TL;DR: In this article, the optimization of short fibers distribution in continuum structures made of fiber reinforced composite (FRC) by adopting an efficient gradient-based optimization approach is discussed. But, the authors do not consider the non-uniform rational B-spline basis functions.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of curing temperature on the hydration of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) dominated ternary binders (studied CAC: Portland cement: calcium sulfate mass ratio were 22.5: 51.7: 25.8) were estimated at 0, 10, 20 and 40°C, respectively.
Abstract: In this paper, the effects of curing temperature on the hydration of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) dominated ternary binders (studied CAC: Portland cement: calcium sulfate mass ratio were 22.5: 51.7: 25.8) were estimated at 0, 10, 20 and 40 °C, respectively. Both α-hemihydrate and natural anhydrite were employed as the main source of sulfate. The impacts of temperature on the phase assemblages, morphology and pore structure of pastes hydrated up to 3 days were determined by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), backscattered electron imaging (BEI) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). Results reveal that the main hydration products are firmly related to calcium sulphoaluminate based phases. Increasing temperature would result in a faster conversion from ettringite to plate-like monosulfate for both calcium sulfate doped systems. When the temperature increases to 40 °C, an extraordinary formation of stratlingite (C 2 ASH 8 ) and aluminium hydroxide is observed in anhydrite doped pastes. Additionally, increased temperature exerts different effects on the pore structure, i.e. the critical pore diameter shifts to finer one for pastes prepared with α-hemihydrate, but changes to coarser one for those made with anhydrite. From the mechanical point of view, increased temperature accelerates the 1-day strength development prominently, while exerts marginal influence on the development of 3-day strength.

TL;DR: The results show that the main influence of shear strain is on the in-plane phonon density of states (PDOS), whose G band (higher frequency peaks) moved to the low frequency, thus the thermal conductivity is decreased.
Abstract: Tensile strain and compress strain can greatly affect the thermal conductivity of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). However, the effect of GNRs under shear strain, which is also one of the main strain effect, has not been studied systematically yet. In this work, we employ reverse nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD) to the systematical study of the thermal conductivity of GNRs (with model size of 4 nm × 15 nm) under the shear strain. Our studies show that the thermal conductivity of GNRs is not sensitive to the shear strain, and the thermal conductivity decreases only 12–16% before the pristine structure is broken. Furthermore, the phonon frequency and the change of the micro-structure of GNRs, such as band angel and bond length, are analyzed to explore the tendency of thermal conductivity. The results show that the main influence of shear strain is on the in-plane phonon density of states (PDOS), whose G band (higher frequency peaks) moved to the low frequency, thus the thermal conductivity is decreased. The unique thermal properties of GNRs under shear strains suggest their great potentials for graphene nanodevices and great potentials in the thermal managements and thermoelectric applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of the microstructures of ceramic bodies during firing depending on the clay type is presented, and the influence of the utilisation of industrial wastes in ceramic bodies on their microstructure is exemplified by one clay type.
Abstract: The formation of the microstructures of ceramic bodies during firing depending on the clay type will be presented. Through the separation of four different clay types the microstructural development during firing could be systemised. With regard to the hygric behaviour such as capillary suction and humidity absorption as well as to the durability the clay type depending pore structures will be discussed. The influence of the utilisation of industrial wastes in ceramic bodies on their microstructure will be introduced by first results of a current research project and are exemplified by one clay type.

TL;DR: In this paper, the fatigue life of an interfacial cracked plate is evaluated in the presence of flaws by homogenized extended isogeometric analysis (XIGA), where the crack faces are modeled by discontinuous Heaviside jump functions, whereas the singularity in the stress field at the crack tip is modeled by crack tip enrichment functions.
