(1) The three biopolymers—xanthan gum, guar gum, and carrageenan—can all effectively improve the shear strength characteristics of Guilin red clay. The core mechanism is to form a cementation network ...
This study intends to make clear the effects of the property of base metal, specimen width, sheet thickness and nugget diameter on the initiation life of fatigue crack and the propagation life in ...
In engineering practice, the shear strength of finer grained materials (such as earthfill and tailings) are often characterized through field and laboratory testing. Yet for coarse-grained materials ...
