High‐Temperature Nanoindentation of Metals: Assessing Thermal Drift, Frame Compliance, and Chemical Composition Effects on the Reported Mechanical Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Do not let thermal drift and instrument artifacts deceive high‐temperature nanoindentation results. We compare classical Oliver–Pharr and automatic image recognition analyses across steels and a Ni alloy to quantify these effects. Accounting for artifacts reveals systematic softening with temperature, while Cr and Ni additions boost resistance ...

Estimation for the Nonlinear Functional Relationship

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 1988
Let \(\{b_ n\}^{\infty}_{n=1}\) and \(\{a_ n\}^{\infty}_{n=1}\) be sequences of positive real numbers such that \(a_ n\cdot b_ n=n\). Let \[ f(z^ 0_ t,\beta^ 0)=0,\quad t=1,2,...,b_ n \] be a functional relationship, where \(z^ 0_ t\) are unobservable fixed vectors belonging to a parameter space \(\Gamma \subset R^ p\), \(\beta^ 0\in \Omega \subset R ...

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Tikhonov Regularized Variable Projection Algorithms for Separable Nonlinear Least Squares Problems

open access: yesComplexity, 2019
This paper considers the classical separable nonlinear least squares problem. Such problems can be expressed as a linear combination of nonlinear functions, and both linear and nonlinear parameters are to be estimated.

Optimization of the Production of Rubber Compounds Using Mathematical Models

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Rubber compounds were mixed in a batch internal mixer, and symbolic regression was used to derive mathematical models linking recipe and process parameters to ram path, torque, and mixing quality (incorporation, dispersion, distribution). Subsequent optimization with evolutionary algorithms identified operating conditions that reduce specific energy ...

Workflow for Design of Experiments‐Based Modeling of Species Transport and Growth Kinetics in GaN Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A novel workflow for investigating hydride vapor phase epitaxy for GaN bulk crystal growth is proposed. It combines Design of experiments (DoE) with physical simulations of mass transport and crystal growth kinetics, serving as an intermediate step between DoE and experiments.

A novel efficient estimator for three‐dimensional bearings‐only source localisation with unknown sensor altitude and systematic measurement errors

open access: yesIET Radar, Sonar & Navigation
A novel two‐stage profile maximum likelihood estimator is proposed to estimate the source location and the systematic errors jointly, with the aim of addressing the problem of source localisation using angle‐only measurements from a single sensor with ...
