Experimental Investigation of Moisture Movement During Freeze–Thaw Cycles and Its Effect on Physical Rock Weathering in Low‐Porosity Alpine Limestone

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The progressive weakening of alpine rockwalls through subcritical cracking, driven by repeated low‐magnitude stress processes, plays a key role in alpine rock weathering. Laboratory studies using acoustic emission (AE) monitoring have shown that thermal stresses from freeze–thaw cycling induce crack propagation, with recent work highlighting ...

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Relation of Bulk‐to‐Shear Loss Factors in Viscoelastic Auxetic Metamaterials

open access: yesphysica status solidi (b), EarlyView.
This article examines the dynamic behavior of isotropic auxetic viscoelastic materials, highlighting how negative Poisson's ratios affect energy dissipation, damping, and the interplay between bulk and shear moduli. By extending established viscoelastic theories to the auxetic range, it defines bound limits and underscores how dynamic Poisson's ratio ...

Negative Stiffness Induced and Controlled by Constriction

open access: yesphysica status solidi (b), EarlyView.
Structures with negative stiffness can be stabilized by constriction of external displacement. Furthermore, constriction can make a conventional positive stiffness material exhibit negative stiffness, either bidirectional or unidirectional (shown in the figure).
