The mechanics of shear failures in RC slabs based on refined measurements

Reinforced concrete planar members, as slabs and shells, are structural elements commonly used in the construction technique, which are typically designed without the arrangement of shear reinforcement. Despite the fact that this solution allows for fast a ...

The breakthrough time of a hydraulic fracture contained between two tough layers

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Carlo Peruzzo, Judith Marie Colette Capron

Hydraulic fracturing is a widespread technology used to enhance reservoir production but also to measure the in-situ stress field. It consists of growing a tensile (mode I) fracture via the injection of a viscous fluid (usually at a constant rate) from a w ...

In situ photopolymerizable hydrogels for intracranial aneurysms treatment

Oriane Poupart

Intracranial aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disease characterized by an artery dilation in the brain. An aneurysm is prone to rupture, which causes a life-threatening subarachnoid hemorrhage. The major drawbacks of the current treatments, open surgical clip ...

Morphogenesis and oxygen dynamics in phototrophic biofilms growing across a gradient of hydraulic conditions

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Amin Niayifar, Anna Depetris, Michael Kühl

Biofilms are surface-attached and matrix-enclosed microbial communities that dominate microbial life in numerous ecosystems. Using flumes and automated optical coherence tomography, we studied the morphogenesis of phototrophic biofilms along a gradient of ...

Shear Response of Wet Weak Carbonate Rock/Grout Interfaces Under Cyclic Loading

Eleni Stavropoulou

The development and construction of offshore wind farms requires the correct estimation of the friction that can be mobilised at the rock/grout interface. In conventional studies, the shear behaviour of a joint is usually investigated with laboratory tests ...

Hysteretic Behaviour of Shear Stud Connectors in Composite Steel Moment‐Resisting Frames

Dimitrios Lignos, Hammad El Jisr

In steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) with composite floor slabs, seismic loads are transmitted from the slab into the beam through shear studs. Shear strength degradation of the studs due to cyclic loading results into the loss of the load transfer mech ...

Hydro-mechanical coupling in porous rocks: hidden dependences to the microstructure?

Lucas Xan Pimienta

While hydro-mechanical coupling in rocks is generally well understood, exotic rock poroelastic responses-such as unexpected dependence to fluid diffusion time and low skeleton moduli-have been reported. Hydro-mechanical coupling, or poroelasticity, explain ...

Mixing and diffusion for rough shear flows

Maria Colombo, Klaus Martin Widmayer

This article addresses mixing and diffusion properties of passive scalars advected by rough (

C^\alpha

) shear flows. We show that in general, one cannot expect a rough shear flow to increase the rate of inviscid mixing to more than that of a smooth shear ...

Considerations for analysis of endothelial shear stress and strain in FSI models of atherosclerosis

Lydia Aslanidou, Fotios Savvopoulos

Atherosclerosis is a lipid driven chronic inflammatory disease that is characterized by the formation of plaques at predilection sites. These predilection sites (side branches, curved segments, and bifurcations) have often been associated with disturbed sh ...

A direct link between active matter and sheared granular systems

Elisabeth Agoritsas

The similarity in mechanical properties of dense active matter and sheared amorphous solids has been noted in recent years without a rigorous examination of the underlying mechanism. We develop a mean-field model that predicts that their critical behavior— ...
