Study of erosion wear to concrete by different gravel particle sizes: Laboratory test and numerical simulation

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Concrete bridge piers face relentless erosion from Wind Gravel Flow (WGF) in Lanzhou–Xinjiang High–Speed Railway, resulting in pronounced wear on their surfaces, which could potentially induce additional structural defects. This study aims at the erosion

After the Fall: Legacy Effects of Biogenic Structure on Wind-Generated Ecosystem Processes Following Mussel Bed Collapse [PDF]

, 2019
Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) are ecosystem engineers with strong effects on species diversity and abundances. Mussel beds appear to be declining in the Gulf of Maine, apparently due to climate change and predation by the invasive green crab, Carcinus ...

Subaqueous “yardangs”: analogs for aeolian yardang evolution

, 2013
Landforms, morphologically similar to aeolian yardangs but formed by erosion of bedrock by currents on an estuarine rock platform, are described for the first time. The geometries of the “yardangs” are described and related to semi-lemniscate shapes that

Mechanotransducing Organic Electrochemical Diode for Crosstalk‐Inhibited Artificial Skin

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach is presented to a stretchable mechanotransducing diode that unifies rectification and tactile‐sensing functionality. This approach enables to fabricate the diode that maintains a large rectification ratio (5 × 102) at a high operational frequency (100 Hz).

Anomalous Stiffening of a Conjugated Polymer During Electrochemical Oxidation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The electromechanical response of a thienothiophene‐based conjugated polymer with triethylene glycol side chains is investigated. Electrochemical nanoindentation and atomic force microscopy reveal a modest and reversible increase in elastic modulus at room temperature upon electrochemical oxidation.
