A Phase‐Field Model for Quasi‐Dynamic Rupture Nucleation and Propagation of In‐Plane Faults

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Computational modeling of faulting processes is an essential tool for understanding earthquake mechanics but remains challenging due to the structural and material complexities of fault zones. The phase‐field method has recently enabled unified modeling of fault propagation and off‐fault damage within a fracture‐mechanics‐based framework ...

Modeling the Elastic Recovery of PET Bottles via a Free‐Blowing of Preforms Campaign

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
From free‐blown preforms to mechanical properties. ABSTRACT This study aims to quantify the elastic properties induced by biaxial stretching at different temperatures in order to simulate the complete process including the final elastic recovery. The elastic modulus is identified from geometric measurements obtained during free‐blowing experiments. PET

Moisture Absorption in Highly Porous Closed‐Cell Polymeric Foams

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
The conventional one‐dimensional hindered diffusion model has been extended into a new Void Filling Hindered Diffusion Model. By quantifying the moisture stored within closed‐cell pores, this model successfully captures the distinct absorption behaviors observed across varying foam thicknesses.

Host resistance modulates in planta efficacy of seed‐applied fluxapyroxad against spot form net blotch in barley

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Barley variety influences fluxapyroxad efficacy by affecting distribution and dissipation of the active ingredient, with plant biomass contributing to these differences. Abstract BACKGROUND Seed‐applied fungicides are used to protect barley seedlings from spot form net blotch, caused by Pyrenophora teres f. maculata, among other diseases.

Characterization of a novel R98Q mutation that confers resistance to sulfentrazone in common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) populations from Michigan

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Field‐collected Ambrosia artemisiifolia populations from Michigan, USA, soybean fields exhibited strong resistance to the protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PPO)‐inhibiting herbicide sulfentrazone and reduced sensitivity to fomesafen. Target‐site analysis identified a novel Arg‐98‐Gln (R98Q) substitution in PPO2, co‐occurring with the previously reported ...

Calculation of Clay Permeability Using a Rectangular Particle-Water Film Model by the Double-Scale Asymptotic Expansion Method

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
Permeability of soil plays an important role in geotechnical engineering and is commonly determined by methods combining measurements with theory. Using the double-scale asymptotic expansion method, the Navier-Stokes equation is numerically solved to ...

Wildfire Ash Alters Freshwater Crustacean Behavior: Disentangling the Contributions of Suspended Macroparticles and Ash‐Induced Alkalinization

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and anthropogenic ignitions are intensifying wildfire frequency worldwide, elevating the risk of freshwater contamination by ash. In water, dissolved ash releases ions and other toxic constituents that increase pH and alter physicochemical conditions, while suspended ash particles may impose mechanical stress, disrupt behavior ...

Consistent Choice of Prey Source Habitat Across Diverse Landscapes by a Selective Insectivorous Bat

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
After analyzing the diet of the greater horseshoe bats in three distinct colonies, we identified significant spatial and temporal differences, particularly noting a stronger reliance on riparian habitats in Mediterranean areas. The species exhibits great ecological adaptability with strong plasticity in prey source habitats, shifting preferences among ...

Optimized and Aligned Anisotropic Monte Carlo Sampling Patterns

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Path tracing uses Monte Carlo integration to solve the rendering equation by evaluating the integrand at random sampling points. The convergence rate of the error can be significantly improved by using correlated instead of random sampling, especially on smooth integrands.

Homogenization of some evolution problems in domains with small holes

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2016
This article concerns the asymptotic behavior of the wave and heat equations in periodically perforated domains with small holes and Dirichlet conditions on the boundary of the holes.
