Experimental studies of scale effects on shear strength, and deformation of rock joints [PDF]
The effect of scale on shear strength is studied by performing direct shear tests on different sized samples of large joints. A rubber moulding system is used to obtain impressions of the roughness from a variety of natural joint surfaces.

Friction of Shear-Fracture Zones [PDF]
A shear fracture of brittle solids under compression undergoes a substantial evolution from the initial microcracking to a fully formed powder-filled shear zone. Experiments covering the entire process are relatively easy to conduct, but they are very difficult to investigate in detail. Numerically, the large strain limit has remained a challenge.

Viscoelastic behaviour of basaltic lavas. [PDF]
The rheological properties of basaltic lavas from Etna, Hawai′i and Vesuvius have been investigated at temperatures between 500 and 1150°C using a small-strain oscillatory shear. The viscoelastic response of the lavas to small, forced, sinusoidal torques

We discuss crack propagation along the interface between two dissimilar materials. The crack edge separates two states of the interface, ``stick'' and ``slip''. In the slip region we assume that the shear stress is proportional to the sliding velocity, i.e. the linear viscous friction law.

Friction by Shear Deformations in Multilayer Graphene [PDF]
We present accurate calculations of friction in graphene films in configurations simulating the presence of an anchoring substrate. We find that a slider induces both out-of-plane and shear deformations, which increase with the thickness of the supported film.

Revealing the frictional transition in shear-thickening suspensions [PDF]
Significance The sudden and severe increase in the viscosity of certain suspensions above an onset stress is one of the most spectacular phenomena observed in complex fluids. This shear thickening, which has major implications for industry, is a long-standing puzzle in soft-matter physics.

In pipe jacking, the continued growth of friction resistance around the pipe may cause problems, such as an insufficient jacking force, soil collapse, and even land subsidence, which seriously endangers the structural safety of the pipe and surrounding ...

The mechanical properties of the gravelly sliding zone soils are closely related to the meso-structure of the shear surface. The quantitative characterization of shear surface roughness is of great significance to revealing the meso-mechanism of change ...
