Network modelling of the influence of swelling on the transport behaviour of bentonite [PDF]
, 2016 Wetting of bentonite is a complex hydro-mechanical process that involves swelling and, if confined, significant structural changes in its void structure.

Intrusion and extrusion of water in hydrophobic nanopores [PDF]
, 2017 Heterogeneous systems composed of hydrophobic nanoporous materials and water are capable, depending on their characteristics, of efficiently dissipating (dampers) or storing ("molecular springs") energy.

Experimental Study on Determining Unsaturated Property of Soil [PDF]
, 1980 This paper deals with the experimental study of hydraulic properties of unsaturated soil. In treating unsaturated zone, a great deal more data are required than are required for the saturated zone, but these properties of soils must be known to apply the

Statistical Damage Model of Altered Granite under Dry-Wet Cycles [PDF]
Symmetry, 2019 This paper presents a new statistical damage constitutive model using symmetric normal distribution. The broken rock microbody obeyed symmetric normal distribution and the equivalent strain principle in damage mechanics. The uniaxial compression tests of samples subjected to dry-wet cycles were performed.
