THE CONSISTENCY CONDITIONS FOR DENSITY LIMITS OF HYPOPLASTIC CONSTITUTIVE LAW

TASK Quarterly, 2000
The so called phase diagram of grain skeletons illustrates the range of possible void ratios between the pressure dependent bounds ei and et. It can be shown that in the framework of the actual hypoplastic model these bounds can be surpassed by ...

Water retention and suction stress of a partially saturated sand-clay mixture subjected to hydraulic hysteresis: Laboratory investigations and model evaluation [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The properties of partially saturated soils are essential for geotechnical engineering since the majority of construction work takes place in the unsaturated zone between the ground surface and the groundwater table.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

How solid–liquid adsorption affects the liquid–vapor interface in pores

Vadose Zone Journal, 2022
The augmented Young–Laplace (AYL) equation has been widely used to describe the liquid–vapor interfaces affected by capillarity and adsorption, particularly in nanoporous or clay minerals where strong adsorptive interaction prevails.

Ratiometric Mycotoxin Detection in Living Plants With Dual‐Emissive Nanosensors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive microneedle patch integrates carbon dot‐embedded metal–organic frameworks as nanosensors to detect a key fungal toxin in living plants. The nanosensor produces a ratiometric fluorescence signal that enables early, non‐destructive diagnosis of fungal infection before visible symptoms, offering a new biomaterials‐based strategy for ...

A General Framework to Simulate Soil–Structure Interface Behaviour Using Advanced Constitutive Models

Modelling
The importance of using sophisticated interface models to obtain realistic numerical solutions of soil–structure interaction (SSI) problems has been recognised in recent decades. With this aim, various advanced interface models have been developed, which

Influence of Carbon Nanoparticles on Electrically Induced Wear of Grease‐Lubricated Steels

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
When an electric current enters a pair of rubbing surfaces, enormous damage takes place. In this research, how such damage occurs in the presence of protective grease and the mitigation with added carbon nanoparticles, were investigated. It was discovered that those particles regulate transport and interfacial electrical stability of the grease ...

A soil exploration exercise in Bachelor's level education in soil mechanics

, 2009
Geotechnical education at Bachelor level usually commences with a simplified theoretical introduction into soil mechanics, which may be supported later during the course by hands-on laboratory experiments to cover classification of soils and provide the ...

Parallel Electrical Integration of Photo Bio Electrochemical Systems (photo‐BESs): Performance Gains and Load Dependency

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.
