Influence of Rotations on the Critical State of Soil Mechanics [PDF]

, 2010
The ability of grains to rotate can play a crucial role on the collective behavior of granular media. It has been observed in computer simulations that imposing a torque at the contacts modifies the force chains, making support chains less important.

Non-inverting Tillage: Early-Stage Effects on Soil Mechanical Behaviour [PDF]

, 2000
Organic farmers often claim positive effects of non-inverting and reduced tillage systems. There is a need of quantifying tilth characteristics in the former plough layer of soil converted to such tillage systems.

Impact of Cattaneo–Christov Heat and Mass Flux on MHD Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Over an Extending Surface With Convective and Mass Flux Effects

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the flow of a magnetized hybrid nanofluid over a permeable stretching surface. The mass and thermal transport within the system is regulated using the Cattaneo–Christov flux theory. The fluid is additionally subjected to thermophoresis, chemical reaction, Brownian motion, and activation energy effects.

Shear Behavior of Frozen Rock-Soil Mixture

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
Mechanical behavior of frozen rock-soil mixture was investigated through direct shear test based on remolded specimens. The peak shear strength of rock-soil mixture increases greatly when it is fully frozen.

Pemanfaatan Limbah Sabut Kelapa Sawit Intuk Meningkatkan Kekuatan Tanah [PDF]

, 2013
Soil has a very significant role in construction works, both as the main composition and supporting material. If the construction is build on a soft soil like soft clay, then it will give problem to the construction building.

Collapsing granular suspensions

, 2009
A 2D contact dynamics model is proposed as a microscopic description of a collapsing suspension/soil to capture the essential physical processes underlying the dynamics of generation and collapse of the system.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

The Effect of Roots on the Shear Strength of Texturally Distinct Soils

Floresta e Ambiente
The aim of this work was to evaluate the roots influence on the shear strength of a clay soil and a sandy soil. Soil samples with and without roots were collected from experimental plantations of Atlantic Forest native species. The soil samples were then
