Computational predictions of energy materials using density functional theory [PDF]
, 2016 In the search for new functional materials, quantum mechanics is an exciting starting point. The fundamental laws that govern the behaviour of electrons have the possibility, at the other end of the scale, to predict the performance of a material for a ...

Mechanics and materials in fretting
Wear, 1992 Materials fail through overstressing and overstraining. Overstressing leads to crack initiation and later propagation which can cause failure. Overstraining leads to material transformation, for instance strain hardening, followed by changes in material properties such as toughness loss.

Mechanics of Interfacial Composite Materials [PDF]
Langmuir, 2006 Recent experiments and simulations have demonstrated that particle-covered interfaces can exist in stable non-spherical shapes as a result of the steric jamming of the interfacially trapped particles, which confers the interface with solid-like properties. We provide an experimental and theoretical characterization of the mechanical properties of these

Experimental study and modeling on effective thermal conductivity of EPS lightweight concrete
Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2016 The effect of expanded polystyrene (EPS) inclusions on thermal conductivity of lightweight concrete is studied. Various mixtures are produced by incorporating EPS aggregate at different volumes (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) in concrete with three water ...

Mechanics of filled cellular materials [PDF]
Mechanics of Materials, 2016 Abstract Many natural systems display a peculiar honeycomb structure at the microscale and numerous existing studies assume empty cells. In reality, and certainly for biological tissues, the internal volumes are instead filled with fluids, fibers or other bulk materials.

The Role of Representations in an Inductive Deductive Inductive Approach in Engineering: Perspective from Mechanics of Materials [PDF]
Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, 2019 An inductive-deductive-inductive (I-D-I pedagogical approach, strengthened with physical model representation (PMR) was taken in a mechanics of materials course.
