Notch aspects of RSP steel microstructure

Design aspects of steel I-girders with corrugated steel webs

Corrugated web girders represent a new structural system emerged in the past two decades. The girder’s flanges provide the flexural strength of the girder with no contribution from the corrugated web which provides the girder’s shear capacity. Failure of the web occurs by steel yielding, web buckling or interactively between them. Lateral torsion and local flange buckling of corrugated web gird...

Microstructure and Stress Aspects of Electromigration Modeling

The modifications and extensions of standard continuum models used for a description of material transport due to electromigration with models for the copper microstucture are studied. Copper grain boundaries and interfaces are modeled as a network of high diffusivity paths. Additionally, grain boundaries act as sites of vacancy recombination. The connection between mechanical stress and materi...

Microstructure of the neocortex: comparative aspects.

The appearance of the neocortex, its expansion, and its differentiation in mammals, represents one of the principal episodes in the evolution of the vertebrate brain. One of the fundamental questions in neuroscience is what is special about the neocortex of humans and how does it differ from that of other species? It is clear that distinct cortical areas show important differences within both t...

Microstructure of heavily deformed magnesium-lithium composites containing steel fibers

The microstructure of deformation-processed metal-metal composites (DMMC) of Mg-Li alloys containing steel reinforcing fibers was characterized to correlate the fiber size to the deformation strain and mechanical properties of the composite material. Micrographs taken using scanning and transmission electron microscopy techniques revealed fiber sizes larger than predicted from the deformation a...
