Understanding the rebound surface hardness of concrete

open access: yesJournal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2015
Surface hardness testing of materials can be considered as the oldest method to get information about strength related material properties. In recent decades the rebound hammer has been the most popular surface hardness testing device for concrete ...

On the hardness of finding normal surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied and Computational Topology, 2021
For many fundamental problems in computational topology, such as unknot recognition and $3$-sphere recognition, the existence of a polynomial-time solution remains unknown. A major algorithmic tool behind some of the best known algorithms for these problems is normal surface theory.

Hard spheres on the gyroid surface [PDF]

open access: yesInterface Focus, 2012
Abstract We find that 48/64 hard spheres per unit cell on the gyroid minimal surface are entropically self-organized. Striking evidence is obtained in terms of the acceptance ratio of Monte Carlo moves and order parameters. The regular tessellations of the spheres can be viewed as hyperbolic tilings on the Poincaré disc with a ...

Splitting (complicated) surfaces is hard [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Geometry, 2006
The authors solve the optimization problem of finding the shortest simple cycle that separates an orientable surface (2-manifold with boundary) into two topologically non-trivial components. The cycle is a continuous map of the unit circle on the considered surface. Firstly, the proof that computing the shortest splitting cycle on a given surface is NP-

Sandwich compression of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) and hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa) wood: density distribution, surface hardness and their controllability

open access: yesJournal of Wood Science, 2021
The sapwood and heartwood of plantation sugi wood (Cryptomeria japonica), and plantation hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa) wood were flat-sawn into timbers, then kiln-dried to a MC level below 12%. These timbers were further processed into specific sizes and

The surface hardness of tablets

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1970
AbstractA pneumatic micro-indentation apparatus has been used to determine the hardness of tablets of aspirin at various points on their diameter. All the tablets were 13 mm diameter; the compaction pressure and the particle size of the initial material were varied.
