• Modelling of environmental ageing of polymers and polymer composites—durability prediction methods 

      Starkova, Olesja; Gagani, Abedin; Karl, Christian; Rocha, Iuri B. C. M.; Burlakovs, Juris; Krauklis, Andrejs (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Polymers and polymer composites are negatively impacted by environmental ageing, reducing their service lifetimes. The uncertainty of the material interaction with the environment compromises their superior strength and ...
    • Modelling of Environmental Ageing of Polymers and Polymer Composites—Modular and Multiscale Methods 

      Krauklis, Andrey; Karl, Christian; Rocha, Iuri B. C. M.; Burlakovs, Juris; Ozola-Davidane, Ruta; Gagani, Abedin; Starkova, Olesja (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Service lifetimes of polymers and polymer composites are impacted by environmental ageing. The validation of new composites and their environmental durability involves costly testing programs, thus calling for more affordable ...
    • Quantifying the grain boundary segregation strengthening induced by post-ECAP aging in an Al-5Cu alloy 

      Jia, Hailong; Bjørge, Ruben; Cao, Lingfei; Hui, Song; Marthinsen, Knut; Li, Yanjun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Hardening on annealing (HOA) has been frequently observed in nanostructured metals and alloys. For nanostructured materials obtained by severe plastic deformation (SPD), HOA has been attributed to the reduction of dislocation ...
    • The unique hybrid precipitate in a peak-aged Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy 

      Gazizov, Marat; Boev, A.O.; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Holmestad, Randi; Kaibyshev, Rustam; Aksyonov, D.A.; Krasnikov, V.S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The prevalent hardening phase forming in an Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy after peak-aging at 150 and 190 °C has been investigated using transmission electron microscopy methods. The precipitate atomic structure was determined. It is ...
