Unified constitutive modeling for hot tensile behavior of TC4 alloy with and without diffusion bonding joint by Zhongman Cai, Yong Li, Yanqiang Xu, Jiarui Chen, Xiaoxing Li, Guanglu Ma, Dongsheng Li

“…Based on the experimental results, a new unified constitutive model considering the weld-dependent fracture coefficients and internal variables is developed, which can accurately predict the hot deformation and fracture behavior of TC4 with and without DB, describing the influence behavior of DB interface on hot deformation, as well as the evolutions of internal variables, including dislocation density, reserve fraction, DRX fraction and damage. …”

Effect of Shear Displacement on the Directivity of Permeability in 3D Self-Affine Fractal Fractures by Richeng Liu, Na Huang, Yujing Jiang, Hongwen Jing, Bo Li, Yuxuan Xia

“…Fluid flow through the fracture is simulated using the COMSOL Multiphysics code based on the finite element method (FEM) by changing the angle between the shear direction and macroscopic flow direction. The evolutions of the aperture distribution and flow paths with changes in shear displacement are investigated, and the change in the equivalent permeability is evaluated. …”

Child Abandonment in 19th Century Lisbon: The Provenance and Distribution of Foundlings Through a GIS Lens by Joana Vieira Paulino

“…To produce a spatial and visual representation of this distribution and coverage to address the research questions, this analysis relies on the SCML quantitative reports and on SIGMA, a GIS-database designed to depict the evolutions in Portuguese administrative divisions. We conclude that most foundlings came from Lisbon and, in later years, from those Lisbon parishes hosting the popular and working classes, and later preferably distributed to wet nurses living in the countryside, thereby achieving the institution’s goals. …”
