Here, we apply a thermo-mechanics based granular micromechanics constitutive relationships of cementitious materials to predict such failure phenomena and investigate the macro- and the micro-scale mechanisms that govern the predicted behavior.
This technology is enabled by a micro scale regeneration mechanism of abrasive stones.
Based on the results, it can be concluded that SEM-EDS analysis and Microscopy observations can help to characterize compositional difference between corrosion layers in the micro scale as well as corrosion mechanisms occurring in archaeological metal artefacts.
The fractographic investigations revealed that the morphologies of nanofillers play a key role on improving mechanical performance by generating different nano- and micro-scale toughening mechanisms.
This was ascribed to the model's inability to account for aggregate-related differences in strain softening and fracture mechanisms on a micro scale.
A micromechanics framework for modelling the mode II interlaminar crack onset and propagation in fibre-reinforced composites is presented with the aim of i) modelling the micro-scale failure mechanisms that underlie interlaminar crack propagation, and ii) determining the effect of the through-thickness pressure on mode II fracture toughness.
The key observations are: In addition to known effects, two additional physical mechanisms increasingly surface at micro scale; and also determine the micro convection characteristics within continuum regime.
At the micro scale FE modelling can be used to determine the mechanism by which deformation occurs upon application of short pulses in laser micro forming (LμF).
In this research work, a control system was designed to automate a developed micro scale form- fill sealing machine which comprises electric motor for the rollers, crank mechanism for the sealing unit, Conveyor and Robotic arm.
At a micro scale it means that many communities simultaneously have unmet needs and underused capacities.
It uses nano-analytical methods in simulation and experiment to consistently describe failure mechanisms on that length scale for more accurate and physically motivated lifetime prediction models for use on a larger (i.e. then the micro) scale.
