Refinement of a Deflection Basin Area Index Method for Rigid Pavement by Jin Zhang, Qiuzhen Lv, Wei Shi, Guangsheng Li, Jiafeng Zhang

“…It is found that, apart from densifying the distal sensor layouts locally, replacing the deflection value of a specific point with the average of all measured points in the deflection basin area index was also an effective measure to improve the back-calculation accuracy of pavement structural parameters up to 40%. Finally, a new deflection basin area index method was proposed based on the deflection database with the regression analysis. …”

Intragranular strain and mosaicity in Cu thin films during fast thermomechanical fatigue by T. Ziegelwanger, M. Reisinger, M. Petersmann, S. Van Petegem, R. Rodriguez-Lamas, J. Todt, M. Meindlhumer, J. Keckes, C. Yildirim

“…The observed grains exhibited a pronounced tendency to develop low-angle grain boundaries, which interacted with high-angle boundaries and led to constrictions in the grain shape. Structural inhomogeneities exhibited localized alternating tensile and compressive 2nd-order strains, connecting them to strain localization and deterioration of electric properties.…”
