Spatially confined rigid membranes reorganize their morphology in response to imposed
constraints. Slight compression of a rigid membrane resting on a soft foundation creates a …

Drying complex fluids is a common phenomenon where a liquid phase transforms into a
dense or porous solid. This transformation involves several physical processes, such as the …

We study the genesis and the selective propagation of complex crack networks induced by
thermal shock or drying of brittle materials. We use a quasistatic gradient damage model to …

Planetary Surface Processes is the first advanced textbook to cover the full range of geologic
processes that shape the surfaces of planetary-scale bodies. Using a modern, quantitative …

Swelling is a volumetric-growth process in which a porous material expands by
spontaneous imbibition of additional pore fluid. Swelling is distinct from other growth …

Bringing together basic ideas, classical theories, recent experimental and theoretical
aspects, this book explains desiccation cracks from simple, easily-comprehensible cases to …

The mechanical degradation of electrodes caused by lithiation and delithiation is one of the
main factors responsible for the short cycle life of lithium-based batteries employing high …

This work investigates the influence of ballmilling (sometimes also referred to as jar roller
milling) time on cathode catalyst layer (CL) inks and electrode properties using formulations …

A space-spanning network structure is a basic morphology in phase separation of soft and
biomatter, alongside a droplet one. Despite its fundamental and industrial importance, the …

Self-organization processes leading to pattern formation phenomena are ubiquitous in
nature. Intensive theoretical and experimental research efforts during the past few decades …
