Analysis of the Bauschinger Effect in Cold Drawn Pearlitic Steels
Metals, 2020 Prestressing steel wires usually undergo cyclic loading in service. Therefore, it is of interest to analyse certain features of their mechanical behaviour under this type of loading, such as the Bauschinger effect (BE) or the hardening rule, that fit the

Impact and indenting damage of CVD-produced ZnS and ZnSe ceramics
Materials Research Express, 2020 Time series of acoustic emission pulses were excited in ductile ZnS and ZnSe ceramics either by a falling weight or by indenting the Vickers pyramid. Energy distributions in emitted acoustical emission pulses were found to be random (Poisson-like) in the

Hydraulic fracture propagation in naturally fractured reservoirs: Complex fracture or fracture networks [PDF]
Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2019 Understanding the behavior of fluid-driven hydraulic fracture in naturally fractured reservoirs is crucial in the development of geothermal energy and unconventional reservoirs. This study presents a fully-coupled numerical model to investigate hydraulic propagation in naturally fractured reservoirs, along with a comprehensive discussion on field ...

Reverse Ballistic Impact Studies of Thin Plate Perforation
Engineering Transactions, 2014 Full-scale ballistic experiments using tungsten rods and rolled homogeneous armour (RHA) steel plates are expensive to perform. For this reason, a study has been performed into the possibility of using less expensive, more easily available metals in ...

Fractures of the distal radius (Colles' fracture) [PDF]
Sao Paulo Medical Journal, 2007 CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Although Colles' fracture is a common clinical situation for the orthopedist, we did not find any information in the literature that would allow safe decision-making on the best treatment for each fracture type. The aim of the present study was to investigate Brazilian orthopedists' opinions regarding the main aspects of ...
