Nanofilled EPDM composite for aerospace applications

O-rings are designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, creating a seal at the interface. The joint may be static, or (in a few circumstances) may have relative motion betw...

Continuous defects: dislocations and disclinations in finite elasto-plasticity with initial dislocations heterogeneities

Within the constitutive framework of second order plasticity, following [4,5], under the assumptions that the plastic distortion is not compatible, and the plastic connection is not compatible with the plastic distortion...

Spintronic devices based on graphene nanoribbons with transition metal impurities. Towards space applications

Very recent publications draw the attention to a possible revolution that nanotechnology can cause in aviation. The effervescence in the peak field of nanomaterials is remarkable, as evidenced by the number of Nobel priz...

Analytical solutions for the temperature field in a 2D incompressible inviscid flow through a channel with walls of solid fuel

A gas (oxidizer) flows between two parallel walls of solid fuel. A combustion is initiated: the solid fuel is vaporized and a diffusive flame occurs. The hot combustion products are submitted both to thermal diffusion an...
