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 ...

Pde-Constrained Optimization For Nuclear Mechanics

We propose an image based PDE-constrained optimisation framework to compute the dynamical quantities of a cell nucleus undergoing deformation. It allows retrieving the displacement, strain and stress at each pixel of the nuclear domain, as well as the trac ...

Effect of water on sandstone's fracture toughness and frictional parameters: Brittle strength constraints

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Corentin Jean-Marie Rémi Noël

Water presence causes a dramatic reduction of sandstone strength. Under compressive stress conditions, the strength of a rock sample is controlled by frictional parameters and the fracture toughness of the material. Here, we report fracture toughness, fric ...

ENHANCED GEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS (EGS) - NUMERICAL PREDICTION OF THE MODE AND LOCATION OF FRACTURE INITIATION

Mohamad Zaarour

Geo-energy is a comprehensive term used to describe any form of energy that comes from the Earth. This includes hydrocarbons such as gas, oil, and coal, but also geothermal energy (shallow and deep). The focus of this thesis is on Enhanced Geothermal Syste ...

Investigations and numerical modeling of mechanical properties of tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97 at various loading rates, temperatures and after spallation irradiation

Serafin Knitel

The reduced activation tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97 is a reference steel for a structural applica-tions in fusion reactors. The first-wall and blanket materials will be subjected to high thermal and neutron fluxes and will experience very complex, ...

On the Prediction of Hot Tearing in Al-to-Steel Welding by Friction Melt Bonding

Jean-Marie Drezet

Aluminum alloy AA6061 was welded to dual-phase steel 980 (DP980) by the friction melt bonding (FMB) process. Hot tears have been suppressed by controlling the thermomechanical cycle. In particular, the welding speed and the thermal conductivity of the back ...

Atomistic mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement

Ali Tehranchi

The detrimental effects of the H on the mechanical properties of the metals are known for more than a century. One of the most important degradation mechanisms is H embrittlement (HE). In this thesis, we examined a few famous proposed mechanisms in the fie ...

Influence of geometrical imperfections and flaws at welds of steel liners on fatigue behavior of pressure tunnels and shafts in anisotropic rock

Alexandre Jean Pachoud

The recent development of high-strength (HSS) weldable steels has enlarged the range of design alternatives for the optimization of high-head steel-lined pressure tunnels and shafts (SLPT&S) in the hydropower industry. With the liberalization of the Europe ...

Shear loaded friction-welded crosswise arranged timber boards

Yves Weinand, Till Vallée, Benjamin Hahn

Friction welding of wood is a bonding technology that can be used for joining timber elements, and in which the adhesive is formed from thermally modified cell wall material within the substrate during the welding process. In this paper, this principle is ...

Proposed modeling approach of welding procedures for heavy steel plates

Dimitrios Lignos

A numerical modeling approach is proposed to assess the effectiveness of automatic submerged arc welding procedures for steel plates with thickness larger than 50 mm. The scope of study includes partial joint penetration butt welds, their numerical analysi ...
