Topological Control on Silicates Dissolution Kinetics
Isabella Pignatelli, Aditya Kumar, Mathieu Bauchy +1
Like many others, silicate solids dissolve when placed in contact with water. In a given aqueous environment, the dissolution rate depends highly on the composition and the structu…
Does a dissolution-precipitation mechanism explain concrete creep in moist environments?
Isabella Pignatelli, Aditya Kumar, Rouhollah Alizadeh +3
Long-term creep (i.e., deformation under sustained load) is a significant material response that needs to be accounted for in concrete structural design. However, the nature and or…
Topological Constraints and Rigidity of Network Glasses from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Mathieu Bauchy
Due to its non-crystalline nature, the glassy state has remained one the most exciting scientific challenges. To study such materials, Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations have been…
Is Cement a Glassy Material?
Mathieu Bauchy, Mohammad Javad Abdolhosseini Qomi, Franz-Joseph Ulm +1
The nature of Calcium--Silicate--Hydrate (C--S--H), the binding phase of cement, remains a controversial question. In particular, contrary to the former crystalline model, it was r…
Fracture Toughness of Silicate Glasses: Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Yingtian Yu, Bu Wang, Young Jea Lee +1
Understanding, predicting and eventually improving the resistance to fracture of silicate materials is of primary importance to design new glasses that would be tougher, while reta…
Creep of Bulk C--S--H: Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Mathieu Bauchy, Enrico Masoero, Franz-Joseph Ulm +1
Understanding the physical origin of creep in calcium--silicate--hydrate (C--S--H) is of primary importance, both for fundamental and practical interest. Here, we present a new met…
