Evolution of residual stress at a fatigue crack tip and its influence on crack tip shielding and plasticity

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology
The evolution of residual stresses (RS) at a crack tip and associated changes in crack shielding effects during fatigue crack growth (FCG) has a first order effect on the fatigue life of welded joints.

An investigation of the beneficial effects of adding carbon nanotubes to standard injection grout [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Mortar grouting is often used in masonry constructions to mitigate structural decay and repair damage by filling cracks and voids, resulting in an improvement in mechanical properties.

Shear critical R/C columns under increasing axial load [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Structural elements in old reinforced concrete (R/C) frame buildings are often prone to shear or flexure-shear failure, which can eventually lead to loss of axial load capacity of vertical elements and initiate vertical progressive collapse of a building.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Determination of fracture parameters for interface cracks in transverse isotropic magnetoelectroelastic composites

open access: yesCurved and Layered Structures, 2015
To determine fracture parameters of interfacial cracks in transverse isotropic magnetoelectroelastic composites, a displacement extrapolation formula was derived.

Adenosine‐to‐inosine editing of miR‐200b‐3p is associated with the progression of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
A‐to‐I editing of miRNAs, particularly miR‐200b‐3p, contributes to HGSOC progression by enhancing cancer cell proliferation, migration and 3D growth. The edited form is linked to poorer patient survival and the identification of novel molecular targets.

Plasticity and the crack opening displacement in shells [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Fracture Mechanics, 1972
The plastic deformations and the crack opening displacement, δ, in cylindrical shells with an axial or circumferential crack and spherical shells with a meridional crack are considered. It is assumed that outside the perturbation zone of the crack the shell is subjected to uniform membrane loads perpendicular to the crack.

FPZ evolution of mixed mode fracture in concrete: Experimental and numerical [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Digital image correlation (DIC) technique is applied to study the evolution of fracture process zone (FPZ) of mixed mode fracture in concrete. By testing a series of beams of various sizes under four-point shearing, the opening and sliding displacements ...

Modeling hepatic fibrosis in TP53 knockout iPSC‐derived human liver organoids

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study developed iPSC‐derived human liver organoids with TP53 gene knockout to model human liver fibrosis. These organoids showed elevated myofibroblast activation, early disease markers, and advanced fibrotic hallmarks. The use of profibrotic differentiation medium further amplified the fibrotic signature seen in the organoids.
