Model order reduction for the fatigue life prediction of wire ropes in tension and bending

Helically wounded steel wires in tension and bending are widely encountered, especially in the energy and power transmission fields, e.g. mooring lines for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) or overhead electrical conductors. The life prediction…

Manifold learning for coherent design interpolation based on geometrical and topological descriptors

In the context of intellectual property in the manufacturing industry, know-how is referred to practical knowledge on how to accomplish a specific task. This know-how is often difficult to be synthesised in a set of rules or steps as it remains in…

Monitoring of Mortar Hydration Combining Microwave and Calorimetry Measurements

Calorimetry is the standard measurement method for monitoring the hydration of cementitious materials and retrieving their hydration degree. However, it is destructive and impractical for in situ measurements. Electromagnetic measurements are…

Evidence of artefacts made of giant sloth bones in central Brazil around the last glacial maximum

The peopling of the Americas and human interaction with the Pleistocene megafauna in South America remain hotly debated. The Santa Elina rock shelter in Central Brazil shows evidence of successive human settlements from around the last glacial…

Strains in Fe/Cr/Fe trilayers and (Fe/Cr)5/Fe multilayers epitaxied on MgO and MgO/SrTiO3

Fe/Cr/Fe trilayers and multilayers are prepared as model systems designed to furnish simple data comparable with calculation results for diffusion properties in nuclear materials. Their structure (epitaxy, residual strains and dislocations) is…

Multiscale Effects of Collagen Damage in Cortical Bone and Dentin

The denaturation of collagen at the molecular level in bone and dentin can impact their structure and properties, leading to increased brittleness in pathological diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, dentinogenesis imperfecta, diabetes, and…

Heterogeneity in tribologically transformed structure (TTS) of Ti–6Al–4V under fretting

Fretting wear is a surface degradation process caused by oscillatory motion and contact slipping. During gross slip, high local stresses and plastic deformation in the surface and subsurface can lead to the creation of a nanosized grained structure…
