The mechanical properties of electrochemically deposited Li whiskers critically determine the failure mechanisms of Li metal batteries, yet they remain elusive at the single-whisker level. Here, the ...

The relations from which Young's modulus may be computed from mechanical flexural and longitudinal resonance frequencies have been established by an empirical method using two sets of steel bars. Both ...

Circular defects are widely distributed in porous rock materials, and the defects greatly affect the mechanical behavior and crack evolution of rock masses. In this paper, numerical models containing ...

Arches represent a structural system adopted in construction practice for thousand years, and they are still widely adopted if large spans have to be covered. The structural efficiency of arches ...

A number of essential processes in biology and materials science, such as vesicle fusion and fission as well as pore formation, change the membrane topology and require formation of saddle surfaces.

In big and crowded cities with limited urban areas, it is sometimes necessary to build twin tunnels to overcome transportation problems. In a city like Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, tunneling becomes very ...
