Exploiting elastic buckling of high-strength gold nanowire toward stable electrical probing
iScience, 2022 Summary: Buckling is a loss of structural stability. It occurs in long slender structures or thin plate structures which is subjected to compressive forces. For the structural materials, such a sudden change in shape has been considered to be avoided. In

International Journal of Coal Science & Technology, 2023 The existence of joints or other kinds of discontinuities has a dramatic effect on the stability of rock excavations and engineering. As a result, a great challenge in rock mass mechanics testing is to prepare rock or rock-like samples with defects.

Molecular Mechanics of Disordered Solids
Archives of Computational Methods in Engineering, 2023 Disordered solids are ubiquitous in engineering and everyday use. Although research has made considerable progress in the last decades, our understanding of the mechanics of these materials is, at best, in an embryonic state. Since the nature of disorder

Mechanics of Interfacial Composite Materials [PDF]
Langmuir, 2006 Recent experiments and simulations have demonstrated that particle-covered interfaces can exist in stable non-spherical shapes as a result of the steric jamming of the interfacially trapped particles, which confers the interface with solid-like properties. We provide an experimental and theoretical characterization of the mechanical properties of these

An Extreme Toughening Mechanism for Soft Materials [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Soft yet tough materials are ubiquitous in nature and everyday life. The ratio between fracture toughness and intrinsic fracture energy of a soft material defines its toughness enhancement. Soft materials' toughness enhancement has been long attributed to their bulk stress-stretch hysteresis induced by dissipation mechanisms such as Mullins effect and ...

Interfacial Mechanical Behaviors in Carbon Nanotube Assemblies [PDF]
, 2017 Interface widely exists in carbon nanotube (CNT) assembly materials, taking place at different length scales. It determines severely the mechanical properties of these assembly materials. Here I assess the mechanical properties of individual CNTs and CNT bundles, the inter-layer or inter-shell mechanics in multi-walled CNTs, the shear properties ...

Proceedings of the 2019 3rd International Conference on Education, Management Science and Economics (ICEMSE 2019), 2019 Mechanics of materials is considered one of the most difficult introductory courses in undergraduate education in civil engineering. In order to improve students' learning interest and problem-solving ability, we have tried innovation in teaching ...

Experimental study and modeling on effective thermal conductivity of EPS lightweight concrete
Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2016 The effect of expanded polystyrene (EPS) inclusions on thermal conductivity of lightweight concrete is studied. Various mixtures are produced by incorporating EPS aggregate at different volumes (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) in concrete with three water ...
