Heard, P (author), Šavija, B. (author), Liu, D (author), Smith, GE (author), Hallam, KR (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Flewitt, P.E.J. (author)In quasibrittle materials the addition of specific microstructural features such as porosity can lead to departure from linear elastic behaviour prior to maximum force, followed by graceful failure. A simple but extreme example is reticulated vitreous carbon foam, with its opencell structure of brittle ligaments connected in a threedimensional...conference paper 2016

Liu, D. (author), Heard, P. (author), Savija, B. (author), Smith, G. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Flewitt, P. (author)In the present work, the microstructure and mechanical properties of Gilsocarbon graphite have been characterized over a range of length-scales. Optical imaging, combined with 3D X-ray computed tomography and 3D high-resolution tomography based on focus ion beam milling has been adopted for microstructural characterization. A range of small...conference paper 2015

Varbanescu, A.L. (author), Sips, H. (author), Ross, K.A. (author), Liu, Q. (author), Liu, L.K. (author), Natsev, A. (author), Smith, J.R. (author)In this paper we present a solution for efficient porting of sequential C++ applications on the Cell B.E. processor. We present our step-by-step approach, focusing on its generality, we provide a set of code templates and optimization guidelines to support the porting, and we include a set of equations to estimate the performance gain of the new...conference paper 2007
