Mechanical constitutive models of metals undergoing deformation in three dimensions can be challenging to validate without loss of generality. For example, creep-induced stress relaxation in stainless steels has previously been studied using axisymmetric notched-bar tests which control the triaxiality of the initial stress state. However, such expe…

In this paper we investigate the residual deformation field in the vicinity of nano-scratch experiments generated using two tip geometries in a (100) Cu single crystal. We compare the deformation with that from indentation, in an attempt to understand the mechanisms of deformation in tangential sliding. The lattice rotation fields are mapped experi…

Typically applied to non-linear simulations of MHD instabilities relevant to magnetically confined fusion, the JOREK code was originally developed with a 2D grid composed of isoparametric bi-cubic Bezier finite elements, that are aligned to the magnetic equilibrium of tokamak plasmas. To improve the applicability of these simulations, the grid-gene…

It has been long hypothesized that the structure of a material bombarded by energetic particles might approach a certain asymptotic steady state in the limit of high exposure to irradiation. There is still no de nitive verdict regarding the validity of this hypothesis or the conditions where it applies. To clarify this, we explore a highly simpl…

Martensitic stainless steels have been widely used in industries due to their high strength and good corrosion resistance performance. Precipitation-hardened (PH) martensitic stainless steels are featured by their very high strength compared with other stainless steels, around 3-4 times of the strength of austenitic stainless steels such as 304 and…

Supramolecular chemistry offers an exciting opportunity to assemble materials with molecular precision. However, there remains an unmet need to turn molecular self-assembly into functional materials and devices. Harnessing the inherent properties of both disordered proteins and graphene oxide (GO), we report a disordered protein-GO co-assembling sy…

The DEMO remote maintenance system (RMS) will have a significant role in keeping the power plant operational, and therefore, would have a large impact on its economic feasibility. The identification of impending mechanical failures of the RMS equipment during active maintenance operations is crucial if unscheduled and or unplanned recovery and resc…

In this work the mechanisms that can lead to disruptive MHD instabilities in the termination phase of plasma pulses on JET are investigated. It is shown that the broadening or the shrinking of the current density profile, as a consequence of a core hollowing or a e…

The findings of an investigation into the properties of the three dimensional (3D) saturated fluctuation intensity of the electric potential in gyrokinetic turbulence simulations is presented. Scans in flux surface elongation and Shafranov shift are used to isolate the tokamak geometric dependencies. The potential intensity required in order to com…
