... capillary porosity and enhances the microstructure, particularly under extreme chloride exposure conditions (Mohammadhassani et al., 2014 ; Toghroli, Ali shaeiati, Mahdi rehan, Mohamed ibrahim, 2017). The construction industry continues to face a major durability challenge due to deterioration...

...Ziyan Guo; Xuhao Liu; Zehua Pan; Yexin Zhou; Zheng Zhong; Zilin Yan Purpose In recent years, the convolutional neural network (CNN) based deep learning approach has succeeded in data-mining the relationship between microstructures and macroscopic properties of materials. However, such CNN models...

...Łukasz Łach; Dmytro Svyetlichnyy Purpose Some functional properties of engineering materials, i.e. physical, mechanical and thermal ones, depend directly on the microstructure, which is a result of processes occurring in the material during the forming and thermomechanical processing. The proper...

...Amitava Choudhury; Snehanshu Pal; Ruchira Naskar; Amitava Basumallick Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop an automated phase segmentation model from complex microstructure. The mechanical and physical properties of metals and alloys are influenced by their microstructure, and therefore...

...Ribeka Takahashi; David T. Fullwood; Travis M. Rampton; Darrell J. Skousen; Brent L. Adams; Christopher A. Mattson Purpose – Microstructure-sensitive design (MSD), for optimal performance of engineering components that are sensitive to material anisotropy, has largely been confined to the realm...

...Professor Y.T. Feng, Professor Xikui Li, Professor Yuanqiang Tan and Professor Shunying Ji; Sihong Liu; Zijian Wang; Yishu Wang; Liujiang Wang; Zhongzhi Fu Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a new yield function for granular materials based on microstructures. Design...

... of polyethylene considering the microstructure and degradation processes occurring under uniaxial tension. Design/methodology/approach The material morphology is modelled as a collection of inclusions. Each inclusion consists of crystalline material lying in a thin lamella attached to an amorphous layer...
