Coupled thermo-mechanical damage modelling for structural steel in fire conditions [PDF]
This paper aims at developing a coupled thermo-mechanical damage model for structural 6 steel at elevated temperatures. The need for adequate modelling of steel deterioration behaviour 7 remains a challenging task in structural fire engineering because ...

Cotton plants as ideal models for teaching and research on inducible direct plant defenses
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) stores defensive compounds in glands covering its leaves and other tissues. The density and the chemical filling of these glands increase systematically in developing leaves in response to herbivory on older leaves.

Experimental and numerical analysis of micromechanical damage in the punching process for High-Strength Low-Alloy steels [PDF]
Sequential sheet metal forming processes can result in the accumulation of work hardening and damage effects in the workpiece material. The mechanical strength of the final component depends on the “evolution” of these two characteristics in the ...

Meso-scale modelling of 3D woven composite T-joints with weave variations [PDF]
A meso-scale modelling framework is proposed to simulate the 3D woven fibre architectures and the mechanical performance of the composite T-joints, subjected to quasi-static tensile pull-off loading. The proposed method starts with building the realistic

Study of the Mechanical Strength Improvement of Wafers for EWT Solar Cells by Chemical Etching after the Drilling Process [PDF]
Mechanical stability of EWT solar cells deteriorates when holes are created in the wafer. Nevertheless, the chemical etching after the hole generation process improves the mechanical strength by removing part of the damage produced in the drilling ...

An alternative 3D model for damage induced anisotropy and unilateral effect in microcracked materials [PDF]
A three-dimensional model of damage by microcrack growth is proposed to account for the mechanical behavior of quasi brittle materials (especially for concrete and rocks). The emphasis is put on the induced anisotropy and on the elastic moduli dependence
