Study of image characteristics on digital image correlation error assessment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper, errors related to digital image correlation (DIC) technique applied to measurements of displacements are estimated. This work is based on the generation of synthetic images representative of real speckle patterns.

Settlement below embankments: factors controlling the depth of the deformation zone [PDF]

open access: yesCentral European Geology, 2014
The issue of settlement and the calculation of the thickness of the deformation zone are addressed in this paper. A short overview is given concerning the thickness of the deformation zone values used in general practice; the available soil models are also briefly introduced.

Modeling Defects, Shape Evolution, and Programmed Auto-origami in Liquid Crystal Elastomers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Liquid crystal elastomers represent a novel class of programmable shape-transforming materials whose shape change trajectory is encoded in the material's nematic director field.

Thermomechanical testing under operating conditions of A516Gr70 used for CSP storage tanks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Thermal energy storage (TES) in molten salts is the storage dominating technology in solar power applications today. In two-tank molten salt storage systems energy density ranges from 30 to 70 kW h/m3 are achievable.

Silicon and III-V compound nanotubes: structural and electronic properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Unusual physical properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes have started a search for similar tubular structures of other elements. In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of single-wall nanotubes of silicon and group III-V compounds.

The effect of pressure and temperature variations on the FEM prediction of deformation during extrusion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The extrusion process is complex, involving interaction between the process variables and the material’s high temperature properties and is typically conducted at relatively high temperatures because the lower flow stress of the material permits larger ...

Bridge-Pier Caisson foundations subjected to normal and thrust faulting:physical experiments versus numerical analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Surface fault ruptures can inflict serious damage to engineering structures built on or near them. In the earthquakes of Kocaeli, Chi-chi, and Wenchuan a number of bridges were crossed by the emerging normal or thrust faults suffering various degrees of ...

Strain-induced modifications of transport in gated graphene nanoribbons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We investigate the effects of homogeneous and inhomogeneous deformations and edge disorder on the conductance of gated graphene nanoribbons. Under increasing homogeneous strain the conductance of such devices initially decreases before it acquires a ...

Do variations in Arabian plate lithospheric structure control deformation in the Arabian-Eurasian convergence zone? [PDF]

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2008
The Arabian plate has been converging with Eurasia for 20-30 Ma, currently at 2-3 cm/year. Convergence is manifested differently along strike, with collision and tectonic escape in the west (Anatolia) and subduction of Arabia beneath Eurasia in the east (Iran).
