Fuzzy stochastic damage mechanics (FSDM) based on fuzzy auto-adaptive control theory

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2012
In order to fully interpret and describe damage mechanics, the origin and development of fuzzy stochastic damage mechanics were introduced based on the analysis of the harmony of damage, probability, and fuzzy membership in the interval of [0,1].

A Nonlinear Creep-damage Constitutive Model of Mudstone Based on the Fractional Calculus Theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Science and Technology, 2017
During the flood development in an oil field, the creep characteristic of mudstone is one of the important factors causing casing damage. In this study, based on the theory of fractional order differential and taking into account the creep damage ...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Ballistic Resistance of Polyurea-Coated Aluminum Plates under Projectile Impacts

open access: yesCrystals, 2023
The effects of the spraying thickness and the position on the response of aluminum plates under impact loading were studied. The impact tests and numerical simulation were conducted for the penetration process of polyurea-coated 2024 aluminum plates with

Phenomenological modeling of strain hardening, phase transformation and damage effects of trip-steels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this study, the constitutive modeling of loading state dependent strain hardening and martensite evolution of high alloyed TRIP-steels are addressed, which are experimentally observed comparing uni-axial tension and compression test results ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Modeling microdefects closure effect with isotropic/anisotropic damage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
International audienceContinuum damage mechanics (CDM) for metals is often written in terms of an isotropic (scalar) damage. In this case, solutions have been proposed to represent the differences of behavior in tension and in compression also called ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Statistical mechanics of damage phenomena

open access: yes, 2008
This paper applies the formalism of classical, Gibbs-Boltzmann statistical mechanics to the phenomenon of non-thermal damage. As an example, a non-thermal fiber-bundle model with the global uniform (meanfield) load sharing is considered.

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 ...

3D Numerical Solution for Natural Fracture Distribution in Tight-Sand Reservoirs Based on Damage Mechanics with Sets of 2D Seismic Data

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Natural fracture development in tight-sand gas reservoirs is strongly controlled by tectonic evolution yet remains difficult to characterize using conventional seismic interpretation due to limited resolution. This study presents a damage-mechanics-based
