Using miniature experiments to reveal strength gradients in battery casings
(2024)International Journal of Mechanical SciencesComplex metallic structures are often manufactured through multi-step forming or casting processes that induce severe mechanical property variations within the final part. Instead of using the virgin material properties to predict the final part performance, the local material properties after manufacturing need to be known. A novel comprehensive testing methodology is presented allowing the resolution of spatial gradients in the plasticity ...Journal Article -
Generalized geometric pore size distribution code GPSD-3D for periodic systems composed of monodisperse spheres
(2024)Computer Physics CommunicationsThe generalized geometric pore size distribution P(r;rp|rc) as function of pore radius r, probe sphere radius rp, and coating thickness rc for a periodic two-dimensional system composed of circles (GPSD-2D) had been defined recently. For rp=rc=0 it reduces to the widely accepted pore radius distribution P(r) introduced by Gelb and Gubbins. The three-dimensional counterpart GPSD-3D for periodic systems composed of spheres is implemented ...Journal Article -

Augmenting materials passports to support disassembly planning based on building information modelling standards
(2024)Journal of Building EngineeringSelective disassembly planning and materials passports are precursor technologies to support the retrieval of reusable building components efficiently. Selective disassembly relies on information about the recovery capacity of the components, while materials passports can be used to keep track of the disassembly information along the component's life cycles. However, the required information for selective disassembly is not represented ...Journal Article -
Phase-field simulation and machine learning of low-field magneto-elastocaloric effect in a multiferroic composite
(2024)International Journal of Mechanical SciencesAchieving appreciable elastocaloric effect under low external field is critical for solid-state cooling technology. Here, a non-isothermal Phase-Field Model (PFM) coupling martensitic transformation with mechanics, heat transfer and magnetostrictive behavior is proposed to simulate Magneto-elastoCaloric Effect (M-eCE) that is induced by magnetic field in a multiferroic composite (e.g., Magnetostrictive-Shape Memory Alloys (MEA-SMA) ...Journal Article -
Investigation of friction modeling on numerical Ti6Al4V cutting simulations
(2024)International Journal of Mechanical SciencesFriction significantly influences chip formation, thereby highlighting its modeling critical in numerical cutting simulations. Notably, issues like the underestimation of feed force in simulations are often attributed to inadequate friction models. Nevertheless, diverse conclusions in the literature regarding friction’s behavior complicate the accurate implementation of this input. Additionally, the enormous number of the available friction ...Journal Article -
Empowering a sustainable urban future: The key role of coordinated settlement development for optimising energy efficiency and socio-economic welfare
(2024)Sustainable Cities and SocietyThe nexus between urbanisation and energy transition represents a critical juncture in the pursuit of sustainable development. As cities continue to grow and expand, their energy needs rise, driving consumption and emissions. Simultaneously, efforts to transition towards renewable energy sources and improve energy efficiency are underway to mitigate climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. However, urbanisation poses a challenge ...Journal Article -
Spawning semiclassical wavepackets
(2024)Journal of Computational PhysicsThe semiclassical (or Hagedorn) wavepackets depending on a fixed set of parameters are an orthonormal L²-basis of generalized coherent states. They have been used to solve numerically the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in its semiclassical formulation, yet their localization property makes them inefficient in case of non-local phenomena such as quantum tunneling. In order to overcome this difficulty, we use simultaneously several ...Journal Article -
Co-evolution of a socio-cognitive scientific network: A case study of citation dynamics among astronomers
(2024)Social NetworksThis paper aims to understand how a group of academics cite each others’ work through time, considering the simultaneous co-evolution of three networks representing their scientific collaboration, the journals in which they publish and institutional membership. It argues that both social and cognitive processes contribute to these dynamics. Two types of network mechanisms are considered specifically: closures by affiliation and closures ...Journal Article
