Creep Experimental Study of Rocks Containing Weak Interlayer Under Multilevel Loading and Unloading Cycles

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Using the cyclic loading and unloading method, rheological tests of intact sandstones and composite sandstones containing a weak interlayer (WI) with inclination angles 15°, 30°, 45°, and 60° under different axial loading were carried out.

Spatio-temporal dynamics of an active, polar, viscoelastic ring

open access: yes, 2014
Constitutive equations for a one-dimensional, active, polar, viscoelastic liquid are derived by treating the strain field as a slow hydrodynamic variable.

Strain Hardening of Polymer Glasses: Entanglements, Energetics, and Plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Simulations are used to examine the microscopic origins of strain hardening in polymer glasses. While stress-strain curves for a wide range of temperature can be fit to the functional form predicted by entropic network models, many other results are ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Stress-structure relation in dense colloidal melt under forward and instantaneous reversal of shear

open access: yes, 2015
Dense supercooled colloidal melt in forward shear from a quiescent state shows overshoot in shear stress at 10% strain with an unchanged fluid structure at equal stress before and after overshoot.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Investigation of the Behaviour of Cohesive Powder in the Biaxial Tester

open access: yesKONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2014
The results from experiments with cohesive limestone powder in a Biaxial Tester are presented. The biaxial tester allows a plane homogeneous deformation and measurement of the complete stress-strain states.

Rheological instability in a simple shear thickening model

open access: yes, 2001
We study the strain response to steady imposed stress in a spatially homogeneous, scalar model for shear thickening, in which the local rate of yielding \Gamma(l) of mesoscopic `elastic elements' is not monotonic in the local strain l.

Influence of stress state and strain path on deformation induced martensitic transformations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The mechanically induced transformation behavior of 12Crsingle bond9Nisingle bond 4Mo (ASTM A 564) austenitic stainless steel is investigated in different stress states.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.
