Predicting cement microstructure and mechanical properties in hydrating cement paste with a Phase-Field model
Alexandre Sac-Morane, Katerina Ioannidou, Manolis Veveakis +1
Predicting the evolving microstructure of hydrating cement is essential for understanding and modeling its mechanical property development. Physics-based continuum approaches offer…
Influence of the dividing surface notion on the formulation of Tolman's law
Martin Thomas Horsch
The influence of the surface curvature on the surface tension of small droplets at equilibrium with a surrounding vapour, or small bubbles at equilibrium with a surrounding liquid,…
Loss of memory of an elastic line on its way to limit cycles
Elisabeth Agoritsas, Jonathan Barés
Under an oscillating mechanical drive, an amorphous material progressively forgets its initial configuration and might eventually converge to a limit cycle. Beyond quasistatic driv…
Ion specificity of confined ion-water structuring and nanoscale surface forces in clays
Francis Dragulet, Abhay Goyal, Katerina Ioannidou +2
Ion specificity and related Hofmeister effects, ubiquitous in aqueous systems, can have spectacular consequences in hydrated clays, where ion-specific nanoscale surface forces can…
Experimental validation of a micromechanically-based compaction law for soft/hard grain mixtures
Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, Jonathan Barés, Mathieu Renouf +1
In this letter, we report on an experimental study which analyzes the compressive behavior of 2D bidisperse granular assemblies made of soft (hyperelastic) and hard grains in varyi…
The physics of cement cohesion
Abhay Goyal, Ivan Palaia, Katerina Ioannidou +5
Cement is one of the most produced materials in the world. A major player in greenhouse gas emissions, it is the main binding agent in concrete, to which it provides a cohesive str…
