The debonding behaviour of fibres strongly affects the properties of fibre-reinforced composites. In the literature, two different approaches to the fibre debonding problem have been developed. In strength-based approaches [1-4], interracial debonding is assumed to occur once an interfacial strength is reached. In fracture-based approaches [5-9], the debonded interfacial zone is regarded as a t...

Abstract The velocity structure of the mantle under Baikal Rift Zone (BRZ) is investigated with P‑wave receiver functions (PRFs) for a group 10 seismograph stations. BRZ presents one world’s most active continental rift zones. peculiarities include Cenozoic magmatism in upper southwestern part BRZ, which disappears central and northeastern parts. analysis seismic data reveals other indications ...

In geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2), the buoyant CO2 plume eventually accumulates under the caprock. Due to interfacial tension between the CO2 phase and the water phase, a capillary transition zone develops in the plume. This zone contains supercritical CO2 as well as water with dissolved CO2. Under the plume, a diffusive boundary layer forms. We study how cross-flow between the capi...

Cilia are necessary for normal tissue development and homeostasis and are generally present during interphase, but not in mitosis. The precise mechanism of premitotic ciliary loss has been controversial, with data supporting either sequential disassembly through the transition zone or, alternatively, a severing event at the base of the cilia. Here we show by live cell imaging and immunofluoresc...
