Microscopic time‐dependent mechanical behavior of shale derived from nanoindentation

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study conducted grid nanoindentation creep tests to systematically analyze the microscopic creep behaviors of shale. Based on the analysis of creep strain rate sensitivity, the primary mechanism of microscopic creep in shale was found to be the extension and closure of microcracks.

The Prevention of Eating Disorders in Australian Adolescents: A Modeled Cost‐Effectiveness Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Prevention programs for eating disorders (EDs) have the potential to reduce the onset of these diseases and improve the mental health and well‐being of the general population. However, there is mixed evidence on whether routine implementation of such programs at the population level is cost‐effective.

Alpha, beta and gamma diversity in relatively natural, mixed and transformed landscape scenarios

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Biodiversity losses and biotic homogenisation associated with human‐induced land‐cover changes are key issues for ecology. However, the effects of human‐caused land‐use changes on biodiversity change at the landscape scale are not well understood. Combining the PREDICTS global biodiversity database with MODIS satellite‐based land cover from 2001 to ...

Structural Health Monitoring of a Unidirectional Isolation Bridge: Bidirectional Seismic Behavior, Stochastic Model Updating, and Prediction

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

Theoretical Model of Transient Regression of Thermoplastic Materials During Flame Spread: Vaporization; Permanent Mass Loss; Surface Shape

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines a transient, one‐dimensional model of surface regression during opposed flow flame spread over finite thickness, non‐charring thermoplastics. Gas to solid conductive transfer from the flame drives sample heating. The solid degrades into volatile fuel molecules in two stages: (1) the pre‐vaporization heat‐up stage and (2 ...
