Small, EarlyView.This work identifies a size‐dependent shrinkage effect that arises during polymer pyrolysis and uses it to embed residual stress into tensegrity‐inspired nanoarchitectures. By adjusting the dimensions of the structural elements, controlled prestress can be introduced in a simple and repeatable manner, enabling mechanically tunable nanostructures with ...

The effect of thickness and laying pattern of paver on concrete block pavement [PDF]
, 2006 In concrete block pavements, the blocks make up the wearing surface and are a major load-spreading component of the pavement. Earlier findings were inconsistent with respect to the deflection response of concrete blocks in the pavement.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The accurate prediction of the shear capacity of reinforced concrete underpins the efficient and safe design of concrete buildings and infrastructure. Disagreement remains about shear mechanisms and the modeling of shear resistance. For slender beams without shear reinforcement, critical shear crack (CSC) models have attracted interest.

Educational Theory, EarlyView.Abstract The tendency to silence higher education teachers and students around the globe who express opinions that others regard as wrong is increasing. This lack of interest in listening to, and at times silencing, people with opposing views raises the question of what makes higher education unique and worth protecting.
