Concretes containing mixed recycled aggregate (RA) have a larger number of coarse
aggregate/paste interfacial transition zones (ITZs) than conventional concretes, due to the …

An analysis of compiled literature nanoindentation hardness (Hc) and elastic modulus (E)
values of molecular crystals revealed a wide range of mechanical properties (0.001–1.80 …

Abstract Obtaining “hard” and “crack-resistant” glasses have always been of great important
in glass science and glass technology. However, in most commercial glasses both …

Sodium aluminoborate glasses are found to exhibit favorable mechanical properties,
especially high crack resistance, due to their relatively low resistance to network compaction …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy
experiments have been carried to study the structure of sodium silicate glasses (SiO2)(100 …

The constituents of oxide glasses are typically classified as network formers, which form the
rigid backbone of glasses, and network modifiers, which tend to either charge stabilize …

The temperature and chemical dependence of the melt viscosity are ubiquitous in the model
development of the volcanic dynamics, as well as in the glass production and design. We …

Vickers indentation methods are popular techniques for the determination of hardness,
indentation fracture toughness, and crack initiation resistance in silicate glasses …

In this paper we analyze results of Molecular Dynamics simulations of Vickers
nanoindentation, performed for sodium borosilicate glasses of interest in the nuclear …

We report on the lateral hardness of glasses from the Na 2 O-CaO-SiO 2 (NCS) system,
including CS and NS binaries. Quantitative data are provided on the work of lateral …
