This work presents an understanding of strain-thermal conductivity correlation in a metal (Au), in a semiconductor (Si), and in a ceramic (SiC) using ab initio density functional theory and utilizing a modified nonequilibrium ...

This work addresses the temperature and rate indentation size effects (TRISE) encountered in nanoindentation experiments and the corresponding material intrinsic length scales at different strain rates. The same value for ...

The problem of the axially moving microscale panel based on the modified couple stress theory and the principle of minimum total potential energy is analyzed. The mathematical model of the considered system contains the ...

The compressive response of nanoporous (np) Au with different porosities and ultrathin ligaments of widths 0.5–16 nm is investigated through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. From the results of the uniaxial compressive ...

Among various degradation mechanisms possibly affecting the long-term operation of nuclear power plants, the effects of induced expansion and internal degradation occurring in concrete exposed to high-flux neutron radiation ...

A variety of geomaterials, such as cementitious or clay-based materials, has on the nano-scale a layered microstructure that can contain fluid in its nano-porous space. The creep of such nano-scale basic units is what ...

Taking advantage of the generalized Galerkin potential function and the Fourier transform, the research presented in this paper first derives the Green’s function for a multilayered heterogeneous thin film system. The ...
