      On the early breakdown of semisolid suspensions 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Georgiou, Georgios C. (2007)
      Semisolid materials are suspensions of metal alloys which are processed while in a mushy state. In this state, the suspensions behave as viscoplastic materials with time-dependent material properties. During processing, ...

      On the modeling of semisolid suspensions 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2008)
      Due to the distinct rheology of semisolid slurries the process has well established advantages over competing near-net-shape manufacturing technologies. Despite the obvious advantages of the process its adoption by the ...

      Predictions of structure breakdown, buildup and shear banding in semisolid suspensions 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Constantinos, N.; Georgiou, Georgios C. (2008)
      When SSM material is subjected to a sudden transient the rate of buildup (aging) is negligible compared to the rate of breakdown (shear rejuvenation). While this is generally true, due to prolonged processing or the geometry ...

      Transport properties of thermoelectric Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 thin films and bulk alloys 

      Symeou, Elli A. (Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Πολυτεχνική Σχολή / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Engineering, 2016-12)
      Στις μέρες μας, ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά και πολυσυζητημένα προβλήματα είναι η κλιματική αλλαγή και κατά συνέπεια η υπερθέρμανση του πλανήτη αλλά και η ενεργειακή κρίση. Ένα μεγάλο μέρος της ενέργειας που χρησιμοποιείται ...
