Experimental study on spalling of deep rock under half sine stress wave disturbance
For the spalling failure phenomenon of deep rock under the action of stress wave disturbance, based on the one-dimensional elastic wave theory, the propagation mechanism of a simple half sine stress wave in a single rock member is clarified, and the ...

The Influence of Specimen Thickness on the High Temperature Corrosion Behavior of CMSX-4 during Thermal-Cycling Exposure [PDF]
CMSX-4 is a single-crystalline Ni-base superalloy designed to be used at very high temperatures and high mechanical loadings. Its excellent corrosion resistance is due to external alumina-scale formation, which however can become less protective under ...

Fire spalling sensitivity of concrete made with recycled concrete aggregates (RCA)
The fire spalling of concrete is a complex phenomenon, which can affect the integrity of the structures during a fire. This thermal instability is associated with a complex coupled chemo-thermo-hydro-mechanical mechanism and it can be influenced by many ...
