Nanostructure, mechanical and tribological properties of reactive magnetron sputtered TiCx coatings
(2008)
This study describes the correlation between microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of TiCx coatings (with x being in the range of 0–1.4), deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from a Ti target in ...
Tribological properties of twin electron-beam evaporated Cr-N and Al-Cr-N coatings under laboratory sliding and drill experiments
(2008)
The tribological behavior of substoichiometric Cr-N and Al-Cr-N coatings prepared by twin electron-beam evaporation at 450°C was studied. Al-Cr-N coatings with Al to Cr ratios in the range of 1-8 (and nitrogen concentrations ...
The density of water in carbon nanotubes
(2008)
In this paper, the density of water confined in carbon nanotubes of different sizes and chirality is calculated. Molecular dynamics is used to simulate the spontaneous filling of the nanotube with water molecules coming ...

This study describes the correlation between the microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of Ti 1-xCx coatings (with x being in the range of 0-0.5), deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from a Ti target ...
Synthesis and characterization of well-defined block and statistical copolymers based on lauryl methacrylate and 2-(acetoacetoxy)ethyl methacrylate using RAFT-controlled radical polymerization
(2008)
Four well-defined diblock copolymers and one statistical copolymer based on lauryl methacrylate (LauMA) and 2-(acetoacetoxy)ethyl methacrylate (AEMA) were prepared using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer ...
Influence of water model and nanotube rigidity on the density of water in carbon nanotubes
(2008)
The density of water calculated through molecular dynamic simulations using different water models and rigid/flexible carbon nanotubes is studied. A previous equation, determined in an earlier work in order to correlate ...
Microstructure-based, multiscale modeling for the mechanical behavior of hydrated fiber networks
(2008)
A multiscale formulation is derived for the mechanics of a dilute fiber network microstructure, as occurs in in vitro reconstituted collagen gels, to accommodate the deterministic solution of a uniform-stress condition in ...
Fabrication and characterization of nanoscale heating sources ("nanoheaters") for nanomanufacturing

Nanoheater systems based on the exothermic reaction between aluminum and nickel were developed. Multilayered and powder-based heterostructures were fabricated and characterized, before and after ignition experiments, for ...
Using the Milliken Moment Method and dynamic simulation to evaluate vehicle stability and controllability
(2008)
The Milliken Moment Method (MMM) effectively organises kinematically constrained vehicle test results. The authors present a method for evaluating vehicle handling
A grid-free abstraction of the Navier-Stokes equations in Fortran 95/2003
(2008)
Computational complexity theory inspires a grid-free abstraction of the Navier-Stokes equations in Fortran 95/2003. A novel complexity analysis estimates that structured programming time grows at least quadratically with ...
