Experimental investigation on mode-I fracture properties of magnesium-based wood-like material using DIC technique by Li, C, Chen, H, Zhang, H, Marrow, TJ

“…To understand the fracture behaviors of a new environmentally friendly building material, namely magnesium-based wood-like material (MWM), three-point bending tests were carried out on single-edge notched beams to study its fracture properties. Full-field displacements and crack behaviours of the beams were measured using DIC technique and mode-I fracture properties of the MWM were studied. …”

Starvation, ferroptosis, and prodrug therapy synergistically enabled by a cytochrome c oxidase like nanozyme by Cao, Changyu, Yang, Nan, Su, Yan, Zhang, Zheye, Wang, Chenxi, Song, Xuejiao, Chen, Peng, Wang, Wenjun, Dong, Xiaochen

“…Loaded with bioreductive predrug (AQ4N), this Cu-Ag nanozyme unprecedentedly enables simultaneous starvation, ferroptosis, and chemical therapy with high specificity, and is able to totally eliminate tumor and greatly prolong the survival rate for 4T1-tumor-bearing mice. The underlying working mechanism is revealed both experimentally and theoretically.…”

Experimental investigation into load settlement characteristics of piled rafts in sand by Leong, Hazel Xueling.

“…Studies by many notable researchers in the years to come suggest that the most effective combinations of piles and raft happens when all the initial loading can be borne with the raft’s bearing capacity alone. The role of the piles was solely to reduce the excessive settlement experienced by the plain raft.…”

Dense/porous bioceramic composites by Hu, Yifei

“…The pores were designed for bone ingrowth, whereas the graded pores and the dense cores were introduced for load bearing capability. For bone ingrowth, the porous structures must have a high porosity, a high interconnectivity, and a suitable pore size.…”

Mechanics of Three-Dimensional Micro-Architected Interpenetrating Phase Composites by Chen, Andrew Y.

“…We show that independent of the material system, the presence of a load-bearing matrix distributes the stress in the composite, contributing to a high-strength, globally stretchingdominated failure behavior, regardless of nodal connectivity. …”
