Abstract: The paper discusses experimental observations and some related theoretical results associated with the mechanical response of two Ti3 Al matrix composites, subjected to transverse loading. Both ...

Abstract: Surface defects corresponding to adatoms, vacancies and steps interact, affecting and often dominating kinetic processes associated with thin-film growth. A discrete harmonic model for the evaluation ...

Abstract: An engineering revolution is currently underway in that devices at the nanometer scale are fabricated. Successful design and development of nanoscale devices and systems will have a significant ...
