Through-thickness texture of a rolled and recrystallized Al-Mg continuous cast alloy was examined using electron backscattered diffraction. Results showed the...
A model and numerical framework is developed for piezoelectric materials. The model treats the piezoelectric and electrostrictive effects by incorporating...
The exposure of a photopolymerizable liquid to ultraviolet (UV) radiation leads to a propagating wavefront of network formation that invades the unpolymerized...
A diverse range of molecular self-organization processes arises from a competition between directional intermolecular interactions and isotropic van der Waals...
