TL;DR: In this article, a robust combined computational-experimental methodology was used to determine the characteristic interface properties for polyurethane stent coatings bonded to stainless steel, and a comprehensive computational parametric study then established the relationship between peel force, peel radius, interface strength and interface characteristic length.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated approach is presented to measure and model fiber misalignments in FRPs, where a computed tomography (CT) scan is used to identify the fibre geometry and statistically characterise the fibre misalignment angle distribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite-element modeling framework with explicit representation of polycrystalline microstructure for a tempered martensite ferritic steel was presented, and a miniature notched specimen was manufactured from P91 steel with a 20,000h service history and tested at room temperature under three point bending.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results of corresponding TOF measurements recorded at the continuous source of Helmholtz Center Berlin, where a gated time-integrating detector without the corresponding continuous time resolution has been used and the measurements therefore have to be interpreted as proof-of-principle experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified reference stress solution was developed for the assessment of elastic-plastic pipes with surface breaking defects, where the loading is phrased in terms of applied strain.
