Civil engineering projects typically involve a number of design phases, such as preliminary design, tender design and executive design. The required degree of accuracy for the analysis of the behaviour and strength of the structural members increases as a ...
This paper discusses the Moldovan ‘scientific diaspora’ made up of students, researchers and those engaged in professional activities abroad, and their propensity to either return or engage in home-country development initiatives. Moldova has suffered a sig ...
This paper describes a macroscopic model of the chemo-thermo-poromechanical behaviour of a hydrating cement paste. The hydrating cement is viewed as an open hardening porous medium. The increments of elastic and viscoelastic strain, pore pressure, temperat ...
Model-based mono-planar and bi-planar 3D fluoroscopy methods can quantify intact joints kinematics with performance/cost trade-off. The aim of this study was to compare the performances of mono- and bi-planar setups to a marker-based gold-standard, during ...
We calculate band-to-band radiative transition rate spectra in pure Ge as functions of applied tensile strain, heavy doping, charge injection density, and temperature. Direct and indirect phonon-assisted transitions are considered. Deformation potential th ...
Micro/nano robots have the potential to revolutionize many aspects of medicine. These untethered, wirelessly controlled and powered devices will make existing therapeutic and diagnostic procedures less invasive and will enable new procedures never before p ...
This paper presents experimental analysis and numerical modelling aimed at improved understanding and prediction of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of volcanic ash at various states of saturation. Results from a comprehensive experimental program are presen ...
Flexoelectricity-the coupling between polarization and strain gradients-is a universal effect allowed by symmetry in all materials. Following its discovery several decades ago, studies of flexoelectricity in solids have been scarce due to the seemingly sma ...
Randomly spread fibroblasts on fibronectin-coated elastomeric membranes respond to cyclic strain by a varying degree of focal adhesion assembly and actin reorganization. We speculated that the individual shape of the cells, which is linked to cytoskeletal ...
Effects of non-uniform strains on tensile fracture of fiber-reinforced ceramic–matrix composites have not been satisfactorily explained by existing mechanics-based models. In this paper, we use an exact model of fiber fragmentation under global load sharin ...
