Polymer materials subjected to gases at high-pressure can have issues during decompression. For instance, a sudden decompression can promote the formation of cavities inside the material. This phenomenon is known as ...

In Part I of this work we derived a fairly general theory of cavitation in elastomeric solids based on the sudden growth of pre-existing defects. In this article, the theory is used to determine onset-of-cavitation surfaces ...

"The main purpose of this research has been to evaluate and optimize the application of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC), combined with hydrogen peroxide, as a promising process for the effective degradation of cyanide in ...

Objective: This paper introduces a methodology for the non-intrusive detection of von Kármán vortex street cavitation. It is based on the cyclostationary analysis of the airborne noise radiated by the collapsing bubbles. ...

Characterizing drought resistance of forest trees is an important aim in the worldwide context of increasing forest decline and dieback. Furthermore, wood demand is increasing all around the world, urging the need for the ...

It is by now well established that loading conditions with sufficiently large triaxialities can induce the sudden appearance of internal cavities within elastomeric (and other soft) solids. The occurrence of such instabilities, ...
