High Performance Computing Simulations of Dynamic Fragmentation in Brittle Materials

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the mechanisms behind dynamic fragmentation. This phenomenon occurs in a material when a blast or impact loading nucleates multiple cracks, whose propagation and coalescence break the specimen into fragments. Althou ...

Identification of the mechanisms responsible for static strain ageing in heavily drawn pearlitic steel wires

Daniele Mari

The microstructural changes occurring during drawing and ageing in pearlitic steel wires have been studied using the thermoelectric power (TEP) measurements combined with atom probe tomography (APT) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). APT analysis ...
