Safety barriers are often described as a safety function realized in terms of technical, operational and organizational barrier elements. These elements, in some shape or configuration are established to ensure that the barrier works as intended. While technical and operational barrier elements...
We extend a first principles based hierarchical multi-scale model scheme for describing a fully coherent precipitate in a host lattice to 3D simulations. As our test system, the needle-shaped main hardening Al–Mg–Si alloy precipitate β′′ is chosen. We show that computational costs do not impose...
The electrical and galvanomagnetic properties of zinc oxide films with and without gallium, aluminum, and cobalt doping and of tin-doped indium oxide films are studied over a wide range of temperatures and magnetic fields. It is shown that the mechanism for electron transport in these films changes...
A major feature of public cloud services is that data are processed remotely in unknown systems that the users do not own or operate. This context creates a number of challenges related to data privacy and security and may hinder the adoption of cloud technology. One of these challenges is how to...
In order to reach the goal of a zero emission building (ZEB), CO2 emission data has to be made available and verified for traditional building materials, new ‘state -of-the-art’ building materials and the active elements used to produce renewable energy. However, an initial literature review...
The orientation relations (ORs) of the cubic icosahedral quasicrystal approximant phase α-Al(Fe,Mn)Si have been studied after low temperature annealing of a 3xxx wrought aluminium alloy by transmission electron microscopy. From diffraction studies it was verified that the most commonly observed OR...
