Modal characterization of crack network development in an MgO containing refractory castable

Damage due to MgO hydration in castables has been studied by bar resonance and recently by Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The hydration reaction kinetics was studied via principal component analyses (PCA) applied to DIC results of images acquired…

Characterization of glass fiber reinforced polymer via Digital Volume Correlation: Quantification of strain activity and damage growth

Strain and damage distributions within a dogbone specimen containing a rectangular notch were assessed in-situ via X-Ray Computer Tomography coupled with Digital Volume Correlation. The specimen cut from a continuous glass fiber mat reinforced…

Deformation mode in 3-point flexure on pantographic block

Pantographic blocks are metamaterials made of a finite number of parallel pantographic sheets interconnected by cylindrical pivots. In this paper, a pantographic block subjected to 3-point flexure, where the prescribed displacements are parallel to…

A mixed stress-strain driven computational homogenization of spiral strands

Spiral strands subjected to tensile force and bending loading display a nonlinear dissipative behavior due to frictional interactions between their elementary wires. This study aims to provide an efficient method, based on a computational…

Boundary condition effect on the evaluation of stress triaxiality fields

A general framework is presented for evaluating stress triaxiality fields using five different configurations of Dirichlet boundary conditions. The latter ones were measured via stereocorrelation for a simple shear test on a thin sample where…

Thermal and Postural Effects on Fluid Mixing and Irrigation Patterns for Intraventricular Hemorrhage Treatment

Intraventricular hemorrhage is characterized by blood leaking into the cerebral ventricles and mixing with cerebrospinal fluid. A standard treatment method involves inserting a passive drainage catheter, known as an external ventricular drain (EVD),…

Hierarchically guided in situ nanolaminography for the visualisation of damage nucleation in alloy sheets

Hierarchical guidance is developed for three-dimensional (3D) nanoscale X-ray imaging, enabling identification, refinement, and tracking of regions of interest (ROIs) within specimens considerably exceeding the field of view. This opens up new…

Rationality of normal forms of isotropy strata of a representation of a compact Lie group

In this article we study the isotropy stratification of a linear representation $V$ of a compact Lie group $G$. We prove that the closed isotropy strata are real algebraic manifolds and that for each isotropy subgroup $H$, every rational invariant…

Automated conformal mesh generation chain for woven composites based on CT-scan images with low contrasts

A novel approach to generate conformal meshes of woven composites at the mesoscopic scale from low-contrast CT-scan images with reconstruction artifacts is presented. The segmentation of the CT-scans relies on texture analysis of the tomography to…
