A Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline Approach for Prediction of Maximum Shear Modulus and Minimum Damping Ratio

Engineering Journal, 2012
This study uses multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) for determination of maximum shear modulus (G max ) and minimum damping ratio (ξ min ) of synthetic reinforced soil. MARS employs confining pressure (σ, psi), rubber (r, %) and sand (s, %) as input variables. The outputs of the MARS are G max and ξ min .

The maximum shear modulus of expansive soil during wetting-drying processes and its prediction

Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi, 2021
In order to examine the dynamic characteristics of expansive soil in natural environment, the maximum shear modulus of undisturbed and remoulded Nanyang expansive soil specimens were tested by using a triaxial apparatus equipping with a pair of bender element. The saturated undisturbed Nanyang expansive soil specimen was tested using the bender element

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

An analysis of the elastic properties of a porous aluminium oxide film by means of indentation techniques [PDF]

, 2013
The elastic modulus of thin films can be directly determined by instrumented indentation when the indenter penetration does not exceed a fraction of the film thickness, depending on the mechanical properties of both film and substrate.

Functional Differentiation of Type II and Type I Collagen Articular Models in Synovial Fluid Film Formation and Recombinant Equine Lubricin Retention

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Collagen II coatings support the formation of synovial fluid nanofilms, while collagen I coatings do not. Both bind recombinant equine lubricin similarly. These findings may help explain articular cartilage surface joint dysfunction, inform biomaterial design for synovial joint repair, and expand on lubricin‐based osteoarthritis therapies.
