Shear Strength and Durability of Expansive Soil Treated with Recycled Gypsum and Rice Husk Ash
Applied SciencesExpansive soil underlying structures pose a significant risk to the integrity of superstructures. Chemical soil stabilization can be used to strengthen soils due to the cost and impracticality of mechanical approaches.

Acoustic fluidization for earthquakes?
, 2000 Melosh [1996] has suggested that acoustic fluidization could provide an alternative to theories that are invoked as explanations for why some crustal faults appear to be weak.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study presents large deformation computational methods to simulate lateral vehicular impacts on steel piles in granular soil. Soil‐mounted longitudinal barrier systems rely on energy dissipation in both the piles and the surrounding soil to safely redirect errant vehicles, so dynamic pile‐soil interaction is important for design ...

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Policy robustness, that is, the capacity of policies to sustain performance across diverse and uncertain futures, is increasingly considered a core objective of public policymaking. Although adaptive policymaking is widely promoted as an approach to achieving policy robustness, it suffers from a central paradox highlighted by theories of the ...

The performance and prediction ability of advanced approach to ductile fracture [PDF]
, 2017 The present paper deals with the modelling of ductile fracture which is the result of severe plastic deformation under monotonic loading. It can be the result of a crash or accident or introduced intentionally. There is a need of increasing the safety in

Exploring biofiber properties and their influence on biocomposite tensile properties
Polymer International, EarlyView.The study measured the physical, flow and chemical properties of 10 biofibers. It characterized the tensile properties of derived biocomposites and linked them using regression models, showing robust predictive performance. Abstract Biofibers serve as effective reinforcements for neat polylactic acid (PLA) in biocomposites, offering an attractive ...

Evaluation of the Use of a Semi-hyperbolic Die for Measuring Elongational Viscosity of Polymer Melts
Applied Rheology, 2010 The semi-hyperbolic (SHPB) die with and possibly without wall lubrication has been proposed as a device for measuring the elongational viscosity of polymeric fluids.

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.A low‐speed impact (around one meter per second) of a metallic tip on an explosive confined by a thin plate is simulated. The heat due to friction between the tip and the plate and the one due to the deformation of the plate are not transfered to the ignited zone.

Anticlastic Curvature and Material Freedom
physica status solidi (b), EarlyView.Anticlastic curvature occurs in bent bars for positive Poisson's ratio; synclastic curvature occurs for negative Poisson's ratio provided the material is homogeneous and elastic. Some planar negative Poisson's ratio materials exhibit anticlastic saddle curvature rather than convex curvature in bending due to effects of 3D structure.
