Evaluation of Varnishes to Slow Down the Aging of Plasticized PVC
Varnish effectiveness in plasticized PVC strongly depends on both formulation and degradation state. A polyurethane varnish effectively limits color change and plasticizer loss in unaged PVC without phosphate plasticizers, whereas no protective effect is observed for phosphate‐containing PVC.

ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...

Exact Computation of the Color Function for Triangular Element Interfaces
We propose a robust algorithm, the Front2VOF algorithm, to compute the color function for triangular element interfaces in Front‐Tracking methods on a Cartesian mesh. ABSTRACT The calculation of the volume enclosed by curved surfaces discretized into triangular elements and a cube is of great importance in different domains, such as computer graphics ...

Image Encoding With Blipped Gradients in an Echo Train
ABSTRACT Purpose An MRI scanner was designed and built to encode k‐space points in the spin echoes occurring between 180∘ pulses in an echo train by using blipped B0 gradient pulses applied just prior to those spin echoes. Methods The proposed MRI scanner is a modification of an original design that used TRansmit Array Spatial Encoding (TRASE), a built‐

ABSTRACT Rigorous application of continuum damage mechanics (CDM) models coupled with crack propagation schemes can predict crack branching or zigzag trajectories near the crack tip, even when the macroscopic crack growth is straight. This arises from oscillations in the local damage field and is consistent with experimental observations of ductile ...
