Fundamental solutions of dynamic poroelasticity and generalized thermoelasticity are derived in the Laplace transform domain. For poroelasticity, these solutions define the solid displacement field and the fluid pressure in fluid-saturated media due to a point force in the solid and an injection of fluid in the pores. In addition, approximate fundamental solutions for short times are derived by...

In most treatments of aqueous "solutions" it is taken for granted that water is present in the liquid state and in excess, with the concentrations of solutes limited by their saturation solubilities. Hence, the thermodynamic reference states are defined as the infinitely dilute solution, a solution of unit molality, etc. In recent years supersaturated aqueous solutions have been receiving incre...

thermal behavior of various solid feldspars are different, namely those of bivalent cations show no change in the distribution of al and si atoms, whereas feldspars of univalent cations become more disordered with raising temperature. in the latter case al atoms migrate from the sites they occupe at low temperatures and interchange positions with the si atoms. at high temperatures (but still be...

This is a short note explaining how to average over a set of calculations at diierent supercell conngurations to give the correct values of thermodynamic quantities for a disordered solid solution.

We demonstrate that a hardening rule exists in cubic solid solutions with various combinations of ionic, covalent and metallic bonding. It is revealed that the hardening stress ∆τFcg is determined by three factors: shear modulus G, the volume fraction of solute atoms fv, and the size misfit degree δb. A simple hardening correlation in KCl-KBr solid-solution is proposed as ∆τFcg = 0.27 G. It is ...
