D*kiauaki = Dijkiauaki + /°,% (4) which is Eq. (4.4) of [1], where / is the volume fraction of voids. The average transformation strain, e*, in (4) must, however, be obtained for the case when the stresses (and not the strains) are regarded to be prescribed. Therefore, in the integral equation (2.13) of [1], ek/ must be replaced by ek/ defined by (2) above, if Eq. (4) is used to calculate D*. F...

Structures of two derivatives of the curved fluoradene ring system (C(19)H(12)) have been determined. Both have phases that are highly pseudosymmetric. At room temperature crystals of 7b-triisopropylsilylfluoradene (C(28)H(32)Si) have a P1 cell that contains two independent molecules (Z' = 2) and that is almost centered. Crystals of 7b-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)fluoradene (C(25)H(14)N(2)O(4)) have bot...

Experiments involving vibrating pastes before drying were performed for the purposes of controlling the crack patterns that appear in the drying process. These experiments revealed a transition in the direction of lamellar cracks from perpendicular to parallel when compared with the direction of the initial external vibration as the solid volume fraction of the paste is decreased. This result s...

Dissolution of a trapped non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) in soils and aquifers is a matter of great interest for the remediation of contaminated geological structures. In this work, the Volume Averaging Method is used to upscale the ``active dispersion'' phenomenon, taking into account both dispersion and dissolution of the NAPL. The method provides a macroscopic equation involving a dispersion...

We measure the two-point density correlations and Voronoi cell distributions of cyclically sheared granular spheres obtained with a fluorescence technique and compare them with random packing of frictionless spheres. We find that the radial distribution function g(r) is captured by the Percus-Yevick equation for initial volume fraction ϕ=0.59. However, small but systematic deviations are observ...

Low-energy forward-recoil spectrometry studies show that the interface between polystyrene sAd and a miscible blend of two poly(styrene-co-4-bromostyrene)s sB:Cd has an interfacial excess of B, z B, where B is the component with the lower bromostyrene level. At 170 ±C, z B increases with the bulk volume fraction of B, fB`, has a maximum near 0.25, and then decreases. These results are in qualit...

We propose a unifying rheological framework for dense suspensions of non-Brownian spheres, predicting the onsets of particle friction and particle inertia as distinct shear thickening mechanisms, while capturing quasistatic and soft particle rheology at high volume fractions and shear rates respectively. Discrete element method simulations that take suitable account of hydrodynamic and particle...

The oceans represent a significant global source of atmospheric aerosols. Sea spray aerosol (SSA) particles comprise sea salts and organic species in varying proportions. In addition to size, the overall composition of SSA particles determines how effectively they can form cloud droplets and ice crystals. Thus, understanding the factors controlling SSA composition is critical to predicting aero...

A hybrid mesoscopic multiparticle collision model is used to study diffusion-influenced reaction kinetics. The mesoscopic particle dynamics conserves mass, momentum, and energy so that hydrodynamic effects are fully taken into account. Reactive and nonreactive interactions with catalytic solute particles are described by full molecular dynamics. Results are presented for large-scale, three-dime...
