The internal structure and composition of a plate-boundary-scale serpentinite shear zone: the Livingstone Fault, New Zealand [PDF]
Deciphering the internal structure and composition of large serpentinite-dominated shear zones will lead to an improved understanding of the rheology of the lithosphere in a range of tectonic settings.

Influence of section depth on the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete continuous deep beams [PDF]
YesAlthough the depth of reinforced concrete deep beams is much higher than that of slender beams, extensive existing tests on deep beams have focused on simply supported beams with a scaled depth below 600 mm.

Analytical solution of two-layer beam taking into account interlayer slip and shear deformation [PDF]
A mathematical model is proposed and its analytical solution derived for the analysis of the geometrically and materially linear two-layer beams with different material and geometric characteristics of an individual layer.

Sheared force-networks: anisotropies, yielding and geometry [PDF]
A scenario for yielding of granular matter is presented by considering the ensemble of force networks for a given contact network and applied shear stress $\tau$.

Heavy snowfall event over the Swiss Alps: did wind shear impact secondary ice production? [PDF]
The change in wind direction and speed with height, referred to as vertical wind shear, causes enhanced turbulence in the atmosphere. As a result, there are enhanced interactions between ice particles that break up during collisions in clouds which could

On sixfold coupled vibrations of thin-walled composite box beams [PDF]
This paper presents a general analytical model for free vibration of thin-walled composite beams with arbitrary laminate stacking sequences and studies the effects of shear deformation over the natural frequencies.

Tidal wind shear observed by meteor radar and comparison with sporadic E occurrence rates based on GPS radio occultation observations [PDF]
We analyze tidal (diurnal, semidiurnal, terdiurnal, quarterdiurnal) phases and related wind shear in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere as observed by meteor radar over Collm (51.3∘ N, 13.0∘ E).

Transient conduit permeability controlled by a shift between compactant shear and dilatant rupture at Unzen volcano (Japan) [PDF]
The permeability of magma in volcanic conduits controls the fluid flow and pore pressure development that regulates gas emissions and the style of volcanic eruptions.

Analysis of fracture processes in reinforced concrete beams without stirrups
The analysis of fracture processes which led to shear failure in reinforced concrete beams without transverse reinforcement was performed on the basis of test results from the author’s own experimental investigation and numerical simulations.
