Analysis of the presence of bonding defects on the fracture behavior of a damaged plate repaired by composite patch by Kaddouri Nadia, Kouider Madani, Mohammed Amine Bellali, Xavier Feaugas

“…Our work fits in this context; the objective is to analyze by the method of finite elements the behavior in the rupture of a damaged plate in the presence of defect of bonding. The analysis of J-Integral and stresses in the tow substrates adhesive and patch shows clearly that their values depends strongly on the position of the default essentially when it�s located close to the free edge of the free edge of the adhesive or the crack.…”

Reversibly thermosecreting and convertible lubricative oil-in-water mixtures using multiple hydrogen bonding interactions by Qianhui Zhou, Mingfei Li, Weiyan Yu, Yunjing Wang, Yujie Yang, Jingcheng Hao, Lu Xu

“…Here we show that very stable oil-in-water mixtures can be created even at very high oil volume fractions by building multiple, high-strength hydrogen bonding interactions between water and a biocompatible and biodegradable oil trimethylolpropane trioleate, which make the oil molecules at the contact interface behave as pseudo-surfactants with ultrahigh interfacial activity. …”
