Abstract: Cells are subjected to cyclic loads under physiological conditions, which regulate cellular structures and functions. Recently, it was demonstrated that cells on substrates reoriented nearly perpendicular to the stretch ...

Abstract: The stability of a bond cluster upon oscillated loads under physiological conditions is strongly regulated by the kinetics of association and dissociation of a single bond, which can play critical roles in cell–matrix ...

Abstract: Parallel joints are ubiquitous in geological rock mass and seriously affect rock excavation in underground mining and civil engineering. In this study, the propagation characteristics of shock waves subjected to blasting ...
