Investigating the liquefaction resistance and initial shear modulus of silty sands from equivalent intergranular void ratio concept

Soils and Foundations
Multiple series of laboratory undrained cyclic triaxial tests and bender element tests are conducted to obtain pairing data for Rl and Go for laboratory reconstituted samples of silty sands.

ANISOTROPIC STRESS-STRAIN BEHAVIOR AT SMALL STRAINS OF CLAY BY TRIAXIAL AND BENDER ELEMENT TESTS [PDF]

, 2006
In this study, to examine the effect of the fabric anisotropy on elastic moduli (shear and Young's moduli), the bender element, cyclic and monotonic triaxial tests were performed on reconstituted clay specimens with different fabric characteristics.

Estimation of Small-Strain Shear Modulus of Embankment Soils Before Construction Using Bender Elements in Compaction Test

, 2017
Design of railway track and highways on embankments with compacted fills often needs the value of small-strain shear modulus of the fill soil to be known before construction.

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Measuring shear and compression wave velocities of soil using bender-extender elements

, 2009
Piezoceramic elements have been used for laboratory measurement of wave velocity in soil and rock specimens. Shear-wave piezoceramic elements (bender elements) are commonly used to measure shear wave velocity for the determination of small-strain shear ...

From Food to Power: Hydrogel Thermoelectrics for Ingestible Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a fully edible thermoelectric–electrochromic platform that harvests heat from food and converts it into a visible color change. N‐type and p‐type hydrogel thermoelectric generators connected in series power anthocyanin‐based electrochromic displays, demonstrating the feasibility of safe, biodegradable, ingestible systems for on‐food ...

Role of Intrinsic Electron Trapping in Negative Charging of Amorphous Alumina

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Intrinsic electron trapping in amorphous Al2O3 is examined using hybrid‐DFT models spanning a wide density range. Both spontaneous and thermally activated trapping are identified, with pronounced spontaneous localization in dense, partly crystallized structures.

Closure to “Discussion of \u27measurement of Stiffness Anisotropy in Kaolinite using Bender Element Tests in a Floating Wall Consolidometer\u27 by X. Kang, G.-C. Kang, and B. Bate” by Coffman, Salazar and Zhao

, 2016
The authors appreciate the interest of the discussers in this paper. The main arguments of the discussers were: (1) comparing the back-pressure saturated, constant-rate-of-strain consolidation device that incorporated bender elements (BP-CRS-BE device ...

Mechanical Behavior and Fracture Mechanisms of MXene/PVDF Nanocomponsites: In Situ Characterization and Multiscale Analysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multiscale experiments and modeling reveal how Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets reinforce PVDF nanocomposites. An optimal MXene loading (∼1 wt.%) nearly doubles tensile strength through efficient stress transfer, flake alignment, and crack‐deflection mechanisms, transforming ductile polymer behavior into a controlled multi‐stage fracture pathway which aligns ...

Determination of setting times by shear wave velocity evolution in fresh mortar using bender element method

, 2015
This study aims at using modified bender element (BE) method to monitor the shear wave velocity (Vs) of mortar at early-age and determine initial and final setting times with the Vs method.
