In recent years, recycled aggregate concrete has been used in reinforced concrete structures. Concrete structures exposed to chloride environment often encountera premature deterioration due to corrosion of steel reinforcement. In order to avoid unplanned maintenances or repairs, it is necessary to develop a reliable prediction model for the chloride diffusion in concrete. The basic formulation of the transport theory will be presented first and then its application to Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) will follow. Chloride diffusion in RAC is different from the diffusion in regular concrete, because the material parameters of RAC such as chloride diffusion coefficient are different from those of regular concrete. In this paper, a multi-scale and multi-phase model will be developed to characterize theinternal structure of the recycled aggregate with a layer of residual cement paste on the surface of natural aggregate and another layer of surface treatment material on the surface of the residual cement paste. The multi-scale and multi-phase model will also be used to characterize the chloride diffusion coefficient of RAC. The numerical analysis of the diffusion equations is performed by using finite element method.

Mo-Si-B alloys are one of the most promising candidates to substitute Ni based superalloys in gas turbines. The optimization of their composition can be achieved more effectively using multi-scale modeling of materials behavior and structural analysis of components for understanding, predicting, and screening properties of new alloys. Nevertheless, this approach is dependent on data on the properties of the single phases in these alloys. The focus of this investigation is Mo3Si, one of the phases in typical Mo-Si-B alloys. The effect of 100 h annealing at 1600 °C on phase stability and microhardness of its three near-stoichiometric compositions—Mo-23Si, Mo-24Si and Mo-25Si (at %)—is reported. While Mo-23Si specimen consist only of Mo3Si before and after annealing, Mo-24Si and Mo-25Si comprise Mo5Si3 and Mo3Si before annealing. The latter is then increased by the annealing. No significant difference in microhardness was detected between the different compositions as well as after annealing. The creep properties of Mo3Si are described at 1093 °C and 1300 °C at varying stress levels as well as at 300 MPa and temperatures between 1050 °C and 1350 °C. Three constitutive models were used for regression of experimental results—(i) power law with a constant creep exponent, (ii) stress range dependent law, and (iii) power law with a temperature-dependent creep exponent. It is confirmed that Mo3Si has a higher creep resistance than Moss and multi-phase Mo-Si-B alloys, but a lower creep strength as compared to Mo5SiB2.

Abstract Mrk 231 is the closest radio-quiet quasar known and one of the most luminous infrared galaxies in the local Universe. It is characterised by the co-existence of a radio jet and powerful multi-phase multi-scale outflows, making it an ideal laboratory to study active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. We analyse the multi-epoch very long baseline interferometry data of Mrk 231 and estimate the jet head advance speed to be ≲ 0.013 c, suggesting a sub-relativistic jet flow. The jet position angle changes from −113○ in the inner parsec to −172○ at a projected distance of 25 parsec. The jet structure change might result from either a jet bending following the rotation of the circum-nuclear disc or the projection of a helical jet on the plane of the sky. In the large opening angle (∼60○) cone, the curved jet interacts with the interstellar medium and creates wide-aperture-angle shocks which subsequently dissipate a large portion of the jet power through radiation and contribute to powering the large-scale outflows. The low power and bent structure of the Mrk 231 jet, as well as extensive radiation dissipation, are consistent with the obstruction of the short-length jet by the host galaxy’s environment.
