Using molecular dynamics computer simulations and interatomic potentials derived partly by Voter and Chen1 and Rifkin et al.,2 we studied the surface reconstruction taking place on free surfaces of arrays of RuAl. Surface reconstruction appears to be very important on {111} and {110} types of planes and almost nonexistent on {100} type of planes. Cracks oriented so that their crack planes were either {111} types or {110} types exhibit on their internal free surface important surface reconstruction. It is believed that this effect may have some contribution in the brittle versus ductile behavior of the crack.

The experimental wave paddle signal is unknown to the numerical modellers in many cases. This makes it quite challenging to numerically reproduce the time history of free surface elevation for irregular waves. In the present work, a numerical investigation is performed using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based model to validate and investigate a non-iterative free surface reconstruction technique for irregular waves. In the current approach, the free surface is reconstructed by spectrally composing the irregular wave train as a summation of the harmonic components coupled with the Dirichlet inlet boundary condition. The verification is performed by comparing the numerically reconstructed free surface elevation with theoretical input waves. The applicability of the present approach to generate irregular waves by reconstructing the free surface is investigated for different coastal and marine engineering problems. A numerical analysis is performed to validate the free surface reconstruction approach to generate breaking irregular waves over a submerged bar. The wave amplitudes, wave frequencies and wave phases are modelled with good accuracy in the time-domain during the higher-order energy transfers and complex processes like wave shoaling, wave breaking and wave decomposition. The present approach to generate irregular waves is also employed to model steep irregular waves in deep water. The free surface reconstruction method is able to simulate the irregular free surface profiles in deep water with low root mean square errors and high correlation coefficients. Furthermore, the irregular wave forces on a monopile are investigated in the time-domain. The amplitudes and phases of the force signal under irregular waves generated by using the current technique are modelled accurately in the time-domain. The proposed approach to numerically reproduce the free surface elevation in the time-domain provides promising and accurate results for all the benchmark cases.

ABSTRACTDisordered carbons were synthesized at 700°C from methacrylonitrile-divinylbenzene precursors. The disorder, even at the free surface, was confirmed with TAM. These powdered carbons were subjected to rapid surface heating by a pulsed infrared laser. While the bulk structure remained essentially unchanged, there was substantial surface reconstruction to a depth of 0.25μm after heating (5.9 W average power at 10Hz, 10 ns pulse width, 1064nm wavelength). The surface ordering appears similar to the bulk microstructure of carbons isothermally annealed at 2,200°C (i.e., turbostratic). Improvements were observed in first cycle irreversible loss, rate capability, and coulombic efficiencies of the reconstructed carbons, relative to the untreated carbon.

Gold thin film metallizations in microelectronic circuits have a distinct advantage over those consisting of aluminum because they are less susceptible to electromigration. When electromigration is no longer the principal failure mechanism, other failure mechanisms caused by d.c. stressing might become important. In gold thin-film metallizations, grain boundary grooving is the principal failure mechanism.Previous studies have shown that grain boundary grooving in gold films can be prevented by an indium underlay between the substrate and gold. The beneficial effect of the In/Au composite film is mainly due to roughening of the surface of the gold films, redistribution of indium on the gold films and formation of In2O3 on the free surface and along the grain boundaries of the gold films during air annealing.
