The Void Phenomenon

چکیده
Advances in theoretical ideas on how galaxies formed have not been strongly influenced by the advances in observations of what might be in the voids between the concentrations of ordinary optically selected galaxies. The theory and observations are maturing, and the search for a reconciliation offers a promising opportunity to improve our understanding of cosmic evolution. I comment on the development of this situation and present an update of a nearest neighbor measure of the void phenomenon that may be of use in evaluating theories of galaxy formation. Subject headings: cosmology: theory — galaxies: formation

Damage Behavior in Modern Automotive High Strength Dual Phase Steels During Uniaxial Tensile Deformation
In the present research, damage mechanisms during room temperature uniaxial tensile testing of two different modern high strength dual phase steels,DP780 and DP980, were studied. Detailed microstructural characterization of the strained and sectioned samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that interface decohesion, especially at the triple junctions of...
متن کاملECT and LS-SVM Based Void Fraction Measurement of Oil-Gas Two-Phase Flow
A method based on Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) and an improved Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) is proposed for void fraction measurement of oil-gas two-phase flow. In the modeling stage, to solve the two problems in LS-SVM, pruning skills are employed to make LS-SVM sparse and robust; then the Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm is introduced to solve the difficult problem...
متن کاملThe Void Phenomenon Explained
We use high-resolution N-body simulations, combined with a halo occupation model of galaxy bias, to investigate voids in the galaxy distribution. Our goal is to address the “void phenomenon” of Peebles (2001), which presents the observed dearth of faint galaxies in voids as a challenge to the current cosmology. In our model, galaxy luminosity is determined only as a function of dark matter halo...
متن کاملOn the role of secondary porosity and associated ‘Size- effects’ in the mechanism of void growth and coalescence
AEROSPACE ENGINEERING engineering.tamu.edu/aerospace Abstract Ductile fracture in metals is an area of active research. While the mechanism of failure (void nucleation, growth and coalescence) in ductile materials is well-understood, the existing models still have several limitations in an accurate prediction of this phenomenon. These models need to be enriched with a more precise understanding...
متن کاملOn the effect of KIRKENDALL voids on solder joint reliability
A model for the theoretical description of KIRKENDALL voiding is presented based on vacancy diffusion and plastic deformation of spherical voids. We start with a phenomenological explanation of the KIRKENDALL phenomenon and discuss its consequences on microelectronic reliability. After that a constitutive model for void growth is introduced, which, for instances, can be used in order to predict...
