Fuel movement along grain boundaries in ice
Knowledge about movement of hydrocarbon-based fuels in ice is relevant to marine and terrestrial fuel spills in polar regions, and to the dispersion of hydrocarbon-based drilling fluids used to maintain lithostatic pressure in deep ice coring projects. The latter is of concern from both environmental and sample integrity aspects, particularly for projects that plan to sample deep subglacial env...
متن کاملAtomistic explanation of shear-induced amorphous band formation in boron carbide.
Boron carbide (B4C) is very hard, but its applications are hindered by stress-induced amorphous band formation. To explain this behavior, we used density function theory (Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof flavor) to examine the response to shear along 11 plausible slip systems. We found that the (0111)/<1101> slip system has the lowest shear strength (consistent with previous experimental studies) and tha...
متن کاملAtomistic Origin of Brittle Failure of Boron Carbide from Large-Scale Reactive Dynamics Simulations: Suggestions toward Improved Ductility.
Ceramics are strong, but their low fracture toughness prevents extended engineering applications. In particular, boron carbide (B(4)C), the third hardest material in nature, has not been incorporated into many commercial applications because it exhibits anomalous failure when subjected to hypervelocity impact. To determine the atomistic origin of this brittle failure, we performed large-scale (...
متن کاملCurrent transport along grain boundaries in d-wave superconductors
The use of a classic phase retrieval algorithm has been previously used to determine the local critical current Jc(x) along the length of grain boundary Josephson junctions that can be characterized using a standard s-wave model. The phase retrieval approach has been modified for use with d-wave dominated superconductors to allow for negative local currents along the boundary. In general soluti...
متن کاملA unified approach to motion of grain boundaries, relative tangential translation along grain boundaries, and grain rotation
We postulate that almost any motion of an interface between two crystals can produce a coupled tangential motion of the two crystals relative to each other which is proportional to the normal motion of the interface. Such translations can produce grain rotations; the special case of the rotations of shrinking included circular cylindrical grains which increase misorientation, as seen in the mol...
