Fractal Modelling of Kinked Cracks and its Implications for their Fatigue Propagation in Concrete

open access: yes, 2006
Threshold condition and rate of fatigue crack growth appear to be significantly affected by the degree of deflection of cracks. In this paper, the reduction of the fatigue crack growth rate for a so-called ‘periodically-kinked crack’ as compared to that

Membrane lipid metabolism as a regulatory frontier in neural crest biology: Roles for sphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid rafts

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...

Micromechanics of creep fracture: simulation of intergranular crack growth [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A computational model is presented to analyze intergranular creep crack growth in a polycrystalline aggregate in a discrete manner and based directly on the underlying physical micromechanisms.

Advances in Design Strategy and Mechanism Insights for Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: Multilevel Site Engineering and Structure–Activity Relationship

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This review is about material design based on engineering multilevel sites from theoretical calculation and synthetic routes to mechanism, structure–activity relationship, challenges and perspectives for boosting hydrogen production in alkaline electrolyte. Electrolytic water splitting is a clean, carbon‐free method for producing green hydrogen and has

Microstructural modelling of creep crack growth from a blunted crack [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The effect of crack tip blunting on the initial stages of creep crack growth is investigated by means of a planar microstructural model in which grains are represented discretely. The actual linking-up process of discrete microcracks with the macroscopic

Finite element analysis of bonded crack retarders for integral aircraft structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Trends in aircraft design and manufacture are towards the reduction of manufacturing cost and structural weight while maintaining high level of safety. These reductions can be achieved by using integral structures.

Flexible photocatalytic materials: From substrate engineering to multi‐field synergistic enhancement

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
This review examines flexible photocatalytic systems, covering substrate evolution from polymers to biomass, fabrication methods like electrospinning, and key mechanical and optoelectrochemical metrics under deformation. Enhancement strategies are critically discussed, followed by applications in energy conversion, environmental remediation, and ...

Fatigue crack shielding in plain bearings under large scale yielding

open access: yes, 2010
Multi-layered bearing systems used in the automotive industry show shielding and antishielding effects that reduce or amplify the crack driving force under large-scale yielding conditions. Using finite element analysis, it is shown that shielding in such

Heterogeneous Exhumation Mechanisms in Neoproterozoic Collisional Metamorphism: P–T Constraints From Pelotas and Punta del Este Terranes, Southern Brazil and Uruguay

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Petrography, thermobarometry, and pseudosection modelling reveal peak metamorphic conditions of 3–7.5 kbar and 520°C–800°C in Tonian‐Cryogenian orthogneisses of the Dom Feliciano Belt. Metamorphic field gradients of 27°C/km–39°C/km and variable exhumation mechanisms support correlation of these units as remnants of a Himalayan‐type Piratini Orogeny ...
