In order to better understand and predict the intragrain heterogeneous deformation in a 6063 aluminum alloy deformed at an elevated temperature, when additional slip systems beyond the usual octahedral slip systems are active, a modeling framework for analyzing representative polycrystals under these conditions is presented. A model polycrystal that has a similar microstructure to that observed...

We demonstrate a rupture front focusing phenomenon at the initial stage of earthquake, which causes high slip rate pulses and therefore generates high frequency seismic waves. In this computation, we assume a pre-slip region, where stress has already lowered quasi-statically to the dynamic friction level. And due to the pre-slip, we suppose a stress concentration at the edge of pre-slip area. T...

Adsorption is considered to be one of the most effective technologies widely used in global environmental protection areas. Modeling of experimental adsorption isotherm data is an essential way for predicting the mechanisms of adsorption, which will lead to an improvement in the area of adsorption science. In this paper, we employed three isotherm models, namely: Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubin...

With the advent of microscale and nanoscale devices, the Navier-slip boundary condition as a macroscale model of fluid behaviour at a solid wall has seen renewed interest. The penalty concept and variational formulation are extended here to treat partial slip and related boundary conditions in viscous flow simulation. An analysis of the penalty partial-slip formulation permits us to relate it t...

an important concern in rock mechanics is non-homogeneity as joints or fault. this noticeable feature of failures in rock is appearance of slip surfaces or shear bands, the characteristics of that are associated with deformation being concentrated in a narrow zones and the surrounding material remaining intact. adopting the joints as fractures, fractures are well known for their effects on the ...

Internal recirculation in a moving droplet, enforced by the presence of fluid–fluid interfaces, plays an important role in several droplet-based microfluidic devices as it could enhance mixing, heat transfer, and chemical reaction. The effect of slip on droplet circulation is studied for two canonical steady-state problems: two-phase Couette, boundary-driven, and Poiseuille, pressure/body force...

We first observed an unique pyrene (Py) emission from 10-(1-(6-hexyl)pyrenyl)decanoic acid (1,6-HPDA) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. In the fluorescence spectra of the 1,6-HPDA LB films, the normal bands of monomer and excimer emission of Py were absent but the new structured emission band with peaks at Manuscript

The Mw 7.9, Denali fault earthquake (DFE) is the largest continental strike-slip earthquake to occur since the development of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). We use five interferograms, constructed using radar images from the Canadian Radarsat-1 satellite, to map the surface deformation at the western end of the fault rupture. Additional geodetic data are provided by displacem...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the capacity of natural Turkish zeolite for NH4-N removal from landfill leachate. The effects of modification and initial concentration on the removal of NH4-N from leachate were also investigated. The kinetics of adsorption of NH4-N has been discussed using three kinetic models, i.e., the pseudo-second order model, the Elovich equation, the intrapart...
