Increased Moisture Uptake of NCM622 Cathodes after Calendering due to Particle Breakage

Milled Rice Breakage Due to Environmental Conditions

Cereal Chem. 75(1):149–152 Milled, long-grain rice was exposed to air at temperatures (T) of 20, 30, and 40°C, and relative humidities (RH) ranging from 25 to 85%. The kernels then were subjected to a breakage test to determine the extent of damage that occurred during each exposure condition. Increasing air T levels produced higher amounts of broken kernels across the RH range. Milled rice at ...

Myocardial contractile depression from high-frequency vibration is not due to increased cross-bridge breakage.

Experiments were conducted in 10 isolated rabbit hearts at 25°C to test the hypothesis that vibration-induced depression of myocardial contractile function was the result of increased cross-bridge breakage. Small-amplitude sinusoidal changes in left ventricular volume were administered at frequencies of 25, 50, and 76.9 Hz. The resulting pressure response consisted of a depressive response [ΔPd...

Parametric dependence of particle breakage mechanisms

It has been observed that the pattern of particle impact breakage in two-dimensional systems is a result of two mechanisms. AMechanism IB accounts for the breakage induced by the stresses that appear in unbroken particles. AMechanism IIB breakage is due to the buckling of the Mechanism I fragments. The purpose of this paper is to try and understand the parameters that govern the magnitude of th...

Computer simulation of impact-induced particle breakage

The breakage induced in single circular particles that impact on solid plates has been studied using a two-dimensional simulation of solid fracture. The simulation allows the computer 'experimenter' to vary independently material properties such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and work of fracture, flexibility that is unavailable in direct experimentation. Where comparison is possible, the ...
