Electromagnetic and mechanical characteristaion of ITER CS-MC conductors affected by transverse cyclic loading, part 3: mechanical properties [PDF]
The magnetic field and current of a coil wound with a cable-in-conduit conductor causes a transverse force pushing the cable to one side of the conduit. This load causes elastic and plastic deformation with friction as well as heating due to friction.

Cyclic p-y Curves of Monopiles in Dense Dry Sand Using Centrifuge Model Tests
In this study, centrifuge model tests were used to examine the lateral behavior of a monopile embedded in dry sand through cyclic lateral loading tests.

Slow slip and the transition from fast to slow fronts in the rupture of frictional interfaces [PDF]
The failure of the population of micro-junctions forming the frictional interface between two solids is central to fields ranging from biomechanics to seismology. This failure is mediated by the propagation along the interface of various types of rupture

Laboratory observations of slow earthquakes and the spectrum of tectonic fault slip modes [PDF]
Slow earthquakes represent an important conundrum in earthquake physics. While regular earthquakes are catastrophic events with rupture velocities governed by elastic wave speed, the processes that underlie slow fault slip phenomena, including recent ...

Stochastic Properties of Static Friction [PDF]
The onset of frictional motion is mediated by rupture-like slip fronts, which nucleate locally and propagate eventually along the entire interface causing global sliding.

The mechanical properties of thin alumina film deposited by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition [PDF]
Amorphous alumina films were deposited by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) on stainless steel, type AISI 304. The MOCVD experiments were performed in nitrogen at low and atmospheric pressures. The effects of deposition temperature, growth

Pile foundations are widely used to transfer axial loads to deeper strata, where uplift resistance is critical for offshore structures, towers, and retaining systems. Uplift capacity is governed primarily by shaft resistance mobilized along the pile–soil

Slider-Block Friction Model for Landslides: Application to Vaiont and La Clapiere Landslides [PDF]
Accelerating displacements preceding some catastrophic landslides have been found empirically to follow a time-to-failure power law, corresponding to a finite-time singularity of the velocity $v \sim 1/(t_c-t)$ [{\it Voight}, 1988].

Crack-Like Processes Governing the Onset of Frictional Slip
We perform real-time measurements of the net contact area between two blocks of like material at the onset of frictional slip. We show that the process of interface detachment, which immediately precedes the inception of frictional sliding, is governed ...

Experimental evidence of non-Amontons behaviour at a multicontact interface [PDF]
We report on normal stress field measurements at the multicontact interface between a rough elastomeric film and a smooth glass sphere under normal load, using an original MEMS-based stress sensing device.
