Velocity effects on slip evolution of faults subjected to constant and cyclic normal stress derived from laboratory tests

Rock Mechanics Bulletin
Understanding the slip-style evolution of tectonic faults is important for exploring the earthquake mechanisms. To reveal the fault slip characteristics under a complex stress state, we conducted a series of laboratory friction tests on saw-cut granite ...

Direct Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Channel Flow with Spanwise System Rotation and Velocity Slip on Suction Wall [PDF]

Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics
Direct numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the turbulent flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid in a channel at a fully-developed state. The channel rotates steadily around its spanwise axis.

Meniscus‐Guided Soft‐Lithographic Assembly of Grid‐Type Molecular Martensite Films for Single‐Crystal‐Like Actuation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A meniscus‐guided microtransfer molding strategy enables scalable fabrication of grid‐type molecular martensite films with b‐axis‐correlated preferential texture. Sequential growth across microchannel intersections creates structurally continuous grids and robust thermoelastic actuation (∼11% strain, > 50 cycles, maximum force density: 7.1 × 109 N m−3).

Interaction‐Driven Assembly Pathways in Heterogeneous Active Microrobotic Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Peanut‐ and cube‐shaped light‐powered microrobots exhibit distinct magnetic and photocatalytic responses that determine their heterogeneous self‐assembly. In the dark, magnetic dipole interactions drive colloidal copolymerization with cubes acting as nucleation centers, whereas under light irradiation, phoretic interactions compete with magnetic ...
