In this note, we present a Γ-convergence type result for ferromagnetic films. We propose a model of films for which we could ensure the strong convergence of minimizers when the exchange parameter vanishes. In this model, the plate thickness is kept constant and the magnetization stays constant in the thickness of the film.

We consider the Gamma limit of the Abelian Chern-SimonsHiggs energy

We study the asymptotic behaviour in terms of Γ-convergence of the following one dimensional energy

Carbides and borides appear as minor phases in Inconel 100, although the carbon content (0.18%) is relatively high comparison to other nickel-base superalloys. The material properties of this alloy depend on a number interrelated microstructural parameters, including volume fraction γ' γ, grain size, elemental distribution, precipitation carbides borides. This study presents characterization fa...

Abstract The present work shows that thermal expansion experiments can be used to measure the γʼ-solvus temperatures of four Ni-base single-crystal superalloys (SX), one with Re and three Re-free variants. In case CMSX-4, experimental results are in good agreement numerical thermodynamic obtained using ThermoCalc. For alloys, calculated close. Transmission electron microscopy chemical compositi...

In this paper, we consider the derivation of the modified Wenzel’s and Cassie’s equations for wetting phenomena on rough surfaces from a three-dimensional phase field model. We derive an effective boundary condition by asymptotic two-scale homogenization technique when the size of the roughness is small. The modified Wenzel’s and Cassie’s equations for the apparent contact angles on the rough s...

Abstract The oxidation resistance of novel γ / ’-strengthened Co-base superalloys is clearly outmatched by their Ni-base counterparts within the high-temperature regime. Therefore, surface modification strategies to foster protective alumina growth seem auspicious. This study elucidates impact fluorination and shot-peening on formation at 900 °C for a quaternary model alloy (Co-Al-W-Ta system) ...
