This paper presents a new experimental method to measure the strain increment and the strain rate during the bulge of a copper sheet. The electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) is combined with the bulge test to ...

Elastically mediated interactions between surface domains are classically described in terms of point forces. Such point forces lead to local strain divergences that are usually avoided by introducing a poorly defined ...

In this paper we present the development of an open code ("MATFESA") based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) which can be used to estimate the strain and refractive index fields after femtosecond laser writing process by ...

Moire interferometry-a high sensitivity whole-field optical technique-was used to follow the evolution of the deformation process of an aluminium sample subjected to a uniaxial tensile test. This technique allowed us to ...

We show that when graphene is only subject to strain, the spin connection gauge field that arises plays no measurable role, but when intrinsic curvature is present and strain is small, spin connection dictates most of the ...

Nonuniform strain in graphene induces a position dependence of the Fermi velocity, as recently demonstrated by scanning tunnelling spectroscopy experiments. In this work, we study the effects of a position-dependent Fermi ...
