Computational rheometry of yielding and viscoplastic flow in vane-and-cup rheometer fixtures by Chaparian, Emad, Owens, Crystal E., McKinley, Gareth H.

“…This results in the shearing of an almost-circular ring of viscoplastic fluid that is indistinguishable from the annular ring of fluid deformed around a slip-free rotating cylindrical bob and leads to more accurate rheometric measurements of the material flow curve. …”

Recovery of Herschel-Bulkley Fluid Parameters from Video via Differentiable Simulations by Eastman, John M.

“…Our approach aims to accurately recover physical parameters and achieve high-fidelity 3D reconstructions from single-view videos of fluids, even those with complex rheological behaviors like shear thinning and thickening. In this study, we apply our method to a Herschel-Bulkley fluid, namely ketchup, under two different real-world conditions: a 50mm column collapse and being squeezed from a bottle. …”

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.…”

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. …”

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).…”

Strain engineering of antimonene by a first-principles study : mechanical and electronic properties by Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Kistanov, Andrey A., Cai, Yongqing, Xue, Ming, Zhou, Kun

“…The upper region of its valence band is found to solely consist of lone pair p-orbital states, which are by nature more delocalized than the d-orbital states in transition metal dichalcogenides, implying superior transport performance of antimonene. The Young's and shear moduli of β-antimonene are observed to be ∼25% higher than those of bulk antimony, while the hexagonal lattice constant of the monolayer reduces significantly (∼5%) from that in bulk, indicative of strong interlayer coupling. …”

Efficacy of riprap design for protection of quay structures against propeller-induced scouring by Tan, Qin Xiang

“…Rock stability tests were conducted to determine the critical efflux velocity of the propeller jet when shear failure of the riprap was observed. The critical efflux velocity measured from the experiments were subsequently compared with the critical efflux velocity predicted using the German and Dutch methods. …”

Organic solvent-assisted control of hydrogel structures and properties by Zhou, Quan

“…This became possible for the following two reasons: 1) the addition of ethanol makes SA solution exhibit the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior in which gelation occurred when the temperature was reduced below the sol-to-gel transition temperature, and 2) the presence of ethanol significantly increased the viscosity of SA solution and enhanced its shear-thinning feature, thus making it ideal for 3D printing. …”

Computation fluid dynamics on drag reduction II by Zang, Bin

“…Five RANS turbulence models: Spalart-Allmaras (Vorticity-based production); Spalart-Allmaras (Strain / Vorticity-based production); k-ε Standard (Enhanced Wall Treatment); k-ε Realizable (Enhanced Wall Treatment) and k-ω Standard (Shear Flow Correction), are chosen after comparing with DNS data published by Moser et al (1999). [20] Subsequently, the single and multiple dimpled channel flows are modeled and simulated by the five RANS models chosen in the verification stage with periodic boundary condition, a Reynolds number of 20000, and a three-dimensional channel of L = 1.5 m, B = 0.454 m and H = 1 m. …”

Structure-activity relationships of photo-activated soft tissue Adhesive by Wicaksono, Gautama

“…Finally, to demonstrate potential applications, the proposed CaproGlu bioadhesive is mixed with osseointegrative additive to form a bone cement biocomposite using a model PMMA pin that allows biocomposite curing through a transparent light guide, with resulting lap shear strength up to 40 kPa. Overall, this diazirine-based adhesive system demonstrates a novelty in adhesive design where excellent tunability in material properties can be achieved by modifying composition (adding liquid polymer or solid particles) and light activation parameters (power, wavelength) with direct application towards soft and hard tissue adhesion.…”
