Numerical Simulation of Shear Behavior and Permeability Evolution of Rock Joints with Variable Roughness and Infilling Thickness by Jingyi Cheng, Hongwei Zhang, Zhijun Wan

“…In this study, we simulate the shear behavior of rock joints with variable roughness and sand infilling thickness using the discrete element code PFC2D. Rock joint roughness is evaluated by the joint roughness coefficient (JRC), and sand infilling thickness is evaluated by a thickness ratio (i.e., ratio of infill thickness to rock height) ranging from 0.02 to 0.20. …”

Variation of stress intensity factor and elastic T-stress along the crack-front in finite thickness plates by S. K. Kudari, K. G. Kodancha

“…In this investigation, three-dimensional finite element analyses have been conducted to compute the elastic T-stress considering a single edge notched tensile (SENT) specimen with varied thickness and a/W ratio. The results indicate that the T-stress depends on the specimen thickness and significantly varies along the crackfront from surface to centre of the specimen. …”

Color Stability of the Bulk-Fill Composite Resins with Different Thickness in Response to Coffee/Water Immersion by Sayna Shamszadeh, Seyedeh Mahsa Sheikh-Al-Eslamian, Elham Hasani, Ahmad Najafi Abrandabadi, Narges Panahandeh

“…We aimed to evaluate the color stability of bulk-fill and conventional composite resin with respect to thickness and storage media. Twenty specimens of a conventional composite resin (6 mm diameter and 2 mm thick) and 40 specimens of the bulk-fill Tetric EvoCeram composite resin at two different thicknesses (6 mm diameter and 2 mm thick or 4 mm thick, n=20) were prepared. …”
