Elastocaloric response of PbTiO3 predicted from a first-principles effective Hamiltonian

Jordan A. Barr, Scott P. Beckman, Takeshi Nishimatsu

A first-principles based effective Hamiltonian is used within a molecular dynamics simulation to study the elastocaloric effect in PbTiO3. It is found that the transition temperatu…

A non-linear damage accumulation fatigue model for predicting strain life at variable amplitude loadings based on constant amplitude fatigue data

S. P. Beckman, P. J. Huffman

A new phenomenological technique for using constant amplitude loading data to predict fatigue life from a variable amplitude strain history is presented. A critical feature of this…

The structure, energy, and electronic states of vacancies in Ge nanocrystals

Kenneth Bayus, O. Paz, S. P. Beckman

The atomic structure, energy of formation, and electronic states of vacancies in H-passivated Ge nanocrystals are studied by density functional theory (DFT) methods. The competitio…
