Modeling and Simulation in Strain-Induced Phase Transformations in a Diamond Anvil Cell
I was honestly super confused during this whole presentation. What I understood was that the speaker was testing the strain and yield strength of plastics-strain-enhanced reactions in rocks. They would use diamond anvil cells to create high amounts of pressure by having one on each side of the plastic. I understood the diamond anvil cell as an extremely hard anvil. I understood the testing to be difficult to interpret because they had to look at the nano-indentation. I kind of thought this presentation was cool due to how advanced the technicalities of this presentation were. It showed me how advanced engineering can be, and how there is always more to look into. It was almost a little overwhelming how advanced the material was, and I don't know how I would ever be using these concepts, but there is potential I suppose.
