The determination of the elastic properties of composite materials (multiphase aggregates, polycrystals, and porous or cracked solids) from the elastic properties of the components may be approached in several ways. The problem may be treated statistically, via scattering theory, through variational ...
Bars labelled with the same letter are not significantly different. 4. Conclusions Overall, zein networks demonstrate unique viscous properties when first formed, but transition into stronger, more elastic structures after 24 h of storage. This is reflected in the secondary structure, with some ...
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) production is growing rapidly due to its several advantages in terms of enhanced properties and applications. However, there are associated sustainability issues with the SCC materials. With the demand for SCC expected to continually increase, an ideal solution is therefo...
Tasks include predicting optical, thermal, electronic, thermodynamic, tensile, and elastic properties given a material’s composition and/or crystal structure. The reference algorithm, Automatminer, is a highly-extensible, fully automated ML pipeline for predicting materials properties from materials ...
properties (i.e., elastic and strength properties) of the rock around the borehole and inside of the stripes for cases #1 and #2, respectively, are the same. The main difference is that the inter-layer strength properties used in case #2 are weaker that those corresponding to the rock....
Performance-use jackets typically have very breathable materials designed to dump extra heat and dry quickly, so you don’t have to remove the jacket during vigorous activity. Many will have synthetic insulation that breathes a little better than down and will retain its insulating properties even ...
To compute homogenized material properties numerically using the finite element method, we need either an RVE or RUC. For periodic materials, the RVE can be the same as the RUC, but for nonperiodic materials, the concept of RUC is not valid and thus the RVE material subvolume must be used...
Measurements of the elastic constants, the specific heat and the entropy of grain boundaries have been performed by utilizing ultra-fine grained materials (Pd, 6nm grain size ; Mg, 12 nm grain size ; CaF2, 7 nm grain size) about 30 to 50 vol% of which consist of grain boundaries. The...
The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) advanced a new paradigm for materials discovery and design, namely that the pace of new materials deployment could be accelerated through complementary efforts in theory, computation, and experiment. Along with numer
One representative example is the ionic transport properties in solid-state materials. The energy barriers for the solid-state diffusion of charge carriers can be calculated using the nudge elastic band method (NEB)51. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) provides an additional means to estimate ...
