The hydride growth on metallic surface can cause material failure, which is a significant form of pitting corrosion. A new multiphase-field model constructed to study the corrosion kinetics, in three order parameters are introduced represent passive film, and metal phase, respectively. Coupling with hydrogen concentration field elastic strain field, this not only presents rupture but also revea...

The recent outbreaks of Ebola virus (EBOV) infections have underlined the impact of the virus as a major threat for human health. Due to the high biosafety classification of EBOV (level 4), basic research is very limited. Therefore, the development of new avenues of thinking to advance quantitative comprehension of the virus and its interaction with the host cells is urgently needed to tackle t...

This work proposes a new modeling of hydrolysis reaction in simulated seawater solution (35 g/L NaCl) with alloys containing α-Mg and Long Period Stacking Ordered (LPSO) phases. Alloys different chemical compositions or thermal treatments were synthesized, leading to (i) microstructures, (ii) over LPSO phase fractions (iii) type (18R 14H). Classical nucleation growth equation is used as an indi...
