The Influence of Loading Path on Fault Reactivation:a Laboratory Perspective

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Carolina Giorgetti

The loading path the fault experiences is often neglected when evaluating its potential for reactivation and the related seismic risk. However, stress history affects fault zone compaction and dilation, and thus its mechanics. Therefore, in incohesive faul ...

Engineering long-term stability into perovskite solar cells via application of a multi-functional TFSI-based ionic liquid

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Andreas Züttel, Zhaofu Fei, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Bin Ding, Bing Zhang, Yi Zhang, Hiroyuki Kanda, Wen Luo

Organic-inorganic metal-halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved a certified power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.5%. However, long-term stability and air stability of the PSCs are still major concerns and hamper commercialization. Herein, we ...

Magneto-active elastic shells with tunable buckling strength

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Matteo Pezzulla, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi

Shell buckling is central in many biological structures and advanced functional materials, even if, traditionally, this elastic instability has been regarded as a catastrophic phenomenon to be avoided for engineering structures. Either way, predicting crit ...

Measuring and modeling the motor system with machine learning

Alexander Mathis, Mackenzie Mathis, Alessandro Marin Vargas

The utility of machine learning in understanding the motor system is promising a revolution in how to collect, measure, and analyze data. The field of movement science already elegantly incorporates theory and engineering principles to guide experimental w ...

Load transfer approach for the geotechnical analysis of energy piles in a group with slab

Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera, Melis Sütman

Thermally induced group effects characterise closely spaced energy piles. It has been observed experimentally that the behaviour of energy piles subjected to mechanical and thermal loads, in which the piles are located sufficiently close to each other, is ...

Cyclic thermomechanical response of fine-grained soil-concrete interface for energy piles applications

Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera, Melis Sütman

Understanding the behaviour of soil-structure interfaces is critical for addressing the analysis and design of energy geostructures. In this study, the interface failure mechanism of energy piles (where a shear band is detached from the surrounding soil th ...
