Abstract: This paper presents the results of recent studies of cyclic microbend experiments and their consequences for plasticity length-scale phenomena in LIGA Ni microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) thin ...

Abstract: The effects of vanadium layer thickness (100, 200 and 400 μm) on the resistance-curve behavior of NiAl/V, microlaminates are examined in this paper. The fracture resistance of the NiAl ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of the combined experimental investigation and digital image correlation (DIC) analysis of the fatigue failure of open cell aluminum foams. Compression–compression ...

Abstract: The microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrasonically welded AA6111-T4 specimens are discussed. The effects of welding time on the mechanical properties of welded joints are investigated. ...

Abstract: The focus of this study is on the physical properties of clay ceramic materials compatible for drinking water filtration. A multiparameter lognormal multivariate regression approach is proposed ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of recent experimental and finite element studies of contact damage in model dental multilayered systems with equivalent elastic properties to those of crown/join/dentin ...

Abstract: Surface and subsurface crack nucleation and growth mechanisms are elucidated for equiaxed (microstructure 1), elongated (microstructure 2), and colony (microstructure 3) microstructures of Ti6242. ...

Abstract: In this study, a comprehensive assessment of doped ceramic water filters (doping with hydroxyapatite and alumina) was conducted for potential application in household water treatment. The efficiency/reliability was assessed ...
