Experimental study on wetting deformation characteristics of gravelly soil core materials
A series of single-line wetting deformation tests are carried out on the gravelly soil core materials using a large stress triaxial apparatus to systematically investigate the variation of wetting deformation with stress level and confining pressure ...

THE DEFORMABILITY AND THE WETTING PROPERTIES OF LEUCOCYTES AND ERYTHROCYTES [PDF]
The resistance to deformation of polymorphonuclear neutrophile leucocytes under the conditions of our observations has been shown to be on the average considerably less than the resistance to deformation of large mononuclear leucocytes. It is recognized of course that the viscosity of leucocytes, as of other cells, may be markedly influenced by osmotic

Regelation and the Deformation of Wet Snow [PDF]
Abstract The thermodynamics of phase equilibrium control the temperature distribution around the ice particles in wet snow. When the snow is stressed, pressure melting occurs at the inter-particle contacts and the snow densifies. Densification is described by a physical model which simulates the heat flow, meltwater flow, and particle

Mechanical behavior of granite residual soil during wetting considering effects of initial unloading
The unloading caused by slope excavation may affect soil behavior during the subsequent rainfall-induced wetting. However, the previous wetting tests do not greatly consider this fact.

Large-scale triaxial test study on wetting deformation characteristics of rockfill materials
The wetting of rockfill material can easily lead to the uncoordinated deformation between it and the core wall, thus causing longitudinal cracks at the top of the dam and endangering the safety of the dam.

Large-scale triaxial wetting deformation tests and laws of gravelly soil core materials
Wetting deformation of water storage has always been a technical issue that restricts the long-term safety operation of high earth-rockfill dams. The wetting deformation tests have been commonly carried out for rockfill materials, but seldom for gravelly

Influences of wetting on crushing and compression characteristics of rockfill particles
Wetting deformation of rockfills affects the safety and stability of rockfill dams, which has always been the focus of engineering and academic circles. However, the mechanism of wetting deformation is still not fully understood at present.

Modeling the soil-water retention curves for highly deforming soils [PDF]
A porous-solid model based on the grain and pore size distributions of the soil is coupled with a mechanical model to simulate the soil-water retention curves while the material is deforming. During the determination of the main drying curve, the soil is

Deformation behavior of wet lignocellulosic fibers [PDF]
Abstract The deformation behavior of wet lignocellulosic fibers was examined by applying a dilute suspension of dyed pulp fibers to a filter paper and then wet pressing the fibers onto glass slides. The geometry of single fiber crossing was determined using light interference and an image analysis computer program. The effects of pulp type,
