1. Modelling and simulation of plastic deformation on small scales : interface conditions and size effects of thin films
Abstract : Contrary to elastic deformation, plastic deformation of crystalline materials, such as metals, is size-dependent. Most commonly, this phenomenon is present but unnoticed, such as the effect of microstructural length scales. READ MORE

3. Mechanical Characterisation of Coatings and Composites-Depth-Sensing Indentation and Finite Element Modelling
Abstract : In the past two decades depth-sensing indentation has becomea widely used technique to measure the mechanical properties ofmaterials. This technique is particularly suitable for thecharacterisation of materials at sub-micro or nano scale thoughthere is a tendency to extend its application to the micro ormacro scale. READ MORE

4. Spherical Indentation Technique for Multiscale Characterisation of Asphalt Mixtures
Abstract : The viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures strongly influence the performance of flexible pavements with respect to their resistance to several common distress modes. Therefore, accurate measurement of these properties and their change during the service life is an important area of ongoing research. READ MORE

5. New Experimental and Modelling Tools for Multiscale Characterization of Asphalt Mastic
Abstract : Asphalt mastics act as a binding phase in asphalt mixtures and their rheological properties strongly affect the performance of asphalt mixtures with respect to virtually all damage modes. In order to measure mastics properties, relevant for field performance, testing should be performed at size-scales representative for the morphology and material inhomogeneity of asphalt mixtures.
