Creep constitutive modeling of the shear strength of the permafrost-concrete interface considering the stress level at -1°C.

PLoS ONE
The shear creep characteristics of the contact surface between the permafrost and the structure play an important role in the study of the law of deformation and the measures for the prevention and control of pile foundations. In order to study the creep

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2630-2651, March 2026.
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

A model for determining whether a firm should exercise multiple real options individually or simultaneously [PDF]

We develop a model for determining whether a firm should exercise two real options individually or simultaneously. The simultaneous exercise of both options has positive synergy, such as economies of scale, scope, and networks, while separate exercise of

Fractional-Order Stress Relaxation Model for Unsaturated Reticulated Red Clay Slope Instability

Fractal and Fractional
Triaxial suction-controlled relaxation tests were performed on unsaturated reticulated red clay from a highway cut slope to quantify the coupled influence of matric suction (50–200 kPa), net confining pressure (100–300 kPa), and axial strain (2–8%) on ...

An Improved Nishihara Model Considering the Influence of Moisture Content on the Whole Shear Creep Process of Shale

Processes
The moisture content is closely related to the shear creep deformation behavior of soft rock, and the linear creep deformation behavior of soft rock can be described by the classical Nishihara model. However, its accuracy in describing accelerated nonlinear creep characteristics and the effects of moisture content still needs to be improved.

Hybrid or Electric Vehicles? A Real Options Perspective [PDF]

This paper investigates the decision of an automaker concerning the alternative promotion of a hybrid vehicle (HV) and a full electric vehicle (EV). We evaluate the HV project by considering the option to change promotion from the HV to the EV in the ...

Creep damage constitutive model of rock based on the mechanisms of crack-initiated damage and extended damage

Underground Space
Since the classical element model cannot describe the nonlinear characteristics of rock during the entire compressive creep process, nonlinear elements and creep damage are generally introduced in the model to resolve this issue.

Creep constitutive model of strain energy density considering the whole process of creep deformation.

PLoS ONE
Aiming at the problem that the traditional creep model is difficult to reflect the characteristics of accelerated creep stage of rock, the influence of stress state on accelerated creep is fully considered, and a constitutive model which can describe ...

Viscoelastic plastic creep constitutive model based on energy conservation law and strain energy theory

Scientific Reports
On the basis of the law of conservation of energy, the three stages of rock creep are analyzed. The reasons for the difficulty in studying the accelerated creep stage of rocks using the traditional creep model are expounded.
