Abstract: Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) extends the conventional nano-indentation technique and has become one of the most widely used methods to determine the properties of small scale piezoelectric materials. Its accuracy ...

Abstract: Matric suction tends to exert important effects on the stability of geosynthetic-reinforced soil slopes; however, it is usually neglected in the previously published literature. To quantitatively evaluate the increment in ...

Abstract: Solutions are presented for the surface strain fields on inflated elastomeric circular diaphragms used for in vitro cell stressing experiments. It is shown, by using the method developed by Way ...

Abstract: The effects of some of the factors which influence fatigue strength of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2 ) filled cast nylon (type 6) gears such as diametral pitch, pressure angle, pitch line velocity, ...

Abstract: In the Different Models, Same Initial Conditions (DIMOSIC) project, forecasts from different global medium-range forecast models have been created based on the same initial conditions. The dataset consists of 10-day ...
