Scaling with respect to disorder in time-to-failure
, 1997 We revisit a simple dynamical model of rupture in random media with long-range elasticity to test whether rupture can be seen as a first-order or a critical transition.

Properties of High Performance Self Compacting Concrete Continuously Exposed in Oil Products [PDF]
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2014 Self compacted concrete (SCC) is a new generation of concrete. Its behavior after exposure to oil products is still unknown. This investigation includes producing SCC and investigate its properties after different exposure periods (28,60,90,120,150 and ...

Effect of impurities and sintering temperature on properties of MgO-CaZrO3 ceramic [PDF]
, 2013 CaZrO3 -MgO ceramics are useful as refractories in kilns for the cement production. One method of manufacture of such ceramics is by sintering from m-ZrO2 and dolomite MgCa(CO3 )2 mixtures. In this work electrofused m-ZrO2 grains (fraction

Nucleation of cracks in a brittle sheet
, 2009 We use molecular dynamics to study the nucleation of cracks in a two dimensional material without pre-existing cracks. We study models with zero and non-zero shear modulus.

Interseismic strain accumulation: Spin-up, cycle invariance, and irregular rupture sequences [PDF]
, 2006 Using models of infinite length strike-slip faults in an elastic layer above linear viscoelastic regions, we investigate interseismic deformation. In the models we investigate, interseismic strain accumulation on mature faults is the result of the ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates laser shock peening for enhancing fatigue performance of riveted aerospace aluminum joints. A comparative approach with cold expansion combines fatigue testing and synchrotron X‐ray methods. Integrating mechanical testing with residual stress and strain characterization provides insights into how different treatments affect the ...

Breakdown of disordered media by surface loads
, 2004 We model an interface layer connecting two parts of a solid body by N parallel elastic springs connecting two rigid blocks. We load the system by a shear force acting on the top side.

Thermal activation of rupture and slow crack growth in a model of homogenous brittle materials [PDF]
, 2003 Slow crack growth in a model of homogenous brittle elastic material is described as a thermal activation process where stress fluctuations allow to overcome a breaking threshold through a series of irreversible steps.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.In this experimental study, the mechanical properties of additively manufactured Ti‐6Al‐4V lattice structures of different geometries are characterized using compression, four point bending and fatigue testing. While TPMS designs show superior fatigue resistance, SplitP and Honeycomb lattice structures combine high stiffness and strength. The resulting

Effect of heat treatments on the strength and stiffness of poplar
Maderas: Ciencia y TecnologíaThe influence of environmental conditions on wood material properties is known. Temperature is one of them and its effect on poplar wood has been examined in a limited way which this study tried to figure out this issue in a limited context.
