..., is employed to investigate the size effect of elliptical inclusions with different aspect ratios based on unit cell simulations. It is shown that by decreasing the particle size or equivalently the interparticle spacing (i.e., the spacing between the centers of inclusions), while keeping the volume fraction...

... that generated by crazing, and (iii) decreasing particles size causes an increase of void density. We also estimated the void shape factor, that is, ratio between the height and the width of the cavities. In all the studied materials, this parameter starts from a value that is below 1 and increases by a factor...

..., it is clarified that the onset of cavitation is predominant in the localized microscopic region containing heterogeneous particles and therefore, the plastic deformation is promoted in this region. 27 07 2007 17 12 2007 19 03 2008 cavitation particle size plastic deformation polymer...

.../plaster FGMs are used as a model system, and the effects of the same parameters are investigated. Results. It was found that an increase in initial volume fraction and particle size leads to steeper gradients of volume fraction and orientation distributions within the Al - Al 3 Ti FGMs. The results...

... and dissolution of WC are temperature, particle size, potential, and pH related Potentiostatic tests were conducted with the primary aim of determining the “critical” corrosion initiation temperature for the coatings. The potential was held constant in the anodic regime of the coating (at 0.0, 0.3, 0.5...

... is dependent not only on the particle volume fraction but also on the particle size. It has been found that the material length scale in the strain gradient plasticity is dependent on the particle volume fraction, or in other words, on the relative ratio of the particle spacing to the particle size. The strain...
