In this paper, a direct method-based prediction of load-bearing capacity of nonperiodic WC-Co composites is presented. The main goal is to generalize the methodology of limit analysis on periodic heterogeneous media to materials with random microstructures. For such materials, the admissible macroscopic loading domain…

Coiled steel strip is the final product from flat hot rolling processes. With increasing demand for higher quality of hot rolled strips, especially the evolution of strip flatness during and after coiling becomes a crucial aspect. The main impacts on the flatness properties of hot rolled strips result from residual st…

Due to strong thermo-mechanical coupling in shape memory alloys (SMAs), heat generation/absorption during forward/reverse phase transformation can cause temperature variations in the material; influencing its mechanical behaviour. It is usually assumed that this coupling is only affected by the loading rate. But, rece…

The nucleosome core particle is a highly conserved structure which can play diverse roles depending on the organism, cell, or part of chromatin in which it resides. The Protein Data Bank currently contains approximately 70 nucleosome core particle structures, over half of which were determined in the last three years.…

We study gradient flow formulations of thin-film bilayer flows with triple-junctions between liquid/liquid/air. First we highlight the gradient structure in the Stokes free-boundary flow and identify its solutions with the well-known PDE with boundary conditions. Next we propose a similar gradient formulation for the…

The coherent excitations of DNA hydration water at 100 K have been investigated by neutron scattering spectroscopy to extract the excess signal of D₂O-hydrated DNA with respect to dry DNA samples. A structural characterization of the sample, through the analysis of the static structure factor, has suggested that DNA h…

Additives which alter surface tension can greatly enhance the performance of waterborne coatings. Additive manufacturers promote three major classes of surface tension modifiers, surfactants, silicones, and acetylenic diols. Some of these are based on “green” technology and thus friendly to the environment in addition…

In this work, a homogenization strategy for a micromorphic–type inelastic material is presented. In the spirit of FE2, a representative volume element is attached to each macroscopic quadrature point. Due to the inherent length scale of the micromorphic continuum, size effects for inelastic behavior are obtained on RVE…
