Durability of Rock Armour on Coastal Structures

Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986
This paper summarises many of the recent advances in the testing of rock quality for coastal structures. Advanced work on armour profile and armour unit shape descriptors is identified. A set of assessment methods for monitoring armoured slopes in the field are described, with examples drawn from recent monitoring exercises.

Mechanotransduction of Magnetically Applied Forces Leads to Mechanical Stiffening of Platelet‐Rich Plugs

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A microfluidic device with magnetic microposts was used to assess platelet mechanobiology. The oscillatory actuation of posts with embedded iron particles was dampened by the dynamic stiffening of the platelet‐rich plugs. This stiffening process increased with applied load, but inhibiting platelet activation (ASA) or myosin contractility (blebbistatin)

Numerical modeling of wave-induced liquefaction around a gravity-based structure

Frontiers in Built Environment
Residual liquefaction, a significant issue in marine engineering, results from accumulated pore-water pressure in the seabed due to cyclic shear stresses, which compromises soil stability.

Evaluation of seismic behavior of box culvert buried in the ground through centrifuge model tests and numerical analysis

Underground Space, 2019
Japan has yet to establish a seismic design for road box culverts (RBCs) because past major earthquakes did not damage them. In recent years, structures with enlarged sectional dimensions (the purpose of which is to optimize the internal space in RBCs ...

Patterned ELR‐Gelatin Hydrogels Enable Rapid Endothelial Monolayer Formation via Bioactive Matrix Chemistry and Surface Topography

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Micro‐ and nano‐patterned elastin‐like recombinamer (ELR) hydrogels integrate bioactive matrix chemistry with defined surface topography. The combined cues promote rapid endothelial cell capture, alignment, and monolayer formation on soft substrates.

Free Rocking of a Rigid Block on a Flexible Structure with Non-Smooth Contact Dynamics

Applied Sciences
When structures are subjected to dynamic loading, such as that caused by an earthquake or working machinery, the rocking behavior of objects located on parts of the loaded structure plays an important role in addressing the protection and stability of ...

Ferroelectric Quantum Dots for Retinomorphic In‐Sensor Computing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work has provided a protocol for fabricating retinomorphic phototransistors by integrating ferroelectric ligands with quantum dots. The resulting device combines ferroelectricity, optical responsiveness, and low‐power operation to enable adaptive signal amplification and high recognition accuracy under low‐light conditions, while supporting ...

Experimental Investigation of Embedment Depth Effects on the Rocking Behavior of Foundations

Geosciences
Shallow foundations supporting high-rise structures are often subjected to extreme lateral loading from wind and seismic activities. Nonlinear soil–foundation system behaviors, such as foundation uplift or bearing capacity mobilization (i.e., rocking ...

Role of Liquid Composition in the Transient Liquid Assisted Growth of Superconducting YBa2Cu3O7‐δ Films

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The Y supersaturation in the [Ba‐Cu(I/II)‐O] transient liquid composition is the driving force toward YBCO nucleation and growth in TLAG. Tuning the initial (Ba:Cu) molar ratio in the ink composition determines the YBCO epitaxial nucleation through supersaturation control.
