New method to compensate for membrane compliance in dynamic triaxial liquefaction tests on gravelly soils

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2020
The membrane compliance has a significant effect on the results of the triaxial liquefaction tests. The compensation method is one of the primary means to eliminate the impact of the membrane.

Aging effects on liquefaction resistance of sand estimated from laboratory investigation

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 2023
Liquefaction resistance is known to increase concomitantly with the increase in time after construction or sedimentation. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of its aging effect on liquefaction have not been completely elucidated.

A Superlubricated Magnetically Steerable Microcatheter with Integrated Optical and Fluidic Channels

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetically steerable microcatheter with integrated optical and fluidic channels is developed for multifunctional navigation in tortuous anatomical environments. A surface‐grafted hydrogel coating enables low‐friction actuation. The device demonstrates stable light and fluid delivery during magnetic manipulation, offering a compact platform for ...

Discrete modelling of capillary mechanisms in multi-phase granular media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A numerical study of multi-phase granular materials based upon micro-mechanical modelling is proposed. Discrete element simulations are used to investigate capillary induced effects on the friction properties of a granular assembly in the pendular regime.

Rigid‐Flexible Coupling Units Enable Robust Large Birefringence

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A rigid–flexible coupling strategy, combining flexible (S3)2− linear units with rigid (VO4)3− tetrahedra, yields Sr4(VO4)2S3—a robust crystal exhibiting large birefringence (Δn = 0.52@550 nm) and remarkable thermal, air, and water stability. ABSTRACT Birefringent crystals are central to polarization control in laser technologies (e.g., wave plates and ...

Light‑Driven Propulsion of Graphene Aerogels in Microgravity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultralight graphene aerogels convert laser light into thrust. Parabolic‐flight experiments directly compare their motion in microgravity and at 1 g, revealing order‐of‐magnitude enhancements in distance, velocity, and transient thrust when weight and friction are removed (∼50 times enhancement).

Behavior of granular rubber waste tire reinforced soil for application in geosynthetic reinforced soil wall

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
Large quantities of waste tires are released to the environment in an undesirable way. The potential use of this waste material in geotechnical applications can contribute to reducing the tire disposal problem and to improve strength and deformation ...
