We perform quantitative measurements of the actual area of contact, A, formed by two rough solids that are subjected to different normal loading protocols. We show that microscopic motion, induced by Poisson contraction or expansion, produces a strong memory dependence of on the loading history with a large corresponding influence on the system's frictional strength. These effects, together wit...

Electric vehicle battery systems are easily deformed following bottom or side pillar collisions. There is a knowledge gap regarding the fault features of minor mechanical deformation without ISC, which can be used for early warning deformation. In this study, lithium-ion module under different degrees were studied from perspective voltage consistency. The results show that capacity declines wit...

This paper proposes a framework for the constitutive model based on the semi-micromechanical aspects of plasticity, including damage progress for simulating behavior of concrete under multiaxial loading. This model is aimed to be used in plastic and fracture analysis of both regular and reinforced concrete structures, for the framework of sample plane crack approach. This model uses multilamina...

BACKGROUND Hyperglycaemic load has been shown to cause endothelial dysfunction in patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus or the pre-diabetic state of glucose intolerance. In the non-disease state such as in healthy subjects, the effect of glucose loading is still uncertain with conflicting results. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that an oral 75 g glucose load will not adver...
