Homogenization methods and macro-strength of composites [PDF]
, 2001 A multi-phase periodic composite subjected to inhomogeneous shrinkage or temperature deformation and prescribed mechanical loads is considered. The asymptotic homogenisation is applied for calculation of homogenized macrostresses. A non-local approximate

Influence of shear stress applied during flow stoppage and rest period on the mechanical properties of thixotropic suspensions [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2008 We study the solid mechanical properties of several thixotropic suspensions as a function of the shear stress history applied during their flow stoppage and their aging in their solid state. We show that their elastic modulus and yield stress depend strongly on the shear stress applied during their solid-liquid transition (i.e., during flow stoppage ...

Assur graphs, marginally jammed packings, and reconfigurable metamaterials
Physical Review Research, 2023 Isostatic frames are mechanical networks that are simultaneously rigid and stress-free. Isostaticity itself is a powerful concept in understanding phase transitions in soft matter and designing mechanical metamaterials.

Effect of microstructure on dynamic compressive behavior of cellular materials [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 It is known that the microstructure of cellular materials has a significant impact on their compressive properties. To study these phenomena, a hierarchical Poisson disk sampling algorithm and Voronoi partitioning were used to create a 3D numerical ...

Hydro-mechanical network modelling of particulate composites [PDF]
, 2017 Differential shrinkage in particulate quasi-brittle materials causes microcracking which reduces durability in these materials by increasing their mass transport properties.

Effect of Curing Stress and Period on the Mechanical Properties of Cement-Mixed Sand
Soils and Foundations, 2011 ABSTRACT Cement mixing is one of the popular ground improvement technologies in geotechnical engineering practice. In order to effectively and confidently design cement-mixed soil structures for specific purposes, its stress-strain behavior needs to be well understood. Though there have been many studies on cement-mixed soils using different types of

Scientific Reports, 2022 The quality factor (Q-factor) is an important parameter for mechanical resonant sensors, and the optimal values depend on its application. Therefore, Q-factor control is essential for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

Faults Self-Organized by Repeated Earthquakes in a Quasi-Static Antiplane Crack Model [PDF]
, 1995 We study a 2D quasi-static discrete {\it crack} anti-plane model of a tectonic plate with long range elastic forces and quenched disorder. The plate is driven at its border and the load is transfered to all elements through elastic forces. This model can
