Understand the importance of glass transition temperature (Tg) for adhesive materials and how it influences their suitability for specific applications.

This study presents a numerical approach to estimate the elastic properties of filler-modified asphalt binders using 2D and 3D micro-mechanical modeling and homogenization principles. A three-phase ...

Running is a spring-loaded sport—and no, I’m not just referring to the springy, carbon-plated super shoes that have swept the running world in recent years. Muscles and tendons themselves act like ...

Rock mechanical properties are characterized by rock mechanics parameters, including elastic parameters such as elastic modulus and Poisson ratio and strength parameters such as compressive strength, ...

Figure 1b presents the mass changes of concrete specimens in group FT-C-F2. In the first stage, all specimens exhibited mass similar increases within the 50th freeze-thaw cycle, particularly, from the ...

These are Excel files containing the x and y coordinates along with the corresponding Spatial Dynamic Elastic Modulus on the plane of isolated unit bricks. These modulus values were computed from the ...

ABSTRACT: Based on complex variable theory, this study investigates the scattering of SH-waves by a circular inclusion in exponentially inhomogeneous media with nanoscale-dependent density and modulus ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...

ABSTRACT: The global awareness and utilization of superplasticizers (SPs) in concrete have significantly contributed to developing resilient and sustainable infrastructure. Despite this, many ...
