The overall aim of this thesis has been to assess the potential of latex-based technologies for the preparation of polymer/clay nanocomposites. The key feature of latex-based technologies is that they offer the possibility of improved control of the final ...
Results of a theoretical study on the properties of Ir4 clusters in the gas–phase and on oxide surfaces are presented. The work is based on density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and ultrasoft pseudopotentials. ...
Many car-following models predict a stable car-following behavior with a very small fluctuation around an equilibrium value g∗ of the net headway g with zero speed-difference Δv between the following and the lead vehicle. However, it is well-known and addi ...
The mechanical design of hydraulic turbines is conditioned by the dynamic response of the runner that is usually estimated by a computational model. Nevertheless, the runner has complex boundary conditions that are difficult to include in the computational ...

The motivation of this work derives from the need of the cutting tool industry to improve its products in order to support harder and harder working conditions, namely increasing cutting speeds and working on stronger modern materials. The lifetime of the ...
The aim of the thesis is to obtain more understanding about the influence of plastic deformation on the microstructural changes observed in single crystal (SX) Ni-based superalloys using diffraction techniques. This work was organised around two main probl ...
Martensitic Ni-Ti was observed to transform to the austenitic phase due to defects introduced either by ion or electron irradiations at a temperature where the martensitic phase is normally stable. The phenomenon was studied by molecular dynamics simulatio ...
The deformation mechanisms of silicon {001} surfaces during nanoscratching were found to depend strongly on the loading conditions. Nanoscratches with increasing load were performed at 2 μm/s (low velocity) and 100 μm/s (high velocity). The load-penetratio ...
Repeated stress-relaxation experiments are conducted from RT to 1073 K on three different gamma + alpha(2) TiAl alloys (Ti-46Al with 8Ta, 8Nb or 7Nb) One is a conventional duplex alloy, the two other are novel "convoluted" cast titanium aluminides develope ...
An experimental investigation has been carried out to quantify the effects of surrounding fluid on the modal behavior of a reduced scale pump-turbine impeller. The modal properties of the fluid-structure system have been obtained by Experimental Modal Anal ...
