Wet gum labelling of wine bottles [PDF]

, 1996
It is shown that bubbling on wine bottle labels is due to absorption of water from the glue, with subsequent hygroscopic expansion. Contrary to popular belief, most of the glue's water must be lost to the atmosphere rather than to the paper.

Textural evolution and phase transformation in titania membranes: Part 2. - Supported membranes [PDF]

, 1993
Nanostructural evolution and phase transformation in supported and unsupported titania membranes have been studied using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM).

The tensile stress generated in clay through drying

Journal of Agricultural Engineering Research, 1987
A tensile stress is generated in a drying bar of clay that is prevented from shrinking in one direction. Theory predicts that after an initial period of drying the stress is equal to a constant fraction of the equivalent soil—water suction P (as inferred from the water content). The latter stage is independent of the initial water content of the bar.

A laboratory-based test procedure for the investigation of slaking-induced changes in geotechnical properties of tailing dam embankment materials

Heliyon
Slaking is a process of material parameters alteration resulting from wetting-drying cycles, changes in overburden stress, and chemical interactions. Tailings Storage Facilities (TSF) constructed with materials prone to slaking may experience breaches ...

Localized stress percolation through dry masonry walls. Part I – Experiments

European Journal of Mechanics - A/Solids, 2010
Transmission photoelasticity on scale models is shown to disclose the stress distribution within dry masonry walls. This distribution is found to be complicated by unilateral joints between elements, where ‘randomness constrained within a geometrical scheme' of contact points occurs, so that stress percolation results highly localized, evidencing ...

Influence of Mechanical Yielding on Predictions of Saturation: The Saturation Line [PDF]

, 2017
It is now well accepted that the mechanical and the water retention behaviour of a soil under unsaturated conditions are coupled and, that such coupling, should be incorporated into a constitutive model for a realistic representation of soil’s response ...

Multi-physical modeling of climate-driven elasto-plastic deformation, stress redistribution, and water potential in desiccation-cracked soils of arid regions

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
This study presents a multi-physical modeling approach to analyze the dynamics of moisture potential and stress-deformation features near deep desiccation cracks in clayey soils under three consecutive years’ climate variability in an arid region.

Hydromechanical behavior of a quasi-saturated compacted soils on drying-wetting paths-experimental and numerical approaches

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016
This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation funded by the French National Project “Terredurable”, which is devoted to the study of soils in quasi-saturated state. The experimental study is focused on the behavior of compacted soils on

Hygromechanical strains during the drying of Eucalyptus nitens boards

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2016
Collapse and drying stresses are currently induced during the drying of Eucalyptus nitens in solid wood products. The purpose of this study was to investigate these drying stresses by measuring hygromechanical strains during the drying of Eucalyptus ...
