Effect of Vehicle Cyclic Loading on the Failure of Canal Embankment on Soft Clay Deposit
GeosciencesRoad embankments along irrigation canals, constructed on soft Bangkok clay, have always been unstable. Numerous studies have shown that rapid drawdown of water level may be one of the main causes, while vehicle cyclic loading may also contribute to ...

Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Electrohydraulic Folding Ring Actuators for Radially Contracting Applications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work presents an Electrohydraulic Folding Ring Actuator that combines high‐performance electrohydraulic actuation with origami‐inspired folding geometry to achieve constricting radial actuation. This integration yields significant inner lumen constriction, alongside a gripping force capable of holding objects exceeding four times the actuator's ...

Constitutive behavior of Port-Said Clay under seismic and small strain static conditions
Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2018 Port-Said Clay is very soft to firm clay deposited in the delta of an old tributary of the Nile at the east of Port-Said, Egypt. Despite the detailed characterization carried out for Port-Said Clay, no tests were carried out to measure its seismic or ...
