Liquefaction potential of sand with fines using Bender element test

open access: yes, 2020
This study aims to evaluate the maximum dynamic shear modulus (Gmax) based liquefaction potentials of sand with various fines using bender element test. The fines (CL) was added to two different particle gradations (0.15-0.30 mm and 1.0-2.0 mm) of clean sand having distinct shapes (rounded and angular) at mixture ratio of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30% and 40%.

Temperature‐Modulated Threshold Response in a Volatile Memristor: Toward a Biomimetic Polymodal Nociceptive System

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates an artificial polymodal nociceptor whose firing threshold is actively modulated by temperature. A volatile TiN/TiOx/ZnO/TiOx/ITO memristor shows interfacial ion–driven resistive switching and membrane‐potential‐like dynamics, enabling temperature‐dependent nociceptive behavior.

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

Actuating and Sensing Composites of Liquid Crystal Elastomers and Poly(ionic liquid)s

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic conductive, mechanically tough, flexible, and stretchable filaments of a composite material comprising a liquid crystal elastomer and a poly(ionic liquid) are produced through 3D printing, which exhibit large actuation strain under stimulation and electrical resistance variation in response to deformation or environmental condition changes. Their

On Determination of Gmax by Bender Element and Cross-Hole Testing

open access: yes, 2014
The small-strain shear modulus, Gmax, is an important parameter in geodynamic problems and for advanced modelling. Gmax is influenced by several factors, which complicates the assessment and interpretation of test results. Due to sample disturbance, values measured in the laboratory may be lower than in the field. The use of Gmax as a measure of sample
