Double Sided Traction Force Microscopy: A Method to Confine Cells for Physiologically Relevant Force Measurements

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper we describe a technique to make a confined environment of variable stiffness that is suitable for high‐resolution live‐cell imaging. This versatile and adaptable technique enables cell confinement between soft elastic surfaces made from polyacrylamide gels.

Beyond goniometry: 3D digital twinning of droplets from a single image

Droplet, EarlyView.
We present a method to produce physics‐informed three‐dimensional digital twins of droplets from a single image for wettability analyses. We validate the method with goniometry and demonstrate its capabilities with advancing‐receding contact angle measurements, irregularly shaped droplets, and multi‐droplet systems, indicating strong potential for in ...

Random finite element analysis on ground subsidence caused by tunnel excavation in karst regions with spatial variable soil

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates ground subsidence during tunnel excavation in karst areas, highlighting the combined effects of karst cave proximity, cave size, and soil spatial variability. Findings suggest that shorter cave distances and larger cave sizes increase subsidence variability, and a modified Peck formula is proposed for more accurate subsidence ...

Permeability of granite from a shallow buried mountain pipe gallery tunnel under unloading confining pressure

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Triaxial compression tests under unloading confining pressure conditions were conducted to systematically analyze the permeability behavior of granite retrieved from the different classification surrounding rocks. Abstract The rock mass within mountain tunnels undergoes complex changes in permeability, strength, and deformation during tunneling ...
