Deformation characteristics of soil under sequential dynamic torsional and cyclic axial loading
Earthquake-induced structural damages caused due to site effects, soil liquefaction failure, and associated excessive settlement are well-known worldwide. The primary controlling factor responsible for the superstructure’s ...
Effect of Length Scale on High Temperature Mechanical Behavior of Sn-Cu Joints: A Mechanics and Material Science Based Treatment
With the ongoing miniaturization of microelectronic devices, the size of compliant solder in microscale solder joints has significantly reduced, proportion of brittle phases has increased, and the microscale joints have ...
Graphene derivatives sandwiched with porous polyvinylidene fluoride based thin film composite membranes for effective water remediation
Safe drinking water for all is perhaps one of the prime nexus of the 21st century and one of the prime sustainable development goals. Around 1.2 billion people still lack access to safe potable water, while around 2.6 ...
Nonlocal continuum models for plasticity and damage
Nonlocal interactions of material points play a vital role in modelling certain important aspects of inelastic phenomena such as plasticity and damage in solids. For plasticity problems, nonlocal interactions allow ...
Inkjet-Printed Ag Nanomaterials based Strain Sensors for Wearable Sensing Applications
Of late, the demand of wearable sensors has exponentially risen. For example, strain sensors that can be worn and are skin mountable play a significant role in the areas of human motion detection, healthcare, soft robotics, ...
Paper microfluidic tools to improve the sensitivity and dynamic range of point-of-care immunoassays
Over the past decade, developing affordable home-based tests to diagnose infectious diseases has become a pressing need. The lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is the most successfully commercialized point-of-care immunoassay. ...
Investigating Membrane Dynamics And Oligomerization Of Pore-forming Toxins Using Single-molecule Fluorescence Techniques
The biological membrane is a thin fluidic matrix composed of a lipid bilayer that forms the
primary cellular barrier against the extracellular environment. The high-density of embedded
proteins and glycosylated molecules ...
Quasi-Static and Implicit-Dynamic Finite Element Solution of Large Deformation Elastic Adhesive Contacts Using a Volumetric Interaction Scheme
Adhesive forces, mediated by van der Waals’ and other interactions, dominate the contact response in the micron and sub-micron regimes. Understanding adhesion is especially important in biological systems (interaction of ...
Molecular simulation of thermal conductivity in DNA and phonon dispersion in layered materials
Heat conduction plays a key role and is linked to the underneath lattice structure. The heat transfer in soft matter materials like DNA and polymers is seldom understood and is deeply linked to the geometry and functional ...
Biodiesel from Estuarine Microalgae - Diatoms
Rapidly depleting fossil fuel reserves with the burgeoning demand, associated escalating GHG footprint, and changes in the climate necessitated the exploration of alternate sustainable energy resources that are renewable, ...
