Different fracture patterns can be observed because of different material properties, even
the geometry and loading are the same. However, most of the known phase-field fracture …

This paper presents simulations of true triaxial tests on crushable granular materials.
Considering both the shear and tensile fracture modes of the particle, the Mohr–Coulomb model …

Thermal analysis is one of the main components in the design and construction of mass
concrete structures. A procedure for a heat-fluid coupling model (HFCM) is presented to …

Breast cancer is the leading cause of women death worldwide. Several long non-coding
RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as oncogenes or tumor suppressors during the …

Background There is a paucity of literature about prognostic evaluation for patients with
breast cancer (BC) and bone metastasis at presentation. To date, little is known about how to …

The improved interpolating moving least-square (IIMLS) method has been widely used in
data fitting and meshfree methods, and the obtained shape functions have the property of the …

Plasma etching treatment is an effective strategy to improve the electrocatalytic activity, but
the improvement mechanism is still unclear. In this work, a nitrogen‐doped carbon nanotube‐…

It has been found that the physical and mechanical properties of rockfill materials deteriorate
when subjected to wetting–drying cycles. Previous studies have mainly focused on the …

The flow of small particles in porous media is of interest in many branches of science. In
geotechnical engineering, this phenomenon usually occurs in graded granular materials and is …

The moving least-square (MLS) method has been popular applied in surface construction
and meshless methods. However, the moment matrix in MLS method may be singular for ill …
