To maximize the toughening contributions due to fiber bridging and residual stresses upon layering, ultra-high temperature ceramics containing variable amounts of short carbon in functionally graded stacking sequences were designed characterized. Stress fields evaluated by finite element model on (AB)nA more complex asymmetric architectures compared experimental fracture toughness pointing an e...

Abstract Accuracy requirements for machine tools demand an accurate positioning of the tool center point. Due to heat sources, example friction and loss motors, a can undergo complicated deformations during operation. While location mounted sources are known in advance, there also process dependent like hot chips after chip off. Furthermore many material parameters most coupling not exactly, or...
