Micromechanics-based thermo-hydro-mechanical model for air-entrained porous materials subjected to freezing-thawing cycles by Weiqi Guo, Yang Wu, Mingkun Jia, Zhihong Ma, Jinyang Jiang, Wenxiang Xu

“…The freeze-thaw (FT) behavior of porous materials (PMs) involves the coupling of the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes and is significantly influenced by the microstructure. However, modeling FT in unsaturated PMs remains an open issue, and the influence of microstructure is not yet fully understood. …”

Influence of white etching layer on rolling contact behavior at wheel-rail interface by Qinglin Lian, Guanyu Deng, Hongtao Zhu, Huijun Li, Xi Wang, Zhiming Liu

“…Stress changes along the rail depth matched with the previously reported microstructure evolutions. The current work revealed that the maximum difference in contact stress between the wheel passages of rail matrix and the WEL region (noted as stress variation) rises with the increase of loading pressure, the value of a/b, and Sr; but drops with the friction coefficient (μ). …”
