Crystallographic effects on transgranular chloride-induced stress corrosion crack propagation of arc welded austenitic stainless steel [PDF]
The effect of crystallography on transgranular chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (TGCISCC) of arc welded 304L austenitic stainless steel is studied on >300 grains along crack paths. Schmid and Taylor factor mismatches across grain boundaries (GBs) reveal that cracks propagate either from a hard to soft grain, which can be explained merely by ...

The univalent Bloch-Landau constant, harmonic symmetry and conformal glueing [PDF]
By modifying a domain first suggested by Ruth Goodman in 1935 and by exploiting the explicit solution by Fedorov of the Poly\'a-Chebotarev problem in the case of four symmetrically placed points, an improved upper bound for the univalent Bloch-Landau constant is obtained.

Indium‐Doping Advances High‐Performance Flexible Ag2Se Thin Films
A “precursor doping strategy” is employed to realize In‐doping at Ag sites in Ag2Se thin films, boosting electrical conductivity while maintaining a high Seebeck coefficient, therefore achieving a high‐power factor of ≈26.3 µW cm−1 K−2 and ZT of ≈1.

Path Planning with Automatic Seam Extraction over Point Cloud Models for Robotic Arc Welding [PDF]
This paper presents a point cloud based robotic system for arc welding. Using hand gesture controls, the system scans partial point cloud views of workpiece and reconstructs them into a complete 3D model by a linear iterative closest point algorithm. Then, a bilateral filter is extended to denoise the workpiece model and preserve important geometrical ...

Schramm Loewner Evolution and Liouville Quantum Gravity [PDF]
We conformally weld (via "quantum zipping") two boundary arcs of a Liouville quantum gravity random surface to generate a random curve called the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE). We develop a theory of quantum fractal measures (consistent with the Knizhnik-Polyakov-Zamolochikov relation) and analyze their evolution under welding via SLE martingales. As
