Effective Elastic Moduli in Solids with High Crack Density [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We investigate the weakening of elastic materials through randomly distributed circles and cracks numerically and compare the results to predictions from homogenization theories.

Frictional shear cracks

open access: yes, 2002
We discuss crack propagation along the interface between two dissimilar materials. The crack edge separates two states of the interface, ``stick'' and ``slip''. In the slip region we assume that the shear stress is proportional to the sliding velocity, i.

On utilization of elliptical rings in assessing cracking tendency of concrete [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A new experimental method by utilizing elliptical rings to replace circular rings recommended by ASTM and AASHTO was explored for assessing cracking potential of concrete and other cement-based materials under restrained condition.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Self-healing in cementitious composite containing bacteria and protective polymers at various temperatures

open access: yesMagazine of Civil Engineering, 2021
Autonomous sealing of cracks in concrete through bacteria-induced calcification has become a topic of great concern in the last two decades. This paper is focused on two main issues of the so-called bio-based self-healing concrete, i.e. protection of the

Stable propagation of an ordered array of cracks during directional drying

open access: yes, 2002
We study the appearance and evolution of an array of parallel cracks in a thin slab of material that is directionally dried, and show that the cracks penetrate the material uniformly if the drying front is sufficiently sharp.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Modeling Lamellar Cracks. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this work, studies of models simulating lamellar cracks were conducted. These cracks are formed in rolled sheets with non-metallic inclusions. Studies of lamellar cracks began in the 1960s, but there is still no satisfactory theory explaining their ...

Finite element analysis of fretting crack propagation

open access: yes, 2011
In this work, the finite elements method (FEM) is used to analyse the growth of fretting cracks. FEM can be favourably used to extract the stress intensity factors in mixed mode, a typical situation for cracks growing in the vicinity of a fretting ...

Homogenization of heat diffusion in a cracked medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We develop in this note a homogenization method to tackle the problem of a diffusion process through a cracked medium. We show that the cracked surface of the domain induces a source term in the homogenized equation.
