The family of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides, known as MXenes, has grown from a single composition in 2011 to ~50-composition family. With large number possible transition metals their combinations, four 2D thickness ranges for flake, tunable surface chemistry the capability hosting species between flakes, MXenes can be considered one most amendable ...

Having knowledge of stability of an underground space depends on stresses and strains around it. Creating underground tunnels leads to significant changes in the rock mass stress. Therefore, to achieve the necessary stability, stresses and deformations around the tunnel must be examined carefully. Usually, stress-strain behavior analysis is conducted in two-dimensional mode. This paper was cond...
