Prediction of wetting-induced volume change behaviour of compacted unsaturated soils in the context of the MPK framework

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Compacted unsaturated soils show distinct behavioural patterns when compared with their saturated counterparts, and these behavioural patterns become more and more complex when soil is subjected to wetting, such as swelling or collapse and loss of shear ...

Hydro-mechanical coupling bounding surface model for unsaturated soils considering bonding effect of particles

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2020
The interparticle bonding effect has a significant influence on the hydro-mechanical coupling characteristics of unsaturated soils. Establishing a constitutive model for unsaturated soils considering the bonding effect is of great significance for ...

Nanozymes at the Bio‐Nano Interface: From Synthesis, Defect Engineering, Catalytic Behavior in Biological Microenvironments, and Biosafety Implications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Nanozymes (NZs) have emerged as versatile artificial enzymes with tunable catalytic properties driven by atomic coordination, defect engineering, and surface chemistry. This review presents a bio–nano interface framework linking synthesis strategies, structural design, and catalytic behavior within complex biological microenvironments.

Equations for soil freezing characteristics curves based on the thermodynamics principles

open access: yesGeoderma, 2023
Experimental studies related to the thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemo (THMC) behaviors of unsaturated frozen soils are cumbersome, expensive, and time consuming.

Modelling plasticity of unsaturated soils in a thermodynamically consistent framework [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Constitutive equations of unsaturated soils are often derived in a thermodynamically consistent framework through the use a unique 'effective' interstitial pressure. This later is naturally chosen as the space averaged interstitial pressure.
