The thermally activated deformation behaviour of single-crystalline microcast aluminium wires

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Suzanne Godelieve Alphonsine Verheyden

A microcasting process is used to produce high aspect ratio ( > 30) monocrystalline pure aluminium wires with a diameter between 14 and 115 mu m. The role of thermal activation in the plastic deformation of these microwires is measured by means of (single) ...

Mesh d-refinement: a data-based computational framework to account for complex material response

Jean-François Molinari, Sacha Zenon Wattel, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez

Model-free data-driven computational mechanics (DDCM) is a new paradigm for simulations in solid mechanics. The modeling step associated to the definition of a material constitutive law is circumvented through the introduction of an abstract phase space in ...

Strengthening mechanisms in dilute and random solid solution high-entropy BCC alloys

Alireza Ghafarollahi

Tuning the mechanical properties of metals, including strength, through adjusting the type and/or concentration of added solute elements, has been recognized as an effective way to design and produce materials with desired or optimized mechanical propertie ...

Evolution of deformation twinning mechanisms in magnesium from low to high strain rates

Johann Michler, Cyril Cayron, Amit Sharma, Roland Logé, Manish Jain, Xavier Maeder, Nicolò Maria Della Ventura

We present a systematic investigation of {10 (1) over bar2} extension twinning mechanism in single crystal magnesium micropillars deformed over seven orders of magnitude of strain rate, from 10(-4) to 500 s(-1), revealing how the accommodation of newly for ...

On the bulk compressibility of close-packed particles and their composites

Andreas Mortensen, Maria Gabriella Tarantino

The hydrostatic compaction of composites comprising a closely-packed particle-bed filled by a dense matrix is measured experimentally using a fluid-pressurization apparatus. A highly compliant polymer or pure aluminium are infiltrated into preforms of pack ...

Controlling superconductivity of CeIrIn5 microstructures by substrate selection

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo, Maja Deborah Bachmann, Maarten Ruud van Delft, Joshua Alan Wolfe Straquadine

Superconductor/metal interfaces are usually fabricated in heterostructures that join these dissimilar materials. A conceptually different approach has recently exploited the strain sensitivity of heavy-fermion superconductors, selectively transforming regi ...

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 ...

Contact.engineering-Create, analyze and publish digital surface twins from topography measurements across many scales

Till Junge, Abhijeet Gujrati

The optimization of surface finish to improve performance, such as adhesion, friction, wear, fatigue life, or interfacial transport, occurs largely through trial and error, despite significant advancements in the relevant science. There are three central c ...

Mechanics of alkali-silica reaction in concrete across scales

Emil Gallyamov

Alkali-silica reaction occurs in concrete between the alkalis contained in the pore solution and silica in the aggregates. Generation of ASR products gives rise to the internal pressures that cause expansion and cracking. Due to its deleterious effect on c ...

Deformation and Fracture of Tough Microstructured Hydrogels

Michael David Kessler

Many natural materials are structured on different length scales. This structuring often leads to an intricate interplay between soft and stiff components, which significantly improves the fracture toughness of these materials. A class of soft material tha ...

Brittle faulting of ductile rock induced by pore fluid pressure build‐up

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Corentin Jean-Marie Rémi Noël, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue

Under upper crustal conditions, deformations are primarily brittle (i.e., localized) and accommodated by frictional mechanisms. At greater depth, deformations are ductile (i.e., distributed) and accommodated by crystal plasticity, diffusion mass transfer o ...
