Evaluation of resilient modulus and unconfined compressive strength of subgrade [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Subgrade soil is the important material as the foundation for supporting the pavement layers and the repeated load of vehicle traffic. To characterize the stiffness and strength behavior of subgrade due to traffic loading in structural pavement design ...

Pressure-Corrected Carotid Stiffness and Young’s Modulus: Evaluation in an Outpatient Clinic Setting [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 2021 Abstract Background Conventional measures for assessing arterial stiffness are inherently pressure dependent. Whereas statistical pressure adjustment is feasible in (larger) populations, it is unsuited for the evaluation of an individual patient.

Disorder induced brittle to quasi-brittle transition in fiber bundles [PDF]
, 2011 We investigate the fracture process of a bundle of fibers with random Young modulus and a constant breaking strength. For two component systems we show that the strength of the mixture is always lower than the strength of the individual components.

Corneal Stiffness and Modulus of Normal-Tension Glaucoma in Chinese
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022 To assess and compare the corneal biomechanics of normal-tension glaucoma (NTG), high-tension glaucoma (HTG), and normal controls based on stiffness and modulus. The correlations among central corneal thickness (CCT), visual field, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, and corneal biomechanics in glaucoma eyes were also evaluated.A prospective ...
