Micromechanically inspired investigation of cemented granular materials: part I-from X-ray micro tomography to measurable model variables

Edward Carlo Giorgio Andò

Cemented granular materials are abundant in nature and are often artificially produced. Their macroscopic behaviour is driven by small-scale material processes, which are generally classified as: grain breakage, cement damage and fragment rearrangement. Th ...

A probabilistic deformation-based seismic hazard model for Iran

Alireza Khodaverdian

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, as the most prevalent approach to evaluate earthquake hazard, is commonly based on earthquake catalogs. Although previous studies show that the recurrence time of large-magnitude (M-w > 7.0) events in Iran is more tha ...

A numerical approach to characterize the viscoelastic behaviour of fibre beds and to evaluate the influence of strain deviations on viscoelastic parameter extraction

Véronique Michaud, Vincent Werlen

The development of a robust material model able to accurately describe fibre bed compaction at different strain and strain rates is highly desirable because it is essential for the simulation of many composite manufacturing processes. In this study, we inv ...

New Strategies for the Functionalization of Alkenes Exploiting Tethering Chemistry and Ring Strain

Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel

Amino alcohols, cyclopropanes and nitriles are privileged structural motifs found in the scaffold of natural products and bioactive compounds. In addition, they are versatile building blocks in organic chemistry. The development of new and increasingly eff ...

Constitutive Modeling of Structural Steels: Nonlinear Isotropic/Kinematic Hardening Material Model and Its Calibration

Dimitrios Lignos, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa

Numerical models of structural components that deteriorate primarily due to geometric instabilities under multiaxis cyclic loading are sensitive to both the assumed geometric imperfections and the nonlinear material model assumptions. Therefore, the accura ...

Discussion on "Experimental Deformation of Opalinus Clay at Elevated Temperature and Pressure Conditions: Mechanical Properties and the Influence of Rock Fabric" of Schuster, V., Rybacki, E., Bonnelye, A., Herrmann, J., Schleicher, AM, Dresen, G

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci

The testing procedure and results on saturated samples of Opalinus Clay in the work of Schuster et al. (Rock Mech Rock Eng https://doi.org/10.1007/ s00603-021-02474-3, 2021) were conducted and presented using strain rates two to four orders of magnitudes h ...

Novel insights into the design of stretchable electrical systems

Fabien Sorin, Louis Marie Philippe Martin-Monier, Pierre-Luc Eloi Piveteau

Soft electronics have recently gathered considerable interest because of their biomechanical compatibility. An important feature of deformable conductors is their electrical response to strain. While development of stretchable materials with high gauge fac ...

Fatigue of reinforced UHPFRC members and monitoring of fatigue action effects on bridges

Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki

The objective of this thesis is to develop knowledge and methods to prevent fatigue failure of bridges. The Fatigue Limit State is investigated from both the demand (S) and resistance (R) side. The S-part focuses on reduction of uncertainties through monit ...

Local excitations in amorphous solids

Wencheng Ji

Amorphous solids are structurally disordered. They are very common and include glasses, colloids, and granular materials, but are far less understood than crystalline solids. Key aspects of these materials are controlled by the presence of excitations in w ...
