QUARRY STABILITY ANALYSIS FOR COMPLEX SLIP SURFACES USING THE MATHSLOPE METHOD

open access: yesRudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2004
Due to the specific characteristics of rock mass compared to other geological materials, the calculation of rock slope stability is very complex. One of the basic characteristics of rock masses is discontinuity, which, to the most degree, is formed by ...

Model Tests on the Antibreaking Countermeasures for Tunnel Lining Across Stick-Slip Faults

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
In order to improve the structural safety and stability of the tunnels crossing stick-slip fault, an indoor model test on the effect of tunnel antibreaking measures under the influence of fault stick-slip movements was conducted.

A Biologically‐Architected Wear and Damage‐Resistant Nanoparticle Coating From the Radular Teeth of Cryptochiton stelleri

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The ultrahard teeth of mollusks that feed on rocky substrates contain a wear‐resistant coating on their surfaces consisting of densely packed mesocrystalline magnetic nanoparticles within an organic matrix. These coatings display significant hardness and toughness through their highly controlled mesocrystalline architectures.

Top Bar Effects in Prestressed Concrete Piles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The top bar effect in reinforced concrete is a widely recognized phenomenon. Currently, the ACI Building Code prescribes a 30% increase in the development length of top cast reinforcing bars.

The effect of precipitation on strength and ductility in a Mg-Zn-Y alloy

open access: yes, 2012
The effect of pre-ageing deformation on the size and distribution of beta-prime precipitates and subsequently on the resulting strength and ductility have been measured in a Mg-3.0at.%Zn-0.5at.%Y alloy.

Toughening β‐Ga2O3 via Mechanically Seeded Dislocations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
β‐Ga2O3 is promising for next‐generation semiconductors but its brittleness limits flexible and high‐precision applications. Here, mechanically seeded dislocations introduced by surface deformation improved damage tolerance in (001) β‐Ga2O3. Nanoindentation and characterization show dislocations suppress cleavage cracks by enabling stable plastic ...

Geometry‐Dependent Adhesion in Transparent Monodomain Liquid Crystal Elastomers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs) are emerging as exciting pressure‐sensitive adhesives. We examine adhesion in chemically identical elastomer films, exploring the influence of geometry (director orientation) and phase (nematic or isotropic). We demonstrate the potential of these aligned films as transparent, tunable, broad‐temperature‐range smart ...

Effect of Patterned Slip on Micro and Nanofluidic Flows

open access: yes, 2005
We consider the flow of a Newtonian fluid in a nano or microchannel with walls that have patterned variations in slip length. We formulate a set of equations to describe the effects on an incompressible Newtonian flow of small variations in slip, and ...
