Mechanical Characterization of Adobe Bricks
The mechanical characterization of adobe bricks is an important first step in the study of the behaviour of adobe masonry. For this reason, in the last decades, different authors have conducted research on the mechanical behaviour of adobes from various regions of the world.

Fracture mechanics characterization of an anisotropic geomaterial [PDF]
Argillites are considered worldwide as potential host rock for high level radioactive waste given the low permeability and strong adsorption potential. However, the excavation of the galleries of a repository would produce a disturbed zone around the boundaries rich of new fractures which may enhance the conductivity of the rock along the gallery axis.

Thermal-Mechanical Properties of Polyurethane-Clay Shape Memory Polymer Nanocomposites [PDF]
Shape memory nanocomposites of polyurethane (PU)-clay were fabricated by melt mixing of PU and nano-clay. Based on nano-indentation and microhardness tests, the strength of the nanocomposites increased dramatically as a function of clay content, which is

An algorithmic characterization of multi-dimensional mechanisms [PDF]
We show that every feasible, Bayesian, multi-item multi-bidder mechanism for independent, additive bidders can be implemented as a mechanism that: (a) allocates every item independently of the other items; (b) for the allocation of each item it uses a strict ordering of all bidders' types; and allocates the item using a distribution over hierarchical ...

Mechanical characterization of elastic membranes: Cell mechanics applications [PDF]
Wrinkled patterns produced by cells crawling onto elastic membranes provide a useful tool to test living cells’ locomotion. The technique, however, requires a characterization of the intrinsic properties and tension of the membrane as well as an accurate determination of the deformation induced by the cell.

Large structure-dependent room temperature exchange bias in self-assembled BiFeO3 nanoparticles
We studied the magnetic properties of self-assembled aggregates of BiFeO3 nanoparticles (∼20 nm–40 nm). The aggregates formed two different structures—one with limited and another with massive crosslinking—via the “drying-mediated self-assembly” process ...
