Incomplete Contracts and Industrial Organization [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We develop an equilibrium model of industrial structure in which the organization of firms is endogenous. Differentiated consumer products can be produced either by vertically integrated firms or by pairs of specialized companies. Production of each variety of consumer good requires a unique, specialized component.

First‐Principles Modeling of Solid Solution Softening and Hardening Effects in Al–Mg–Zr–Si Aluminum Alloys

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The role of various alloying elements in face‐centered cubic aluminum on the barrier of a Shockley partial dislocation during its motion is presented. The study aims to understand how alloying atoms such as Mg, Si, and Zr affect the energy landscape for dislocation motion, thus influencing the solid solution hardening and softening in aluminum, which ...

Development of Aluminum Scandium Alloys for Hydrogen Storage Valves

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Different aluminum alloy series and various aluminum‐scandium alloys with differing Sc and Zr levels are evaluated for use in hydrogen storage valve production. The alloys undergo hardness testing, optical microscopy, and tensile strength analysis, with hardening behavior studied under varying conditions.

Essays in Industrial Organization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This dissertation comprises four essays on the topic of industrial organization and environmental economics. The first essay investigates the profitability of horizontal mergers of firms with price adjustments. We take a differential game approach and both the open-loop as well as the closed-loop equlibria are considered. In the second essay, using the

Thermal Conductivity of Silicone Rubber Composites: Effects of Ceramic Fillers, Pressure, and Temperature

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the influence of ceramic fillers—aluminum oxide, boron nitride, and a combination of aluminum oxide and zinc oxide—with different particle sizes, on the thermal conductivity of solid silicone rubber. Additionally, the impact of potential synergistic interactions from the simultaneous addition of selected fillers is explored to ...
