of the prosthesis after the operation and a recovery of the mobility, several cases of scapu ...

Structural response of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams; experimental investigations on the effects of glass type, reinforcement percentage and beam size

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter

This paper investigates the effects of glass type (annealed, heat-strengthened and fully tempered), reinforcement percentage (hollow section and full section) and beam size (1.5 and 3.2 m) on the structural response of SG-laminated reinforced glass beams. ...

Folded in hierarchy

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

Elastic thin films attached to a foundation under compression develop wrinkles, which in turn can generate invaginated folds. Hierarchical patterns of localized folds have now been observed in thin films under biaxial compression, which show intriguing res ...

Effects of Tissue-Level Ductility on Trabecular Bone Strength

Frédéric Edouard Juillard

Osteoporosis is one of the most common skeletal diseases that lead to an accelerated bone loss due to an imbalance in bone turnover. This low bone mass and degraded bone microarchitecture cause a reduction in mechanical properties and an associated increas ...

Biomechanical Aspects of Osteogenesis in Load-Bearing Tissue Engineering Scaffolds

Alireza Roshan Ghias

There is increasing evidence that mechanical stimulation affects the fate of tissue engineering scaffolds. In clinical situations, it is critical to accelerate bone formation inside the scaffold to reduce the recovery time and increase the chance of succes ...

Multi-axial mechanical properties of human trabecular bone

Liliana Rincon Kohli

In the context of osteoporosis, evaluation of bone fracture risk and improved design of epiphyseal bone implants rely on accurate knowledge of the mechanical properties of trabecular bone. A multi-axial loading chamber was designed, built and applied to ex ...
