Damage effects in Pyrex by CF4 reactive ion etching in dual RF-microwave plasmas (2006)
Journal Article
Zeze, D., Carey, J., Stolojan, V., Weiss, B., & Silva, S. (2006). Damage effects in Pyrex by CF4 reactive ion etching in dual RF-microwave plasmas. Micro and Nano Letters, https://doi.org/10.1049/mnl%3A20065059

The bonding disruption and thermal damage induced on Pyrex substrates during the reactive ion etching in CF4/Ar and CF4/O2 dual RF-microwave plasmas is reported. Energy dispersive x-ray and scanning probe analyses indicate that metallic impurities ag... Read More about Damage effects in Pyrex by CF4 reactive ion etching in dual RF-microwave plasmas.

Fatigue growth modelling of three-dimensional cracks with the Extended Isogeometric Boundary Element Method (2025)
Journal Article
Rocha, M., Trevelyan, J., & Leonel, E. D. (in press). Fatigue growth modelling of three-dimensional cracks with the Extended Isogeometric Boundary Element Method. Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements,

This paper proposes the fatigue crack growth modelling of three-dimensional geometries with the eXtended Isogeometric Boundary Element Method (XIGABEM). The formulation combines the advantages of the dual Boundary Element Method (BEM), the isogeometr...
