Can Hybrid Organisations Solve the Paradox of the Triple Bottom Line, and Does It Need Solving?
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how B Corp certification enables hybrid organisations to integrate competing institutional logics of market and social purpose. Through a two‐stage qualitative design combining cross‐sector interviews with B Corps and an in‐depth case study, with a total of 30 participants, we analyse how certification supports hybrid ...

Strain‐based modeling and analysis for rock blasting and geomechanics applications
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This paper introduces a novel strain‐based modeling approach for blasting and geomechanical applications, using measurable variables like particle velocity, strain, and displacement. By bypassing complex constitutive relations, strain‐based models capture critical blasting trends and full‐blast design parameters with minimal calibration.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The effects of grout strength and thickness on the shear behavior of bolt–grout interfaces (BGI) under constant normal stiffness conditions are investigated. Shear strength, failure modes, and acoustic emission characteristics are examined. The findings reveal that grout strength exerts a significantly greater influence on BGI shear strength and ...
