Differences in predominant collagen fiber orientation between dorsal and plantar trabecular bone tracts of adult mule deer calcanei suggest strain‐mode‐specific adaptation

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Polarized microscopic images of the outer bone cortex (a and b) and deeper trabecular bone (c and d) of the deer calcaneus in thin cross‐sections. The brighter gray levels reflect more oblique‐to‐transverse collagen fibers in the compression/dorsal bone (a, c) and the darker gray levels reflect more longitudinal collagen in the tension/plantar bone (b,

Fracture mechanics - with an introduction to micromechanics

open access: yes, 2022
Concerned with the fundamental concepts and methods of fracture mechanics and micromechanics, Fracture Mechanics primarily focuses on the mechanical description of the fracture process; however, material specific aspects are also discussed.

Micromechanics of damage propagation in fluid-saturated cracked media

open access: yes, 2007
This paper proposes a brief overview of the micromechanics approach to the modelling of crack-induced damage. To begin with, the main lines of the micromechanics reasoning are presented and applied to cracked media. We then introduce the so-called dilute

Clay micromechanics: Numerical modelling of electrical double-layer interactions to develop particle-based models for clay [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Discrete element modelling of clays requires defining the interaction energy between two particles. The Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey and Overbeek (DLVO) theory combining the effect of the van der Waals forces and the Coulombic forces due to the double layer

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Probabilistic prediction of rate‐dependent rock strength using natural gradient boosting and Gaussian process regression

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Probabilistic natural gradient boosting and Gaussian process regression models accurately predict rate‐dependent rock strength across lithologies. Static strength and strain rate dominate, while geometric factors have minimal influence, enabling interpretable and uncertainty‐aware predictions for dynamic geomechanical applications. Abstract The dynamic

Numerical investigation of natural fracture activation and leakage risk during CO2 sequestration in depleted sandstone reservoirs

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates the hydro‐mechanical response and fracture evolution in depleted sandstone reservoirs during CO2 injection, considering both direct wellbore injection and hydraulic‐fracture‐assisted injection. The graphical abstract illustrates how CO2 injection induces dynamic stress redistribution, leading to natural fracture activation ...

A Biosourced and Self‐Healable Polymer Electrolyte for Potassium Batteries

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
A biosourced lignin‐filled gel polymer electrolyte combines suppressed crystallinity, high ionic conductivity, and UPy‐driven self‐healing for potassium batteries. The optimized formulation sustains long‐term cycling with 97.5% capacity retention after 1000 cycles and preserves electrochemical operation after intentional membrane damage.

Micromechanics-based investigation of fouled ballast using large-scale triaxial tests and discrete element modeling

open access: yes, 2017
Railway ballast comprises unbounded discrete grains that are often used to form a load-bearing platform for tracks. Ballast degradation as trains pass over the tracks and infiltration of external fines including slurried (pumped) fine subgrade soils are ...
