AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Copper matrix composites reinforced with low thermal expansion ceramic particles, i.e. SiO2, AIN and diamond, in the range of ceramic volume fractions between 0.55 and 0.85 have been prepared by gas pressure infiltration and are characterized by their coef ...
Several magnesium matrix composites were investigated by means of mechanical spectroscopy. A modulus anomaly has been observed in the composites reinforced with fibers while the phenomenon does not occur with particles. This effect is attributed to bonding ...
Carbon matrix carbon nanotube (CNT) composites have a broad range of applications because of the exceptional mechanical properties of both matrix and fibers. Since interfacial sliding plays a key role in determining the strength and toughness of ceramic co ...
In this work we investigate force-induced desorption of linear polymers in good solvents in non-homogeneous environment, by applying the model of self-avoiding walk on two- and three-dimensional fractal lattices, obtained as generalization of the Sierpinsk ...
A systematic study of the solidification mechanisms of binary Sn-Cu and ternary Sn-Cu-Ni alloys has been carried out. It is found that Sn-Cu is a weakly-irregular eutectic system with Cu6Sn5 as the leading phase. Interestingly, two different eutectic morph ...
In this thesis we address the description of electrical transport properties of disordered conductor-insulator composites, mostly by numerical Monte Carlo simulations and analytical study of realistic tunnelling-percolation models. Such composites are basi ...
Al/SiC composites with volume fractions of SiC between 0.55 and 0.71 were made from identical tapped and vibrated powder preforms by squeeze casting (SC) and by two different setups for gas pressure infiltration (GPI), one that allows short (1-2 min) liqui ...
The velocity of a liquid slug falling in a capillary tube is lower than predicted for Poiseuille flow due to presence of menisci, whose shapes are determined by the complex interplay of capillary, viscous, and gravitational forces. Due to the presence of m ...
Microcellular Al-4.5 wt pct Cu of 400- or 75-mu m average pore diameter is solidified at cooling rates ranging from -30 K/min to -0.45 K/min (-30 A degrees C/min to -0.45 A degrees C/min). In the 400-mu m pore size samples, the dendritic character is lost, ...
A sessile droplet can deform the surface of a soft solid not only with its weight. The surface tension pulls up a ridge at the perimeter of the drop, and the capillary pressure embosses a quasi-spherical dimple underneath the drop. This holds for the case ...
