Experimental study on structural response of rigid pavements under moving truck load. [PDF]

, 2006
The structural adequacy of a rigid pavement can normally be predicted based on its structural response to the applied loads. While considerable knowledge of pavement behaviour under static loads is available word-wide, only very limited number of studies

Azobenzene's Cross‐Scale Optics and Photonics: Molecular Photoswitching, Mesoscopic Material Motions, and Adaptive Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...
