(2019-11-14)In recent decades, the demand in energy has continuously escalated due to the growing world population. In order to meet these ever-growing energy needs, many avenues have been explored. In the oil and gas industry, in ...
-
(2012-02-14)Current research interest in multi-scale modeling of cement paste requires accurate characterization of the time-dependent mechanical properties of the material, particularly the C-S-H phase. Nanoindentation is evaluated ...
-
(2017-04-24)Understanding the creep properties of gas shales at elevated temperatures is critical for accurately predicting reservoir performance and assessing the effect of viscous behavior on closure rate, production rate, and ...
-
(2017-09-01)Reliable evaluation of rock mechanical properties in organic-rich mudrocks is challenging due to their heterogeneity, anisotropy, and complex lithology. It is important to assimilate variable elastic properties and ...
-
(2011-05-02)The present research focuses on the coupling of mechanical and electrical properties of materials and culminates in a direct connection between applied strain to thin-films, thin-film electron binding energy, the energy ...

(2017-12-04)The presence of hydrogen in structural metals and alloys especially steels has proven to be a problem warranting a significant amount of attention for over a century. In steels presence of hydrogen severely degrades its ...
-
(2010-01-20)This thesis presents the research results of a correlation and model based on nano and macroindentation hardness measurements. The materials used to develop and test the correlation include bulk tantalum and O1 tool steel. ...
-
(2020-07-29)Realization of alkali metal anodes would enable batteries with enormous capacities. However, during electrochemical cycling, the deposited metal frequently forms dendrites that can penetrate battery separators, leading to ...
-
(2014-04-28)Low energy planar defects such as twin boundaries have been employed to strengthen materials effectively with insignificant loss of the conductivity and ductility. High density growth twins can be formed in low stacking ...
-
(2013-07-31)Recent studies of fcc metals with dense twins (~10 nm spacing) have revealed impressive mechanical properties, along with improved ductility and electrical conductivity in comparison to nanocrystalline metals with similar ...
