Theory of Freezing Point Depression in Charged Porous Media
Tingtao Zhou, Mohammad Mirzadeh, Dimitrios Fraggedakis +2
Freezing in charged porous media can induce significant pressure and cause damage to tissues and functional materials. We formulate a thermodynamically consistent theory to model f…
Multiscale Poromechanics of Wet Cement Paste
Tingtao Zhou, Katerina Ioannidou, Franz-Josef Ulm +2
Capillary effects such as imbibition-drying cycles impact the mechanics of granular systems over time. A multiscale poromechanics framework was applied to cement paste, that is the…
Freezing point depression and freeze-thaw damage by nano-fuidic salt trapping
Tingtao Zhou, Mohammad Mirzadeh, Roland J. -M. Pellenq +1
A remarkable variety of organisms and wet materials are able to endure temperatures far below the freezing point of bulk water. Cryo-tolerance in biology is usually attributed to "…
Particle dynamics simulation of wet granulation in a rotating drum
Thanh Trung Vo, Saeid Nezamabadi, Patrick Mutabaruka +4
We simulate the granulation process of solid spherical particles in the presence of a viscous liquid in a horizontal rotating drum by using molecular dynamics simulations in three…
Phase separation of stable colloidal clusters
Thomas Petersen, Martin Z. Bazant, Roland J. M. Pellenq +1
This Article presents a nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory for the mean-field precipitation, aggregation and pattern formation of colloidal clusters. A variable gradient energy co…
Capillary stress and structural relaxation in moist granular materials
Tingtao Zhou, Katerina Ioannidou, Enrico Masoero +3
We propose a theoretical framework to calculate capillary stresses in complex mesoporous materials, such as moist sand, nanoporous hydrates, and drying colloidal films. Molecular s…
