A central air bubble is observed to be maintained during the process of an elastic hemi-sphere impacting on a smooth rigid surface. The similar phenomenon has been found in droplet impact in other studies. The effect of air gap between the two solids has b ...
Volume increase between the reactants and the products of alkali silica reaction could reach up to 100%. Taking place inside the aggregates, ASR imposes internal pressure on the surrounding material. In the current paper, we study the possibility of crack ...

Electroactive polymers based on dielectric elastomers are stretchable and compressible capacitors that can act as transducers between electrical and mechanical energies. Depending on the targeted application, soft actuators, sensors or mechanical-energy ha ...

Chains and filler network damage were investigated during single and multiple cycles on a series of vulcanized EPDM containing various filler contents. In both series of experiments, a strain and a filler ratio transitions for damage mechanisms were identi ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of non-thermal plasma (NTP) and heterogeneous photocatalytic processes for indoor air treatment of refrigerated food chambers. Propionic acid and benzene were chosen as target pollutants to simulate o ...

Emissions of ozone precursors have been regulated in Europe since around 1990 with air quality control measures, which resulted in reductions of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds concentrations. In order to understand how these measures have a ...

Air quality measures that were implemented in Europe in the 1990s resulted in reductions of ozone precursor concentrations. In this study, the effect of these reductions on ozone is investigated by analyzing surface measurements of this pollutant for the t ...
The mechanical mismatch between implantable interfaces and neural tissues may be reduced by employing soft polymeric materials. Here, we report on a simple strategy to prepare and pattern a soft electrode coating of neural interfacing devices based on a sc ...
While we fundamentally understand the dynamics of simple cracks propagating in brittle solids within perfect (homogeneous) materials, we do not understand how paths of moving cracks are determined. We experimentally study strongly perturbed cracks that pro ...
