Psychosomatic response to acute emotional stress in healthy students

Adriana Arza Valdes

The multidimensionality of the stress response has shown the complexity of this phenomenon and therefore the impossibility of finding a unique biomarker among the physiological variables related to stress. An experimental study was designed and performed t ...

Gravitational causality and the self-stress of photons

Brando Bellazzini

We study causality in gravitational systems beyond the classical limit. Using on-shell methods, we consider the 1-loop corrections from charged particles to the photon energy-momentum tensor - the self-stress - that controls the quantum interaction between ...

Effects of resonator geometry and substrate stiffness on the tunability of a deformable microwave metasurface

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

Tunable metasurfaces can shift their resonant frequency through different approaches, one of which is applying mechanical deformations. Here, we show the effects of two key factors on the tunability of deformable metasurfaces; the resonator geometry and su ...

Complements to Mugge and Friedel's Theory of Twinning

Cyril Cayron

The crystallography of twinning is based on the concepts of simple shear and obliquity introduced by Mugge, Mallard and Friedel at the turn of the last century, with tensor mathematics later developed by Bilby, Bevis and Crocker in the 1960s. We propose a ...

A crystallographic extension to the Olson-Cohen model for predicting strain path dependence of martensitic transformation

Helena Van Swygenhoven

A modification to the empirical Olson-Cohen strain-induced austenite to martensite transformation kinetic model is proposed. The proposed kinetic model accounts for the stress state at the grain level and the crystallography of the transformation mechanism ...

Thermal Activation, Intermittency and Size Effects in the Plastic Deformation of Cast Aluminium Microwires

Suzanne Godelieve Alphonsine Verheyden

The microcasting process is a scaled-down investment casting process in which molten metal is pressure-infiltrated and directionally solidified in water-soluble moulds. It was previously developed to produce metallic microwires with a diameter (D) between ...

In situ X-ray Diffraction during Casting: Study of Hot Tearing in Al-Zn alloys

Jean-Marie Drezet, Güven Kurtuldu, Bastien Gilbert Pierre Mireux

During solidification of metallic alloys, coalescence corresponds to the formation of solid bridges between grains when both solid and liquid phases are percolated. As such, it represents a key transition with respect to the mechanical behaviour of solidif ...
