Coexistence of superconductivity and spin-splitting fields in superconductor/ferromagnetic insulator bilayers of arbitrary thickness
2021
Ferromagnetic insulators (FI) can induce a strong exchange field in an adjacent superconductor (S) via the magnetic proximity effect. This manifests as spin splitting of the BCS density of states of the superconductor, an important ingredient for numerous superconducting spintronics applications and the realization of Majorana fermions. A crucial parameter that determines the magnitude of the induced spin splitting in FI/S bilayers is the thickness of the S layer d: In very thin samples, the superconductivity is suppressed by the strong magnetism. By contrast, in very thick samples, the spin splitting is absent at distances away from the interface. In this work, we calculate the density of …
Sporta pasākumu organizācijas vietne
2022
Sports ir cilvēka dzīves neatņemama sastāvdaļa. Daudzi sporta veidi prasa noteiktu cilvēku skaitu. Bieži gadās, ka nevaram savākt vajadzīgo cilvēku skaitu. Gadās arī tā, ka trenēties vienam ir vienkārši garlaicīgi. Sporta pasākumu organizācijas vietne ir SPA (Single Page Application) lietotne, kas paredzēta sportistu savienošanai un iepazīstināšanai. Šī lietotne ļauj veidot sporta pasākumus, un lietotāji, savukārt, var tajos piedalīties. Šai lietotnei ir arī karte, kurā var atzīmēt dažāda veida sporta laukumus, piemēram, skeitparku vai tenisa kortu.
A Model for High-Cycle Fatigue in Polycrystals
2018
A grain-scale formulation for high-cycle fatigue inter-granular degradation in polycrystalline aggregates is presented. The aggregate is represented through Voronoi tessellations and the mechanics of individual bulk grains is modelled using a boundary integral formulation. The inter-granular interfaces degrade under the action of cyclic tractions and they are represented using cohesive laws embodying a local irreversible damage parameter that evolves according to high-cycle continuum damage laws. The consistence between cyclic and static damage, which plays an important role in the redistribution of inter-granular tractions upon cyclic degradation, is assessed at each fatigue solution jump,…
Hybrid Equilibrium Finite Element Formulation for Cohesive Crack Propagation
2019
Equilibrium elements have been developed in hybrid formulation with independent equilibrated stress fields on each element. Traction equilibrium condition, at sides between adjacent elements and at sides of free boundary, is enforced by use of independent displacement laws at each side, assumed as Lagrangian parameters. The displacement degrees of freedom belongs to the element side, where an extrinsic interface can be embedded. The embedded interface is defined by the same stress fields of the hybrid equilibrium element and it does not require any additional degrees of freedom. The extrinsic interface is developed in the consistent thermodynamic framework of damage mechanics with internal …
Virtual Element Method: Micro-Mechanics Applications
2019
In this contribution we present an application of the lowest order Virtual Element Method (VEM) to the problem of material computational homogenization. Material homogenization allows retrieving material properties through suitable volume averaging procedures, starting from a detailed representation of the micro-constituents of the considered material. The representation of such microstructure constitutes a remarkable effort in terms of data/mesh preparation, especially when there is not evident microstructural regularity. For such a reason, computational micromechanics may represent a challenging benchmark for showing the potential of VEM. In this contribution, polycrystalline materials ar…
A Model for Low-Cycle Fatigue in Micro-Structured Materials
2019
A microscale formulation for low-cycle fatigue degradation in heterogeneous materials is presented. The interface traction-separation law is modelled by a cohesive zone model for low-cycle fatigue analysis, which is developed in a consistent thermodynamic framework of elastic-plastic-damage mechanics with internal variables. A specific fatigue activation condition allows to model the material degradation related to the elastic-plastic cyclic loading conditions, with tractions levels lower than the static failure condition. A moving endurance surface, in the classic framework of kinematic hardening, enables a pure elastic behaviour without any fatigue degradation for low levels of cyclic tra…
A Thermodynamically Consistent CZM for Low-Cycle Fatigue Analysis

A cohesive zone model for low-cycle fatigue analysis is developed in a consistent thermodynamic framework of elastic-plastic-damage mechanics with internal variable. A specific fatigue activation condition allows to model the material degradation related to the elastic-plastic cyclic loading conditions, with tractions levels lower than the damage activation condition. A moving endurance surface, in the classic framework of kinematic hardening, enables a pure elastic behavior without any fatigue degradation for low levels loading conditions.
Optimal mass transportation for costs given by Finsler distances via p-Laplacian approximations
2016
Abstract In this paper we approximate a Kantorovich potential and a transport density for the mass transport problem of two measures (with the transport cost given by a Finsler distance), by taking limits, as p goes to infinity, to a family of variational problems of p-Laplacian type. We characterize the Euler–Lagrange equation associated to the variational Kantorovich problem. We also obtain different characterizations of the Kantorovich potentials and a Benamou–Brenier formula for the transport problem.

Evaluation of nano/submicro pores in suspension plasma sprayed YSZ coatings
2019
Abstract Nano-submicro pores could considerably influence the coating performances and thus should be properly designed for the intended applications. However, it is challenging to characterize accurately such small pores in coatings. In this study, YSZ coatings were firstly manufactured by suspension plasma spray (SPS) and the nano-submicro pores in as-prepared coatings were investigated using Ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS). Afterwards, a multivariate analysis on the effect of five different process parameters was carried out. The two main results showed that: 1) the nano-submicro pores content in coatings has a negative correlation with suspension mass load and powder size, an…
