Study on the thermal damage evolution law of granite considering mesoscopic fabric characteristics

Frontiers in Earth Science
IntroductionThe intrinsic fabric heterogeneity of granite gives rise to the inherently scattered nature of its thermal damage behavior. Therefore, accurately evaluating thermal damage in granite is essential for engineering safety.MethodsThis study ...

Evaluation of the intrinsic crack growth rates of weld joints [PDF]

, 2011
A method is presented for evaluating weld intrinsic fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) by excluding the influence of residual stresses. The method is potentially useful for predicting crack growth lives of structural components using measured FCGR data ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Crack mechanisms in concrete – from micro to macro scale

Budownictwo i Architektura, 2020
The paper discusses a fictitious crack model of concrete in tension proposed by Hillerborg. This model presents a concept that illustrates the mechanism of crack initiation and its propagation in concrete on meso-level.

Study on Cynodon dactylon root system affecting dry–wet cracking behavior and shear strength characteristics of expansive soil

Scientific Reports, 2023
Expansive soil exhibits remarkable characteristics of water absorption expansion and water loss shrinkage, rendering it susceptible to cracking under the alternating dry–wet environments of nature.

Influence of woven ply degradation on fatigue crack growth in thin notched composites under tensile loading [PDF]

, 2010
This paper deals with the fatigue of the through the-thickness crack propagation in thin notched composite laminates made of two glass woven plies. It highlights the different crack growths between warp and weft directions of the woven ply.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
