For the last 50 years, the flow of a granular material through an aperture has been intensely studied in gravity-driven vertical systems (e.g., silos and hoppers). Nevertheless, in many industrial applications, grains are ...

Laboratory study of slope stability of granular media remains a challenge for modeling, understanding, and predicting natural hazards, such as avalanches and landslides, precursory signs of which are controlled by numerous ...

This work correlates the resistance of concrete cores with the physical properties of the granular material forming it. A basic physical characterization is conducted, taking into account the origin of the grains involved ...

Copper supported on Engelhard Titanosilicate-2 (ETS-2) showed to be a promising adsorbent for deep H2S removal (to sub-ppm levels) for gas purification applications at room temperature. Because of the high external surface ...

The grain size is a determinant microstructural feature to enable the activation of deformation twinning in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals. Although deformation twinning is one of the most effective mechanisms for ...

This study aims to evaluate the effect of packaging system, including packaging materials with low, medium, and high oxygen permeance (OP), with or without initial atmosphere modification (IAM: 5kPaO2–10kPaCO2–85kPaN2) on ...
