Thrust wedges and fluid overpressures: Sandbox models involving pore fluids

Deformation of brittle-ductile thrust wedges in experiments and nature

[1] Even though the rheology of thrust wedges is mostly frictional, a basal ductile decollement is often involved. By comparison with purely frictional wedges, such brittleductile wedges generally display anomalous structures such as backward vergence, widely spaced thrust units, and nonfrontward sequences of thrust development. Laboratory experiments are used here to study the deformation of b...

Viscous Models Comparison in Water Impact of Twin 2D Falling Wedges Simulation by Different Numerical Solvers

In this paper, symmetric water entry of twin wedges is investigated for deadrise angle of 30 degree. Three numerical simulation of a symmetric impact, considering rigid body dynamic equations of motion in two-phase flow is presented. The two-phase flow around the wedges is solved by Finite Element based on Finite Volume method (FEM-FVM) which is used in conjunction with Volume of Fluid (VOF) sc...

Design of Analog Circuits on Glass Substrate

In the near future, the liquid crystal display (LCD) fabricated in the low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) process is promising toward system-on-panel (SOP) or system-on-glass (SOG) applications, especially for achieving a compact, low-cost, and low-power display system. Therefore, it has a tendency towards integrating digital and analog circuits on the glass substrate. In this paper, an on-gla...

Preparation of Nanofibrous Structure of Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Microbeads for Biomedical Applications

A highly ordered, mesoporous (pore size 2~50 nm) bioactive glass (MBG) structure has a greater surface area and pore volume and excellent bone-forming bioactivity compared with traditional bioactive glasses (BGs). Hence, MBGs have been used in drug delivery and bone tissue engineering. MBGs can be developed as either a dense or porous block. Compared with a block, microbeads provide greater fle...
