Tunnel deformation induced by excavation in brittle and quasi-brittle rock masses involves complex interactions among stress redistribution, plastic deformation, and fracture evolution. Existing numerical approaches often struggle to capture these co...
This study presents a peridynamic model formulated using the micromodulus function and bond deformation. The model is derived by establishing energy equivalence between a modified virtual internal bond (VIB) and a peridynamic bond. To address surface...
The extended finite element method (XFEM) was employed for the computational modeling of internal defects within a bond layer. Furthermore, a cohesive zone model (CZM) was implemented to characterize the behavior of the bond layer in response to inte...
Hydraulic fracturing experimentation is an essential tool for understanding the application of hydraulic fracturing in producing hydrocarbons from unconventional reservoirs. Laboratory testing methods such as uniaxial, biaxial, and true triaxial test...
The high-temperature rutting performance of asphalt mixtures is strongly dependent on the aggregate skeleton and particle movement under loading. Such mechanisms were addressed in the present study by a combined experimental and simulation approach b...
Janus Sb and Bi monolayers as a new class of 2D topological insulator materials, which could be fulfilled by asymmetrical functionalizations with methyl or hydroxyl, are demonstrated by first-principles spin–orbit coupling (SOC) electronic stru...
The high interest in the prediction of the intestinal absorption for New Chemical Entities (NCEs) is generated by the increasing rate in the synthesis of compounds by combinatorial chemistry and the extensive cost of the traditional evaluation method...
Despite the recent promising results of MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine) as a psychotherapeutic agent and its history of misuse, little is known about its molecular mode of action. MDMA enhances monoaminergic neurotransmission in the brain a...
Phonon and spintronic structures of monolayered Janus vanadium-dichalcogenide compounds are calculated by the first-principles schemes of pseudopotential plane-wave based on spin-density functional theory, to study dynamic structural stability and el...
