Charging current densities of solid-state batteries with lithium metal anodes and ceramic
electrolytes are severely limited due to lithium dendrites that penetrate the electrolyte …

Natural resource reservoirs usually consist of heterogeneous aggregated geomaterials
containing a large number of randomly distributed particles with irregular geometry. As a …

Stylolites form by the transportation and precipitation of dissolved materials in pore fluids
due to concentration gradients that develop in rocks under stress. This is a coupled chemical …

Abstract Characterization of the three-dimensional stress field of concrete materials is crucial
to understanding their mechanical properties and failure mechanisms, but their hidden and …

Copper-stainless steel joints are achieved with sound double-sided appearances using Cu-
based, Cu-Ni-based and Fe-based filler metals. The weld zone in the Cu-based filled joint …

Hertzian contact of a rigid sphere and a highly deformable soft solid is investigated using
integrated photoelasticity. The experiments are performed by pressing a styrene sphere of …

A dispersion of stiff and thin ('rigid line') inclusions (RLIs) in a matrix material may result
beneficial for stiffening in the elastic range, but might be detrimental to strength, as material …

The initiation and propagation of a pre-existing three-dimensional (3D) fracture depends on
the magnitude, distribution, and evolution of the full-field stress in the vicinity of the fracture. It …

The stress concentration factor (SCF) along the boundary of a hole and a rigid inclusion in
an infinite isotropic solid under the anti-plane shear is revisited by using degenerate kernels …

Starting from a Cauchy elastic composite with a dilute suspension of randomly distributed
inclusions and characterized at first-order by a certain discrepancy tensor (see part I of the …
