Atherogenesis and plaque rupture, surface/interface-related phenomena by Siegel, G., Berkholz, J., Klüßendorf, D., Knosalla, C., Zakrzewicz, A., Ermilov, E., Malmsten, M., Lindman, Bjorn

“…TGFβ furthers also calcification, so that fibrous cap tensile strength and resistance to shear stress are imparted. This way, a plaque rupture may possibly be averted.…”

Self-organized canals enable long-range directed material transport in bacterial communities by Li, Ye, Liu, Shiqi, Zhang, Yingdan, Seng, Zi Jing, Xu, Haoran, Yang, Liang, Wu, Yilin

“…Using Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonies as a model system, we discover that a large-scale and temporally evolving open-channel system spontaneously develops in the colony via shear-induced banding. Fluid flows in the open channels support high-speed (up to 450 µm/s) transport of cells and outer membrane vesicles over centimeters, and help to eradicate colonies of a competing species Staphylococcus aureus. …”

A molecular dynamics simulation to shed light on the mechanical alloying of an Al-Zr alloy induced by severe plastic deformation by Morkina, Alina Y., Babicheva, Rita I., Korznikova, Elena A., Enikeev, Nariman A., Edalati, Kaveh, Dmitriev, Sergey V.

“…It is revealed that orientation of the grain boundary with segregation normal to the shear direction promotes more efficient mixing of alloy components compared to its parallel arrangement. …”

Net section fracture of aluminium alloy angle-to-plate connections: testing, modelling and design by Jiang, Ke, Li, Shuai, Guo, Tong, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…The test setup, procedures and key obtained results, including failure loads, load–elongation curves, failure modes and strain distributions at failure cross-sections were reported. The shear lag effect and influences of the out-of-plane eccentricity, in-plane eccentricity, connection length and type of the connected leg on the net section efficiency were discussed. …”

Micro-engineered perfusable 3D vasculatures for cardiovascular diseases by Menon, Nishanth Venugopal, Tay, Hui Min, Wee, Soon Nan, Li, King Ho Holden, Hou, Han Wei

“…Whole blood was perfused (1-10 dyne cm-2) into the microdevices and distinct platelet and leukocyte adherence patterns were observed due to increased shear stresses at the constriction, and an additional convective flow through the collagen. …”

A network-based approach to interpreting pore blockage and cake filtration during membrane fouling by Han, Qi, Li, Weiyi, Trinh, Thien An, Liu, Xin, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Although limited fouling cases were examined in the current study, it is expected that the network model developed here can be readily applied to study more complex phenomena involved in a membrane filtration process (e.g., shear-induced diffusion), and the associated insights would be significantly enhanced when coupled with more advanced fouling characterization techniques (e.g., Optical Coherence Tomography).…”

Remarkably enhanced thermal transport based on a flexible horizontally-aligned carbon nanotube array film by Qiu, Lin, Wang, Xiaotian, Su, Guoping, Tang, Dawei, Zheng, Xinghua, Zhu, Jie, Wang, Zhiguo, Norris, Pamela M., Bradford, Philip D., Zhu, Yuntian

“…Here we report a simultaneous sevenfold increase in in-plane thermal conductivity and a fourfold reduction in the thermal contact resistance at the flexible CNT-SiO2 coated heat sink interface by coupling the CNTs with orderly physical overlapping along the horizontal direction through an engineering approach (shear pressing). The removal of empty space rapidly increases the density of transport channels, and the replacement of the fine CNT tips with their cylindrical surface insures intimate contact at CNT-SiO2 interface. …”
