An open-source finite element toolbox for anisotropic creep and irradiation growth: Application to tube and spacer grid assembly
This work presents an open-source interface that couples the viscoplastic self-consistent (VPSC) model capable of simulating anisotropic creep and irradiation growth in polycrystalline materials with the finite element solver Code_Aster. The interface enables the simulation of the micromechanical response of irradiated zirconium alloy components by integrating grain-level constitutive behavior into a structural FEM framework. A key feature is the automated rotation of stress and strain tensors …

Europe on high alert as surprise early heat wave creeps north
Schools were partially shut in France, iconic monuments closed to tourists, and cities across Europe put on high alert as a record-breaking early summer heat wave spread across the continent Tuesday.

half the shit playing on contemporary christian radio channels is the same shit they were playing a decade ago. no exaggeration. i remember running around the living room in our old place in macedonia with these songs playing from the k-love site open on my moms laptop. the same songs im now forced to hear again in the van with my family. its creepy.

Creep failure in heterogeneous materials from the barrier landscape
Stressed under a constant load, materials creep with a final acceleration of deformation and for any given applied stress and material, the creep failure time can strongly vary. We investigate creep on sheets of paper and confront the statistics with a simple fiber bundle model of creep failure in a disordered landscape. In the experiments, acoustic emission event times $t_j$ were recorded, and both this data and simulation event series reveal sample-dependent history effects with log-normal st…

Spatiotemporal hierarchy of thermal avalanches
In amorphous solids, frustrated elastic interactions conspire with thermal noise to trigger anomalously slow sequences of plastic rearrangements, termed "thermal avalanches", which play an important role during creep and glassy relaxations. Here we uncover the complex spatiotemporal structure of thermal avalanches in simulations of a model amorphous solid. We systematically disentangle mechanical and thermal triggering during logarithmic creep, revealing a hierarchy of fast localized cascades l…

Orthotropic Viscoelastic Creep in Cellular Scaffolds
Recent measurements of Norway spruce have revealed stress-state-dependent normalized creep behavior, highlighting a gap in our fundamental understanding. This study examines whether the anisotropic response originates from the micro-structural, cellular nature of composite cell walls with varying tracheid types. Cell wall creep parameters are identified via surrogate-based inverse parameter identification, applied to hierarchical micro-mechanical and FEM models of increasing topological complex…

Trade-Offs in EuBa2Cu3Oy Films containing Artificial Pinning Centers: Higher Critical Currents yet Faster Vortex Creep
The electromagnetic properties of type-II superconductors depend on vortices-magnetic flux lines whose motion introduces dissipation that can be mitigated by pinning from material defects. The material disorder landscape is tuned by the choice of materials growth technique and incorporation of impurities that serve as vortex pinning centers. For example, metal organic deposition (MOD) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD) produce high-quality superconducting films with uncorrelated versus correlate…

Determination of Effect of the Movement of a Finite, Dip-slip Fault in Viscoelastic Half-space of Fractional Burger Rheology
The seismically active regions often correlate with fault lines, and the movement of these faults plays a crucial role in defining how stress is stored or released in these areas. To investigate the deformation and accumulation/release of stress and strain in seismically active regions during the aseismic period, a mathematical model has been developed by considering a finite, creeping dip-slip fault inclined in the viscoelastic half-space of a fractional Burger rheology. Laplace transformation…
