Shear modulus of the hadron-quark mixed phase
, 2013 Robust arguments predict that a hadron-quark mixed phase may exist in the cores of some "neutron" stars. Such a phase forms a crystalline lattice with a shear modulus higher than that of the crust due to the high density and charge separation, even ...

Modelling strong seismic ground motion: three-dimensional loading path versus wavefield polarization [PDF]
, 2012 Seismic waves due to strong earthquakes propagating in surficial soil layers may both reduce soil stiffness and increase the energy dissipation into the soil.

Plastisol Gelation and Fusion Rheological Aspects [PDF]
, 2013 This study deals with the rheological aspects of poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) plastisol gelation and fusion processes in foamable formulations. Here, such processes are simulated by temperature-programmed experiment (5 K min−1) in which complex viscosity ...

Simulating spatial and temporal evolution of multiple wing cracks around faults in crystalline basement rocks [PDF]
, 2007 Fault zones are structurally highly spatially heterogeneous and hence extremely complex. Observations of fluid flow through fault zones over several scales show that this structural complexity is reflected in the hydrogeological properties of faults ...

Maximum shear modulus of calcareous sand in Dejebel Dahar, Tunisia and its dependency on applied stress [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 The present experimental investigation aims at investigating the small strain stiffness of calcareous sand as a function of applied stress. The calcareous sand was sampled at Tunisia's Dejebel Dahar region, and the shear wave velocity (Vs) of calcareous sand was measured using modified oedometer cell equipped with bender elements.

Overshoots in stress strain curves: Colloid experiments and schematic mode coupling theory
, 2012 The stress versus strain curves in dense colloidal dispersions under start-up shear flow are investigated combining experiments on model core-shell microgels, computer simulations of hard disk mixtures, and mode coupling theory. In dense fluid and glassy

Use of machine learning in determining Gmax from bender element tests [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe use of bender element is one of the most popular methods of determining shear wave velocity, and hence elastic shear modulus due to its relatively straightforward experimental set-up.

Point defect in solids: Shear dominance of the far-field energy [PDF]
, 2007 It is shown that the elastic energy far from a point defect in an isotropic solid is mainly shear elastic energy. The calculation, which is based on a standard dipole expansion, shows that no matter how large or small the bulk modulus is compared to the ...
