• Fracture of refractories at room and elevated temperatures analyzed with wedge splitting tests and image correlation 

      Maginador, Rafael Vargas (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência e Engenharia de Materiais - PPGCEM, Câmpus São Carlos, 20/02/2024)
      Industrial high-temperature processes relies on castable refractories, whose formulation and characterization become crucial for minimizing energy loss and costs. Increasing the failure predictability is key to reducing ...
    • On the thermomechanical behavior of model composites using digital image correlation 

      Zago, Igor Paganotto (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência e Engenharia de Materiais - PPGCEM, Câmpus São Carlos, 28/07/2024)
      In composite systems with incompatibility between the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of their phases, stresses can lead to cracking of the material during a temperature variation. Analytical, numerical and ...
