Li, Jiayu (author), Accardo, A. (author), Liu, Shutian (author)Micro/nanoscale additive manufacturing provides a powerful tool for advanced materials and structures with complex and precise features. For instance, the feature resolution of two-photon polymerization (2PP) can reach 200 nm. At this scale, materials properties can change, and the influence of the size effect cannot be ignored. Therefore, it...journal article 2024

Jiang, Nengdong (author), Ge, Zhi (author), Wang, Zhiyuan (author), Gao, Tianming (author), Zhang, Hongzhi (author), Ling, Yifeng (author), Šavija, B. (author)This study investigates the size effect on the compressive strength of foamed concrete at the mesoscale level combining X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) and a discrete lattice model. Image segmentation techniques and X-CT were employed to obtain virtual specimens comprising hydrated cement paste and air voids. The lineal-path function and...journal article 2024

Schouwenaars, R. (author), Kestens, L.A.I. (author)While the grain size effect (GSE) is universally observed in polycrystalline metals and alloys, extended dislocation pileups (DPUs) at grain boundaries (GBs) are rarely observed. Although this discrepancy was noticed over 50 years ago, DPUs are still widely accepted as the explanation for the GSE, often expressed as the Hall-Petch (HP)...journal article 2023

Liao, D.L. (author), Cheng, L. (author), Correia, J.H.G. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Zhu, Shun Peng (author), Winkes, Jasper (author), Creusen, Koen (author), Berto, Filippo (author)Hole patterns are common in engineering design for connections and/or assembly purposes. Geometrical discontinuities can cause stress concentration in localized areas, making them more prone to fatigue crack initiation and influencing the fatigue life of the overall unit. In the past, much effort has been exerted on fatigue modelling of holed...journal article 2023

Chang, Z. (author), Zhang, Hongzhi (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)The lattice fracture model is a discrete model that can simulate the fracture process of cementitious materials. In this work, the Delft lattice fracture model is reviewed and utilized for fracture analysis. First, a systematic calibration procedure that relies on the combination of two uniaxial tensile tests is proposed to determine the input...journal article 2020

Celebi, A.T. (author), Jamali, S.H. (author), Bardow, André (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), Moultos, O. (author)The number of molecules used in a typical Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations is orders of magnitude lower than in the thermodynamic limit. It is therefore essential to correct diffusivities computed from Molecular Dynamics simulations for finite-size effects. We present a comprehensive review on finite-size effects of diffusion coefficients...journal article 2020

Irani, N. (author), Nicola, L. (author)During plastic deformation, metal surfaces roughen and this has a deleterious impact on their tribological performance. It is therefore desirable to be able to predict and control the amount of roughening caused by subsurface plasticity. As a first step, we focus on modelling plastic deformation during contact shearing of an FCC metallic...journal article 2019

Dawass, N. (author), Krüger, Peter (author), Schnell, S. K. (author), Bedeaux, D. (author), Kjelstrup, S (author), Simon, J. M. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author)The modelling of thermodynamic properties of liquids from local density fluctuations is relevant to many chemical and biological processes. The Kirkwood–Buff (KB) theory connects the microscopic structure of isotropic liquids with macroscopic properties such as partial derivatives of activity coefficients, partial molar volumes and...journal article 2018

Shafqat, Salman (author), Hoefnagels, Johan P.M. (author), Savov, A.M. (author), Joshi, S. (author), Dekker, R. (author), Geers, Marc G.D. (author)The exciting field of stretchable electronics (SE) promises numerous novel applications, particularly in-body and medical diagnostics devices. However, future advanced SE miniature devices will require high-density, extremely stretchable interconnects with micron-scale footprints, which calls for proven standardized (complementary metal-oxide...journal article 2017

Irani, N. (author), Remmers, Joris J.C. (author), Deshpande, Vikram S. (author)Plastic size effects in single crystals are investigated by using finite strain and small strain discrete dislocation plasticity to analyse the response of cantilever beam specimens. Crystals with both one and two active slip systems are analysed, as well as specimens with different beam aspect ratios. Over the range of specimen sizes...journal article 2017

Ng Wei Siang, K. (author), Nicola, L. (author)Discrete dislocation plasticity simulations are carried out to investigate the static frictional response of sinusoidal asperities with (sub)-microscale wavelength. The surfaces are first flattened and then sheared by a perfectly adhesive platen. Both bodies are explicitly modelled, and the external loading is applied on the top surface of...journal article 2017

Malagu, M. (author), Lyulin, Alexey (author), Benvenuti, Elena (author), Simone, A. (author)Molecular-dynamics simulations of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in a coarse-grained amorphous monodisperse polyethylene-like model system have been carried out. The roles of nanotube diameter and chirality on the physical and structural properties of the composite are thoroughly discussed for several CNTs with different...journal article 2016

Xiao, J. (author), Bauer, G.E.W. (author), Brataas, A. (author)We study the bias-dependent spin-transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions in the Stoner model by scattering theory. We show that the in-plane (Slonczewski type) torque vanishes and subsequently reverses its direction when the bias voltage becomes larger or the barrier wider than material and device-dependent critical values. We are able to...journal article 2008

Gutiérrez, M.A. (author)The direct differentiation method is applied to the estimation of statistical size effect behaviour in quasi-brittle solids. The scale factor is included in the finite element model and the autocorrelation function. Particular attention is paid to the proper differentiation of the Nataf transformation, which has been chosen to convert the basic...journal article 2006

Van Vliet, M.R.A. (author), Van Mier, J.G.M. (author)A series of uniaxial tension experiments has been conducted to investigate the size effect on strength and fracture energy of concrete and sandstone. The experiments were carried on specimens of six different sizes in a scale range of 1:32. Depending on the material and the curing conditions a stronger or weaker size effect on the nominal...journal article 2000
