Effect of various buffer layers for the large-scale atomic layer deposition integration of archetypical SrTiO3 thin film on silicon substrate

The integration of perovskite oxides on silicon remains a technological bottleneck, particularly for the growth of thin SrTiO3 (STO) films used as buffer or template layers for epitaxy. While Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) offers scalability and…

Fast 3D Diffusion for Scalable Discrete Granular Media Synthesis

Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations of granular media are computationally intensive, particularly during initialization phases dominated by large displacements and kinetic energy. This paper presents a novel generative pipeline based on 3D…

Three-dimensional analysis of fretting-fatigue problems under variable normal loading conditions: Correlation between experiments and simulations using a non-local approach

This paper deals with the crack initiation life prediction in fretting-fatigue contacts subjected to complex loading conditions, by taking into account the gradient effects arising in such problems. For this purpose, a non-local modelling of the…

Understanding the failure mechanisms in overmolded composite T-joints via a virtual testing approach

Overmolding discontinuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic elements on a continuous fibers base laminate enables to speed up composite manufacturing. The performance of such assemblies depends on numerous factors, whose roles are impossible to isolate…

Ano1 Antisense Therapy Improves Enamel Properties in Molars but not Amelogenesis in a Murine Model of Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-shortening inherited disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR), a protein that controls the transport of chloride ions across cell membranes…

Failure mechanism identification for multiaxially loaded woven composites using hybrid infrared-visible light correlation

This paper presents a detailed analysis of 3-mm thick woven glass fiber composite samples subjected to complex in-plane loading regimes. Three butterfly shaped samples, each with two V-notches in the gauge region, were tested under tensile, simple…

MPC surrogates based on supervised or unsupervised learning for the real-time control of nonlinear systems

While Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a widely used method for controlling constrained nonlinear systems, data-driven MPC has recently emerged as a viable alternative to explicit MPC when sufficient data is available. This work investigates two…

Three-dimensional crack reconstruction from Beam–Particle Model for CFD-based leakage assessment

Accurate crack characterization in reinforced concrete structures, such as the containment walls of 1300 MWe nuclear power plants,is essential for reliable air leakage estimation. The complexity of crack patterns—including their path, opening, and…

Towards a new PGD strategy for the simulation of slender structures

Effective models for slender structures derived from well-known plate (or shell) theories are justified within the limit of a small thickness, and may therefore prove limited for intermediate slenderness. On the other hand, direct 3D simulation of…
