281. Overall thermo-magneto-electro-elastic properties of multiferroics composite materials with arbitrary heterogeneities spatial distributions
Date: 15-09-15 

…dy extends our recent work (Koutsawa, 2014) to multiferroics composite materials with temperature-independent properties. The key ingredient in this development is the computation of the so-called interaction tensors…

282. Characterization of a plasma polymer coating from an organophosphorus silane deposited at atmospheric pressure for fire-retardant purposes
Date: 14-09-15 

… Coatings were deposited on polycarbonate (PC) and polyamide 6 (PA6) substrates. The flame retardant properties of coated substrate samples were assessed using cone calorimetry and compared to those of bare…

283. A multilayer coating with optimized properties for corrosion protection of Al
Date: 18-08-15 

… coating to increase the corrosion resistance of the coating. An improvement in the anti-corrosion properties of the multilayer coating by approximately three orders of magnitude as compared to the uncoated…

284. Thermal wrinkling of thin membranes using a Fourier-related double scale approach
Date: 14-08-15 

… ratio, wave number, and pre-stressed membranes are discussed from a numerical point of view and the properties of the wrinkles (critical load, wavelength, size, and location) are presented. Thin-Walled…

285. Machine learning for toxicity characterization of organic chemical emissions using USEtox database: Learning the structure of the input space
Date: 13-08-15 

… on target. Different models and approaches do exist, but all require a vast amount of data on the properties of the chemical compounds being assessed, which are hard to collect or hardly publicly available…

286. Computational study of acidic and basic functionalized crystalline silica surfaces as a model for biomaterial interfaces
Date: 12-08-15 

… chemical character for the substitution. Structures, energetics, electronic, and vibrational properties were computed and compared as a function of the increasing loading of the functional groups (from…

287. An XFEM/CZM implementation for massively parallel simulations of composites fracture
Date: 12-08-15 

… is thus often sacrificed in favor of scalability, and vice versa. In an effort to preserve both properties, we present here an extended finite element method (XFEM) for large scale composite fracture…

288. Hybrid improper ferroelectricity in multiferroic superlattices: finite-temperature properties and electric-field-driven switching of polarization and magnetization
Date: 25-06-15 

…The so-called hybrid improper ferroelectricity (HIF) mechanism allows to create an electrical polarization by assembling two nonpolar materials within a superlattice. It may also lead to the control of the magnetization…

289. Exploiting interfacial and size effects to construct oxide superlattices with robust and tunable magnetoelectric properties at room temperature
Date: 25-06-15 

…We propose a strategy to create materials displaying robust and tunable magnetoelectric multiferroic properties at room temperature. The key idea is to construct heterostructures that combine two different constituents:…

290. H-bonding supramolecular interactions driving the dispersion of kaolin into benzoxazine: A tool for the reinforcement of polybenzoxazines thermal and thermo-mechanical properties
Date: 05-06-15 

… method, leading to high performance materials with improved thermal and thermo-mechanical properties. As the improvement of the thermo-mechanical properties could be due to a catalytic effect of the…
