Dissipation Properties of Transport Noise in the Two-Layer Quasi-geostrophic Model
No full textA stochastic version of the two-layer quasi-geostrophic model (2LQG) with multiplicative transport noise is analysed. This popular intermediate complexity model describes large scale atmosphere and ocean dynamics at the mid-latitudes. The transport noise, which acts on both layers, accounts for the unresolved small scales. After establishing the well-posedness of the perturbed equations, we show that, under a suitable scaling of the noise, the solutions converge to the deterministic 2LQG model with enhanced dissipation. Moreover, these solutions converge to the deterministic stationary ones on the long time horizon

Examples of applications of the peridynamic theory to the solution of static equilibrium problems
No full textPeridynamics is a recently proposed continuum theory based on a non local approach and formulated with integral equations. The theory is suitable for dealing with crack propagation in solid materials. The original peridynamic formulation regarded dynamic problems and was adapted to the static case mainly using a relaxation method by introducing a substantial amount of numerical damping in the time integration. In the present work the implementation of the theory within an implicit code for static crack propagation phenomena based on the Newton-Raphson method is presented and applied to several examples of static crack propagation equilibrium problems. Results obtained with the newly developed procedure are presented for various structural configurations, with different boundary and load conditions and quantitatively compared to published data

Abstract
SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites (SiCf/SiC CMCs) are regarded as the new materials for the hot-section components of aircraft gas turbine engines, since they have one-third of the density of metallic superalloys, a higher temperature capability, good mechanical strength, and excellent thermal shock resistance. However, high-temperature water-vapor-rich combustion gases can induce severe surface recession phenomena in SiC/SiC leading to component failure. For this reason, it is necessary to design protective coatings, i.e., environmental barrier coatings (EBCs), able to protect the SiC/SiC surface in combustion environments. In the present work, ytterbium monosilicate (Yb2SiO5), stable when exposed to water vapor at high temperatures, and ytterbium disilicate (Yb2Si2O7), characterized by a thermal expansion coefficient closer to that of the substrate, were selected for a multilayer EBC system. EBCs were processed using the atmospheric plasma spray (APS) technique. A set of deposition parameters were tested, varying the power of the torch, and the composition and microstructure of the deposited coatings were studied in terms of porosity, crack density, and post-deposition phase retention by performing SEM, EDS, and XRD analysis. The results allow for the definition of the influence of deposition parameters on the final properties of multilayer EBC coatings
