Applicability of Statistical Descriptions of AerMet100 Steel Subjected to Different Triaxial Stress States for Fracture Calculations
Abstract Computational continuum codes can provide many details on the response of metals to explosive loading. However, most “production” level calculations use a homogeneous description of the metal. This is an incorrect representation since...

From granulite fluids to quartz-carbonate megashear zones: The gold rush
Abstract At peak granulite-facies metamorphic conditions, lower continental crust is arguably fluxed by large amounts of two key low water activity fluids: (i) high-density CO2 and/or (ii) concentrated saline solutions. These fluids are either...
