Nanodiamond powder compaction via laser shockwaves: Experiments and finite element analysis

Finite element analysis of lithium insertion-induced expansion of a silicon thin film on a rigid substrate under potentiostatic operation

“…inelastic deformation with volume change for powders [97]) taking account of the hydrostatic stress (e.g. the clay plasticity model [98]) can make plastic deformation effective on concentration variation. .…”

What triggers a microcrack in printed engineering parts produced by selective laser sintering on the first place?

“…There are a number of works presenting finite element analyses on laser sintering products, see e.g. [2,3,4,5], however, this is the first time that XFEM [6] is applied to failure analyses of SLS specimens resulting in new findings on the mechanical behaviour of nylon-12 . The main source of failure is attributed to geometric discontinuity or stress concentration.…”
