The results of a macro-scale experimental study performed on a hardened class G cement paste [Ghabezloo et al. (2008) Cem. Con. Res. (38) 1424-1437] are used in association with the micromechanics modelling and homogenization technique for…

The insulator to metal transition in solid hydrogen was predicted over 70 years ago but the demonstration of this transition remains a scientific challenge. In this regard, a peak in the temperature vs. pressure melting line of hydrogen may…

We report surface hardening or crust formation, unlike caking, during drying when a confined porous medium was heated from above using IR radiation. These crusts have higher strength than their closest counterparts such as sandcastles and…

Recent experimental developments in hydrogen-rich materials in high pressures have put this class of materials above others in the race toward room temperature superconductivity. As it is the basis of all the materials in this class, the…

Mass concrete plays a crucial role in large-scale projects such as water conservancy hubs and transportation infrastructure. Due to its substantial volume and poor thermal conductivity, the accumulation of hydration heat during the curing…

Structural build-up in fresh cement paste at rest is characterized by time evolutions of storage modulus and yield stress, which both increase linearly in time during the induction period of hydration, followed by an exponential evolution…

A three-dimensional model is presented for the prediction of solidification behavior using a nonlinear transformation of the enthalpy equation in a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) discretization. The effect of phase change in the form…

Phase transformations are widely studied using continuous-heating experiments. In isothermal studies, their kinetics are often described using the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) rate equation. For continuous-heating studies, the same…

Cement paste serves as the universal binder in concrete, formed by mixing water with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). In its fresh state, cement paste is a suspension in which the initial particle inventory continuously dissolves, while…

Experiments and computer simulations have shown that the melt-ing temperature of solid hydrogen drops with pressure above about 65 GPa, suggesting that a liquid state might exist at low temperatures. It has also been suggested that this low…

This study examines the phase transitions occurring during linear heating of the Zr15Nb alloy through a comprehensive, multi-technique methodology comprising in-situ high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction (HEXRD), electrical resistance…

As a contribution to the prediction of the evolutionary behavior of biocomposites in service conditions, this study focused on the simulation of the hydrothermal aging of short natural fiber reinforced composites made by extrusion/injection…

This paper presents the outcome of a study focused on the evolution of internal damage in fresh cement mortar over 25 hours of hardening. In situ timelapse X-ray computed micro-tomography ({\mu}XCT) imaging method was used to detect…

A theoretical model based on the method of super transition arrays (STA) is used to compute the emissivities, opacities and average ionization states of carbon (C) and polystyrene (CH) plasmas in the warm-dense matter regime in which the…

Aging dynamics in thin films of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) have been investigated through dielectric measurements for different types of aging processes. The dielectric constant was found to decrease with increasing aging time at an…

The thermodynamic stability of the hard-sphere gas has been examined, using the formalism of scaled particle theory [SPT], and by applying explicitly the conditions of stability required by both the second and third laws of thermodynamics.…

We perform a three-dimensional, finite temperature Skyrme-Hartree-Fock study of inhomogeneous nuclear matter to determine the critical density and temperature for the phase transition between the pasta phase and homogeneous matter and its…

The thermal stability of 200 nm thick plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited a-C:H and a-C:D layers ranging from soft to hard layers has been studied and compared to that of deposits collected on the Tore Supra tokamak plasma facing…

In the present paper, the pasta phase is studied at finite temperatures within a Thomas-Fermi (TF) approach. Relativistic mean field models, both with constant and density-dependent couplings, are used to describe this frustrated system. We…

We study the transition of a granular packing from liquid to solid bonding in the course of drying. The particles are initially wetted by a liquid brine and the cohesion of the packing is ensured by capillary forces, but the crystallization…
