Suitable hydrogel materials for cartilage tissue repair should exhibit high strength and toughness, and excellent biocompatibility. However, the mechanical properties of most hydrogels cannot meet the ...

Fibers are ubiquitous in nature. They are the building blocks of various advanced materials and natural structures, such as the cytoskeleton, artificial muscles, filamentous bacteria, DNA, carbon ...

Polymers are often employed in engineering designs because of their ability to damp out shock and vibration. A material’s ability to elastically store energy is characterized by the storage modulus (E ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the influence of the joint of hexagonal honeycomb structures on the in-plane equivalent elastic modulus and resilience ability. Firstly, a series of honeycomb samples ...

We demonstrate that the static elastic properties of a carbonate sample, comprised of dolomite and calcite, could be accurately predicted by Digital Rock Physics (DRP), a non-invasive testing method ...

ABSTRACT: This study focuses on developing pervious concrete mixtures that have higher compressive strengths than conventional pervious concrete. This study also focuses on producing high strength ...

It provides a low-cost alternate solution to crushing natural raw materials. Crushed concrete aggregate makes projects sustainable Concrete produced with crushed concrete aggregate has smaller carbon ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Abstract: This research focuses on revealing the effect of size and shape of Ag particles for mechanical properties of no-pressure sintered Ag by using micro-compression test. Specimens were ...
