The paper presents a numerical simulation used for design of low level experiments on cantilever micro-beams prepared from magnesium alloy AZ31 by focused ion beam millin [...]

In many cases, reinforced concrete structures are influenced by penetration of deteriorating salts that cause corrosion of the steel reinforcement. From a micro-structura [...]

Accelerated chloride migration tests are performed on cylindrical samples made of Portland cement concrete. Low voltage electric field is applied as a driving force for b [...]

This paper compares recent methods of internal hydrophobization of cementitious composite by silicon-based solutions and a crystalline admixture used as the alternation o [...]

This paper is focused on the prediction of macroscopic elastic properties of highly porous aluminium foam. Intrinsic material properties of cell wall constituents are ass [...]

Aluminum foams are structural materials with excellent energy absorption capacity jointed with very low specific weight and high stiffness. Products of aluminum foams are [...]

The paper deals with investigation of trabecular bone behaviour using micromechanical Finite Element models of its inner structure. Material properties of the μFE models [...]

Two approaches are applied to define short-term histories of creep compliance of a common epoxy composition loaded by a step load with the aim to compare the results with [...]

Nanoindentation is widely used for the assessment of micromechanical behavior of multiple phases within the material microstructure. Evaluation is often restricted to iso [...]

This paper deals with nanoindentation of cement paste as a representative of heterogeneous and time-dependent building material. The paper concerns on the appropriateness [...]
