• Analysis of crack propagation in the wedge splitting test via digital image correlation and finite element analyses 

      Maginador, Rafael Vargas (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência e Engenharia de Materiais - PPGCEM, Câmpus São Carlos, 19/02/2019)
      Castable refractories are applied in dangerous environments in which it is unpractical to avoid crack initiation. Therefore, their microstructure is usually complex in order to hinder crack propagation by toughening ...
    • Simulação computacional em escala microestrutural de compósitos cerâmicos 

      Luchini, Bruno (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência e Engenharia de Materiais - PPGCEM, Câmpus São Carlos, 13/02/2017)
      The study of ceramic composites assisted by computer simulation is well spread nowadays. It is an interest of the ceramic industry the development of materials models trustfully enough to reduce cost with prototypes and ...
