Modelling and simulation techniques are now considered an essential practice for the
materials industry. In order to gain insight into factors that can affect the final properties of a …

Polymer matrix solid buoyancy materials (PSBMs) have the advantages of low density, high
strength, low cost, and low water absorption, and they are widely used in marine …

We present a fast algorithm for generating Laguerre diagrams with cells of given volumes,
which can be used for creating RVEs of polycrystalline materials for computational …

The understanding of the influence of inclusion parameters like size, shape and surface
roughness on the material's fatigue behavior can provide important guidelines for future …

The investigation of high cycle fatigue (HCF) properties of materials is elaborate in
experimental design. To reduce the costs, a multiscale numerical approach to predict the …

Both laser-induced microstructure and coated cemented carbide material have shown the
ability to improve the performance of cutting tools. Biomimetics offers the possibility to …

Glass microballoon syntactic foams consisting of 60–70 vol% hollow glass microballoons
and epoxy resin matrix have gained considerable attention in recent years due to their …

Due to the existence of constituents with strong distinction in mechanical properties, dual
phase steels exhibit remarkably high-energy absorption along with excellent combination of …

Linking the ferrite fraction in a dual-phase (DP) steel microstructure and its electromagnetic
properties is critical in the effort to develop on-line measurement techniques for phase …

A microstructure model is established to study failure of ceramic materials. The model is
based on the Voronoi Tessellation in which random functions are employed to take into …
