Design optimization of heterogeneous microstructured materials
Our ability to engineer materials is limited by our capacity to tailor the material’s microstructure morphology and predict resulting properties. The insufficient knowledge on microstructure-property relationship is due to complexity and randomness in all materials at different scales. The …

Microstructured materials synthesis via salt-assisted ultrasonic spray pyrolysis
Micro- and nanostructured materials are a very important part of today’s technology due to their unique physical, optical, magnetic, and electrical properties. Many methods of producing these materials, however, require expensive precursors or templates and complicated, multi-step procedures. …

Stability analysis of the 4th order Runge Kutta method in application to colloidal particle interactions
… This study is focused on the application to microstructured materials and the impact of external compressive forces on particles. Currently, in the large throughput manufacturing of microstructured materials, problems such as cracking are caused by these external forces. Numerical methods can …

Fast photoemissive probes for shock compression spectroscopy
… in sensors to monitor shock compression of microstructured materials. The second probe developed is based upon CdTe or CdSe quantum dots (QDs). The small size of QDs, their size-tunable narrow photoemission, broad absorption, and fast radiative rate make them attractive candidates for …

Fractals in mechanics of materials
… proposed scaling functions. A broad range of materials are studied, especially the widely used von Mises models for metals and Mohr-Coulomb models for rocks and soils. Polycrystals and thermo-elasto-plastic materials are also investigated. The fractal character of many porous materials …

Interfacial self-assemblies of surfactants at water-oil interfaces
The generation of novel synthetic materials with functionality and hierarchical ordering is a major focus of current studies in materials science and engineering. Self-assembling amphiphilic materials (such as lipids or surfactants) are an important subgroup of colloids and soft matter and are …

FEMxDEM double scale approach with second gradient regularization applied to granular materials modeling
… for geotechnical problems involving granular materials. The Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Discrete Element Method (DEM) are simultaneously applied to solve, respectively, the structural problem at the macro-scale and the material microstructure at the microscale. The advantage of using …
