The adsorption potential in the interior of an infinite nanopore along the z-axis, with varying radius R(z), is derived as a function of a deformation parameter. Detailed calculations for a carbon nanotube indicate that ...

The contraction of surfactant-laden pores at the microscale has implications fornatural and technological processes ranging from the collapse of channels in lipid mem-branes to the stability of foams in the food processing ...

In order to improve the understanding of the influence of rainfall intensity on infiltration and deformation behavior of unsaturated soil slopes, numerical 2D analyses are carried out by a three-phase elasto-viscoplastic ...

Megathrust earthquakes are responsible for some of the most devastating natural disasters(1). To better understand the physical mechanisms of earthquake generation, subduction zones worldwide are continuously monitored ...

Considering the thermodynamic grand potential for more than one adsorbate in an isothermal system, we generalize the model of adsorption-induced deformation of microporous carbons developed by Kowalczyk et al. [1]. We ...

7–109 s−1 using molecular dynamics simulations. We consider the low-porosity regime (porosity of ∼5%), which is characterized by several stages of plastic deformation. At the onset of plasticity, pores act as if isolated ...

Structural masonry is an important and competitive construction system, as it is rational, flexible, fast and efficient. Despite being one of the oldest construction processes, only in recent years has this system been ...
