At large length scales any material behaviour is described using continuum approaches. Nowadays, when nanotechnology is already capable of producing new materials and devices on submicrometer scale, it has become indispensable to understand possible mechanical instabilities such as nanocrack initiation and the underlying physics at this scale. Brittle fracture through cleavage of crystal...
Thermal conductivity is one of the most important property of nuclear fuel materials affecting many processes such as swelling, grain growth, and fission gas release and limits the transfer of the linear power [1].
However, the measurement of thermal conductivity is difficult even for simple elements like silicon. Loss of heat through convection, conduction, and radiation coexist at the...
One third of energy produced by industrial countries is lost as friction. High wear caused by friction means approx. 35% of industrial production is used to replace degraded products, whilst causing the breakdown of machinery, resulting in safety risks and environmental pollution. Controlling and reducing friction is a fundamental step in attaining the sustainable development of our society,...
In our contribution we describe a service that has been recently developed at IT4Innovations. The service specializes on image rendering and utilizes performance of an HPC cluster for this kind of task. The abbreviated name is R-a-a-S and the meaning is Rendering as a Service.
Probably all data that are processed on a computer sooner or later come to the fact that it is necessary to...
