A multiscale constitutive model for intergranular stress corrosion cracking in type 304 austenitic stainless steel
Intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) is a fracture mechanism in sensitised austenitic stainless steels exposed to critical environments where the intergranular cracks extends along the network of connected susceptible grain boundaries. A constitutive model is presented to estimate the maximum intergranular crack growth by taking into consideration the materials mechanical properties and microstructure characters distribution. This constitutive model is constructed based on the assumption that each grain is a two phase material comprising of grain interior and grain boundary zone. The inherent micro-mechanisms active in the grain interior during IGSCC is based on crystal plasticity theory, while the grain boundary zone has been modelled by proposing a phenomenological constitutive model motivated from cohesive zone modelling approach. Overall, response of the representative volume is calculated by volume averaging of individual grain behaviour. Model is assessed by performing rigorous parametric studies, followed by validation and verification of the proposed constitutive model using representative volume element based FE simulations reported in the literature. In the last section, model application is demonstrated using intergranular stress corrosion cracking experiments which shows a good agreement

Zamalodchikov's C-Theorem and The Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory
We consider perturbation of a conformal field theory by a pair of relevant
logarithmic operators and calculate the beta function up to two loops. We
observe that the beta function can not be derived from a potential. Thus the
renormalization group trajectories are not always along decreasing values of
the central charge. However there exists a domain of structure constants in
which the c-theorem still holds.Comment: 10 pages, latex, no figures, some references are added, The role of
coefficients of the OPE in LCFT on the beta-functions are disscuse
Solving the Petri-Nets to Statecharts Transformation Case with UML-RSDS
This paper provides a solution to the Petri-Nets to statecharts case using
UML-RSDS. We show how a highly declarative solution which is confluent and
invertible can be given using this approach.Comment: In Proceedings TTC 2013, arXiv:1311.753
Thermal stability of a special class of black hole solutions in F(R) gravity
In this paper, we work on the topological Lifshitz-like black hole solutions
of a special class of vacuum gravity that are static and spherically
symmetric. We investigate geometric and thermodynamic properties of the
solutions with due respect to the validity of the first law of thermodynamics.
We examine the van der Waals like behavior for asymptotically AdS solutions
with spherical horizon by studying the , and
diagrams and find a consistent result. We also investigate the same behavior
for hyperbolic horizon and interestingly find that the system under study can
experience a phase transition with negative temperature.Comment: 14 pages with 7 captioned figures. Some additional notes are added.
