Machine-learned prediction of the electronic fields in deformed crystals

Submitted by SwarnavaGhosh on

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to share an article titled, "Machine-learned prediction of the electronic fields in a crystal", co-authored by Ying-Shi Teh, Professor Kaushik Bhattacharya and myself. The article is published in the journal Mechanics of Materials. Link to the article:  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mechmat.2021.104070                               

Modified embedded-atom method interatomic potentials for Al-Cu, Al-Fe and Al-Ni binary alloys: From room temperature to melting point

Submitted by mohsenzaeem on

Second nearest neighbor modified embedded-atom method (2NN-MEAM) interatomic potentials are developed for binary aluminum (Al) alloys applicable from room temperature to the melting point. The binary alloys studied in this work are Al-Cu, Al-Fe and Al-Ni. Sensitivity and uncertainty analyses are performed on potential parameters based on the perturbation approach.

Quasi-static modelling of methyl cellulose hydrogels

Submitted by D.Rittel on

MC gels are quite common in our life, from medicine through food additives. We have recently worked on their capability to mitigate strong shocks, but now we are concentrating on quasi-static behavior. This new paper examines and summarizes our findings on what we believe is the simplest yet accurate way to model them. Please note that the downloading period is limited.
