Carrier relaxation mechanisms in self-assembled (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots: Efficient P -> S Auger relaxation of electrons

open access: yes, 2006
We calculate the P-shell--to-S-shell decay lifetime \tau(P->S) of electrons in lens-shaped self-assembled (In,Ga)As/GaAs dots due to Auger electron-hole scattering within an atomistic pseudopotential-based approach. We find that this relaxation mechanism

Importance of the model selection for processing dynamic three-point bending tests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
International audienceThe Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar apparatus remains the standard test to investigate high strain rate materials properties. To determine the tensile strength of quasi-brittle materials three-point bending tests are frequently ...

Signal Correction for the Split-Hopkinson Bar Testing of Soft Materials

open access: yesDynamics
The Split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test is a commonly accepted experiment to investigate the material behavior under high strain rates. Due to the low impedance of soft materials, here, the test has to be performed with plastic bars instead of metal

High Strain Rate Response of Adhesively Bonded Fiber-Reinforced Composite Joints A Computational Study to Guide Experimental Design [PDF]

open access: yes
Adhesively bonded carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy composite laminates are widely used in aerospace applications. During a high energy impact event, these laminates are often subjected to high strain rate loading.

Solitonic State in Microscopic Dynamic Failures

open access: yes, 2018
Onset of permanent deformation in crystalline materials under a sharp indenter tip is accompanied by nucleation and propagation of defects. By measuring the spatio-temporal strain field nearthe indenter tip during indentation tests, we demonstrate that ...

An analytical and experimental study of the behavior of semi-infinite metal targets under hypervelocity impact [PDF]

open access: yes
The material strength and strain rate effects associated with the hypervelocity impact problem were considered. A yield criterion involving the second and third invariants of the stress deviator and a strain rate sensitive constitutive equation were ...

Pedestrian Amenity: On Street Survey Design [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
Any new road, road improvement or traffic management scheme could affect pedestrian journeys in its locality or elsewhere. Some journeys may be affected directly, with severance caused where the new road or road improvement cuts across a pedestrian ...
