Growth and shear loss characteristics of an aerobic biofilm : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology in Biotechnology at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
The application of biofilms in fermentation and waste treatment processes has been increasingly considered in recent years due to several inherent advantages over suspended growth systems.

Identification of rolling resistance as a shape parameter in sheared granular media

open access: yes, 2011
Using contact dynamics simulations, we compare the effect of rolling resistance at the contacts in granular systems composed of disks with the effect of angularity in granular systems composed of regular polygonal particles.

Influence of shear reinforcement corrosion on the performance of under-reinforced concrete beams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The in-service performance of reinforced concrete beams can be severely affected through cor-rosion of the steel reinforcement when it becomes subjected to harsh corrosive environments containing chlo-rides and carbon dioxide.

Nitride‐Reinforced Metal Matrix Nanocomposite Powders Production by Plasma‐Assisted Thermochemical Treatment of Intermetallic Powders

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a new methodology for producing metal matrix nanocomposites in the solid state. The process involves the plasma‐assisted thermochemical treatment of metallic alloy powders. As a proof‐of‐concept, TiN nanoparticles are synthesized directly on the surface of FeTi intermetallic powder particles, enabling the development of the ...

Four‐Point Bending Tests at High Temperatures on Commercial MgO‐C Refractory Bricks with and Without Recyclate Considering Different Carbon Contents

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Four‐point bending tests are conducted in an argon atmosphere on commercial MgO‐C brick grades with and without MgO‐C recyclate from room temperature up to 1300 °C. No detrimental effect of the MgO‐C recyclates on bending strength is found. Instead, a decisive influence of the total carbon content is observed, with lower total carbon contents ...

Engineering Deformation and Failure in Diamond Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Lattices via 3D Wall‐Thickness Grading

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The work demonstrates that strategic wall‐thickness grading in diamond triply periodic minimal surface lattices enables precise tuning of deformation and failure behavior under compression. Different gradation patterns guide how and where the structure collapses, improving energy absorption or promoting controlled brittle failure.

Comparison between numerical analysis and experiment for the dry density and shear resistance variations with different depths (groundwater level variations)

open access: yesGeology, Ecology, and Landscapes
Comparison between numerical analysis by the PLAXIS 3D – finite element method and experiment measurement by the Viet Nam Standard “TCVN 4195:2012; TCVN 4199:1995” for the dry density and shear resistance variations with different depths (groundwater ...

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Shear Resistance Evolution of Geogrid Reinforced Expansive Soil Under Freeze–Thaw Cycles

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Expansive soils have significant characteristics of expansion by water absorption, contraction by water loss. Under the freeze–thaw (F-T) cycles, the engineering diseases are more significant, and the serious geotechnical engineering incidents are ...

Shear-induced rigidity of frictional particles: Analysis of emergent order in stress space

open access: yes, 2016
Solids are distinguished from fluids by their ability to resist shear. In traditional solids, the resistance to shear is associated with the emergence of broken translational symmetry as exhibited by a non-uniform density pattern, which results from ...
