From the stress response function (back) to the sand pile “dip” [PDF]

The European Physical Journal E, 2005
We relate the pressure `dip' observed at the bottom of a sandpile prepared by successive avalanches to the stress profile obtained on sheared granular layers in response to a localized vertical overload. We show that, within a simple anisotropic elastic analysis, the skewness and the tilt of the response profile caused by shearing provide a qualitative

Kinematic and isotropic strain hardening in copper with highly aligned nanoscale twins

Materials Research Letters, 2018
The kinematic and isotropic strain hardening was investigated in columnar-grained copper with preferentially oriented nanoscale twins deformed at two different strain rates of 5 × 10−5 and 5 × 10−3 s−1.

Working Memory Alterations After a Romantic Relationship Breakup

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
Experiencing stress can have a disadvantageous effect on mental well-being. Additional to the relation between suffering from chronic stress and depression, both stress (acute and chronic) and depression are associated with cognitive alterations ...

Grain Size Effect on the Mechanical Behavior of Metastable Fe-23Cr-8.5Ni Alloy

Metals, 2019
An Fe-23Cr-8.5Ni alloy was used as a model material to study the grain size effect on the mechanical behavior of metastable duplex metal. Alloy samples with different grain sizes ranging from 0.1 to 2 μm were prepared by cold-rolling and annealing ...

Upper and lower musculoskeletal back pain, stress, physical activity, and organisational work support: An exploratory study of police investigative interviewers

Health Psychology Open, 2022
Police investigative interviewers in special victims’ units have particularly stressing work conditions. Being few in numbers, with highly specialised competence, the health and well-being of this workgroup are key.

Prevalence of lower back pain and its relation to stress among medical students in Taif University, Saudi Arabia

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2020
Background: Lower back pain (LBP) refers to pain in the back between the last rib and the gluteal fold. Recent psychological research indicates a relevant connection between severe pain and emotional stress.

Positivity of Entropy in the Semi-Classical Theory of Black Holes and Radiation [PDF]

, 1993
Quantum stress-energy tensors of fields renormalized on a Schwarzschild background violate the classical energy conditions near the black hole. Nevertheless, the associated equilibrium thermodynamical entropy $\Delta S$ by which such fields augment the ...

Additional hardening in harmonic structured materials by strain partitioning and back stress

Materials Research Letters, 2018
Deformation behavior of a harmonic structured material (HSM), core–shell 304L stainless steel, is investigated using micro-digital image correlation (micro-DIC). High strain-partitioning between core and shell is observed.
