Effect of Water-Cement Ratio on Plastic Shrinkage Cracking in Self-Compacting Concrete

, 2017
Plastic shrinkage cracking is a mechanical phenomenon that occurs in the first few hours after casting the concrete in its mould. It is commonly believed that rapid and excessive moisture loss of the fresh concrete, mainly due to evaporation, plays a ...

Infinite Functional Versatility, Formidable Limits: Evaluating Gallium‐Based Liquid Metals in Rechargeable Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Beyond the hype surrounding the self‐healing properties of gallium‐based liquid metals (Ga‐LMs), this perspective critically examines their functional roles in metal‐ion batteries, highlighting both their underlying merits and the often‐overlooked challenges, including non‐representative design and testing configurations, performance overestimations ...

Ternary Crosslinking Builds Nanosheet Hard Carbon and Interfacial Polarization Regulates Na⁺ Kinetics in Hard Carbon Anodes

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Nanosheet Hard Carbon for Fast Na+ Storage ABSTRACT Hard‐carbon anodes for sodium‐ion batteries are often constrained by low initial Coulombic efficiency, severe interfacial polarization, and sluggish Na⁺ kinetics, especially when porosity engineering amplifies electrolyte consumption.

Shear behavior of bolt–grout interfaces under constant normal stiffness: Influence of grout strength and thickness

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The effects of grout strength and thickness on the shear behavior of bolt–grout interfaces (BGI) under constant normal stiffness conditions are investigated. Shear strength, failure modes, and acoustic emission characteristics are examined. The findings reveal that grout strength exerts a significantly greater influence on BGI shear strength and ...

A rock brittleness index based on the postpeak energy release rate and damage surface characteristics for brittle hard rock

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines energy evolution in rock rupture via triaxial direct shear tests, exploring the impact of confining pressure and temperature on fracture surface randomness. A novel energy‐based brittleness index is proposed, validated experimentally, and compared with existing methods for reliability and accuracy.

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...
