An evolutionary approach to Function

, 2013
Background: Understanding the distinction between function and role is vexing and difficult. While it appears to be useful, in practice this distinction is hard to apply, particularly within biology.

Intrinsic Mechanical Parameters and their Characterization in Solid‐State Lithium Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 11, March 18, 2025.
This review focuses on the intrinsic mechanical parameters and their associated characterization in solid‐state batteries. The physical significance of mechanics parameters is introduced with exhaustive classifications by elastic, plastic deformations and fracture in bulk, adhesion, friction at interfaces, and mechanical fatigue in cells ...

Dynamic properties of micro-NPR material and its controlling effect on surrounding rock mass with impact disturbances

Underground Space
A novel meta steel with negative Poisson’s ratio effect (termed as micro-NPR steel) is developed for rock support in deep underground engineering. It possesses high strength, high ductility, and high energy absorption characteristics.

Neuropathy - gait changes in the diabetic foot [PDF]

, 2008
Motor neuropathy in patients with diabetes can lead to weakness in the muscles of the foot and lower leg, which in turn can lead to characteristic changes to the structure of the foot, such as an altered arch profile.

Study on Cumulative Damage Law of Stainless Steel-Reinforced Concrete Columns under Step Impact Loading

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
In this study, an ultrahigh drop hammer impact test system was adopted for multiple horizontal impact tests on stainless steel-reinforced concrete columns and ordinary-reinforced concrete columns with the same longitudinal reinforcement diameter.

Optimizing intermittent water supply in urban pipe distribution networks

, 2016
In many urban areas of the developing world, piped water is supplied only intermittently, as valves direct water to different parts of the water distribution system at different times.

Modeling and analysis of water-hammer in coaxial pipes

, 2014
The fluid-structure interaction is studied for a system composed of two coaxial pipes in an annular geometry, for both homogeneous isotropic metal pipes and fiber-reinforced (anisotropic) pipes.

Mechanical Behavior of Unsaturated Soils Subjected to Impact Loading

Shock and Vibration, 2016
This paper presents an experimental study on unsaturated soils. A designed test setup was used and the impact loading was applied with a drop hammer. The experimental results show that the soil properties, including water content, density, void ratio ...
