Strain localization in the Alloy 718 Ni-based superalloy: From room temperature to 650 °C

This study investigates how a nickel-based superalloy deforms at different temperatures using high-resolution imaging techniques. The paper is not related to microplastics or human health. It focuses on the mechanical behavior of metal alloys used in engineering applications, examining how strain localizes in the material's internal structure at temperatures up to 650 degrees Celsius.

Slip localization and grain boundary sliding analysis at sub-voxel resolution using phase contrast tomography

Researchers used phase contrast tomography and laser confocal microscopy to analyze microplasticity events—slip, twinning, grain boundary sliding—on the surface of a nickel-based superalloy at room temperature and 650°C. Despite slip amplitudes smaller than the imaging voxel size, the technique successfully resolved out-of-plane kinematics, demonstrating its value for studying sub-voxel deformation.

Fatigue properties of as-built and heat-treated Inconel 625 obtained by the hybridization of two laser-powder based additive processes

Fracture Behavior of RT-PMMA Under Impact Loading

This study investigated crack arrest behavior in polymethyl methacrylate under high-speed impact loading using gas launcher tests. Results characterize how crack propagation and arrest dynamics in this polymer relate to loading rate and specimen geometry.
