Spanish researchers have demonstrated a scalable manufacturing process for carbon nanotube (CNT) fibres with electrical conductivity comparable to that of copper and aluminium.

This time, Julia Lyubina from Evonik will discuss how a global specialty chemicals company like Evonik turns scientific insight into sustainable industrial solutions. Abstract: In this talk, Julia Lyubina will discuss how a global specialty chemicals company such as Evonik turns scientific insight into sustainable industrial solutions. Drawing on her own trajectory from academic research […]

Abstract: He will present a general result concerning flexural wave propagation in periodic layered beams (waveguides), valid for any number of layers in the unit cell, no matter either the material properties or the cross-section geometry. Beginning with propagation of longitudinal waves in 1D layered media, the connection between spectral analysis of transfer matrices and […]

Abstract: Is it HELP or HEDE? This seminar discusses hydrogen embrittlement in Ni and Ni-based alloys. Two recent experiments suggest that the mechanism is not localized plasticity (HELP), but rather a decohesion-type mechanism (HEDE) linked to metastable nickel hydrides. Evidence from in situ deformation and neutron diffraction supports the role of grain boundary hydrides in […]

Abstract: This work develops a novel physical simulation approach using the GLEEBLE thermo-mechanical simulator to replicate additive manufacturing thermal conditions in a controlled laboratory environment. By reproducing the rapid solidification and thermal cycling characteristic of Laser Powder Bed Fusion and Directed Energy Deposition processes, the work systematically investigates how thermal…
