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 "…
