A homogenisation scheme based on inclusion modelling is coupled with constitutive laws for damage and implemented in a finite element model for the simulation of concrete and reinforcement bar damage in reinforced concrete ...

High Entropy Alloys (HEA) are materials consisting of a mixture of five or more elements in equal or relatively large proportions. They are a promising alternative material due to their desirable properties such as good ...

Charging of dielectric materials in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) actuated electrostatically is a major reliability issue. In our previous work we proposed a feedback loop control method that is implemented as ...

We examine the phenomenon of flexoelectric switching of polarization in ultrathin films of barium titanate induced by a tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM). The spatial distribution of the tip-induced flexoelectricity ...

Este trabajo presenta una simulación computacional y resultados de la evolución de la microestructura durante la solidificación de una fundición de grafito esferoidal, obtenidos mediante autómatas celulares. La microestructura ...

We demonstrate a simple physical fabrication method to control surface roughness of Janus micromotors and fabricate self-propelled active Janus microparticles with rough catalytic platinum surfaces that show a four-fold ...

The strength of the interphase between the reinforcements and the matrix has a major role in the mechanical properties of natural ¿ber reinforced polyole¿n composites. The creation of strong interphases is hindered by the ...
