Liquid metal embrittlement cracking in dissimilar resistance spot welding of 3rd Gen – Advanced high strength steel: mitigation methods and associated mechanisms
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-19)In response to the automotive industries demands for safer, lighter, and more environmentally friendly vehicles, the third generation of advanced high-strength steels (3G-AHSS) has been developed to have both high strength ... -
Liquid Metal Embrittlement in Resistance Spot Welding: The Thermomechanical Origin and Embrittler Transport Mechanism
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-05)To increase fuel economy, demand for lighter vehicles by way of thinner parts has risen in recent years. As parts become thinner the vehicle safety cannot be comprised, leading to the development of advanced high strength ... -
Liquid Monumentality: A Search for Meaning
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-02)Contemporary architecture suffers from an acute malaise: it has lost its sense of meaning, and in turn, its sense of significance. In our world of economy and utility—the liquid world—architecture can only allude to a ... -

List Coloring Some Classes of 1-Planar Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-23)In list coloring we are given a graph G and a list assignment for G which assigns to each vertex of G a list of possible colors. We wish to find a coloring of the vertices of G such that each vertex uses a color from its ... -
List colouring hypergraphs and extremal results for acyclic graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-21)We study several extremal problems in graphs and hypergraphs. The first one is on list-colouring hypergraphs, which is a generalization of the ordinary colouring of hypergraphs. We discuss two methods for determining the ... -
