High resolution spatiotemporal DIC based on coupling of high-speed and low-speed cameras

To achieve high spatiotemporal resolution in measuring deformation fields during rock fracture processes, a global multiview spatiotemporal digital image correlation (G-M-ST-DIC) framework is proposed to integrate data from a hybrid experimental…

In Situ Deformation of Nb₃Sn Cables During Heat Treatment Using Digital Image Correlation

Nb3Sn magnets are primary candidates for future particle colliders such as the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) and the Future Circular Collider (FCC). In particular, the Rod Restack Process (RRP®) requires a heat treatment typically…

Microporosity as key driver of the in-situ properties of a LPBF-AlSi10Mg mesoporous metamaterial

Metallic metamaterials are a novel class of metallic materials, which combine precisely-engineered mesoporous architectures with attractive properties of metals. When produced through additive manufacturing, they inherently contain defects whose…

A high-order solver for simulating tsunami genesis and propagation induced by highly time-dependent earthquake ground motion

To improve the understanding of tsunami generation and propagation mechanisms and to enable more rigorous coastal hazard assessments, numerical simulation has become an indispensable tool. In most tsunami models, seismic dynamics are simplified as…

Blend-to-zero operators for smooth transition functions

Motivated by existing blend-to-zero techniques, a formal framework is developed for defining and constructing blend-to-zero operators on closed intervals for the generation of sufficiently smooth transitions between functions. Such transitions are…

The linear Elasticity complex: a natural formulation

We reformulate the Elasticity complex and Saint-Venant's compatibility condition using the generalized differential complex of Dubois-Violette-Henneaux. This is just a slight and natural modification of the de Rham complex to take account of the…
