Modeling of rough contact interfaces with trapped compressive liquid pockets

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Parissasadat Alavi, Julie Richard, Loris Rocchi

Boundary and mixed lubrication are usually used to reduce friction in sheet metal form- ing. In the boundary lubrication regime load is mainly carried by contacting asperities. Therefore, the tribological problem can be solved in the dry case using a geome ...

Magmatic Intrusions From a Hydraulic Fracture Modeling Perspective

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri

The emplacement of magmatic intrusions in the earth’s crust has been investigated for decades. The driving mechanism is the density difference between the fluid and the rock. In the absence of heterogeneities, this difference creates a constant buoyancy fo ...

Tracing of Human Tumor Cell Lineages by Mitochondrial Mutations

Stephan Morgenthaler, Paul Refinetti, Per Olaf Ekstrom

Background Previous studies have shown the value in studying lineage tracing in slices of human tumors. However, a tumor is not a two-dimensional structure and to better understand how a tumor, and its corresponding metastasis grow, a three-dimensional (3- ...

The Delivery of alpha 1-Antitrypsin Therapy Through Transepidermal Route: Worthwhile to Explore

Florian Maria Wurm

Human alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) is an abundant acute phase glycoprotein expressing anti-protease and immunomodulatory activities, and is used as a biopharmaceutical to treat patients with inherited AAT deficiency. The pleiotropic properties of AAT provide ...

Buckling of pressurized spherical shells containing a through-thickness defect

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Matteo Pezzulla, Dong Yan

We present a study on the pressure buckling of thin, elastic spherical shells containing a thickness defect. Methodologically, we combine precision model experiments, finite element simulations, and a reduced axisymmetric shell model. We observe qualitativ ...

A double-structure hydromechanical constitutive model for compacted bentonite.

Lyesse Laloui, Yafei Qiao

This paper presents a double-structure elastoplastic constitutive model that can describe the hydromechanical behavior of compacted bentonite. The model is formulated based on a new developed double-structure hydromechanical framework that consists of four ...

Volume change characteristics of fine-grained soils due to sequential thermo-mechanical stresses

Alessio Ferrari, Rakshith Shetty

Know-how of volume change characteristics, VCC, of the fine-grained soils, exposed to thermal stresses, is essential for design of various thermo-active structures. These stresses are known to induce excess pore-water pressure, Δu θ , in the saturated stat ...

The underappreciated role of nonvolatile cations in aerosol ammonium-sulfate molar ratios

Athanasios Nenes, Hairun Guo

Overprediction of fine-particle ammonium-sulfate molar ratios (R) by thermodynamic models is suggested as evidence for interactions with organic constituents that inhibit the equilibration of gas-phase ammonia with aerosol sulfate and questions the equilib ...

Experimental investigation of the sloshing motion of the water free surface in the draft tube of a Francis turbine operating in synchronous condenser mode

François Avellan, Elena Vagnoni, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Loïc Andolfatto

Hydropower units may be required to operate in condenser mode to supply reactive power. In this operating mode, the water level in the turbine or pump-turbine is decreased below the runner by closing the guide vanes and injecting pressurized air. While ope ...

Three-dimensional phase-field study of grain coarsening and grain shape accommodation in the final stage of liquid-phase sintering

Liesbeth Maria L Vanherpe

A 3-dimensional phase-field model is implemented to simulate the grain evolution in the final stage of liquid-phase sintering. The model considers a liquid phase and a polycrystalline solid phase. Results for varying ratios of the solid-solid interface ene ...
