Advanced multi-scale characterization of loess microstructure: Integrating μXCT and FIB-SEM for detailed fabric analysis and geotechnical implications

Advanced multi-scale characterization of loess microstructure: Integrating μXCT and FIB-SEM for detailed fabric analysis and geotechnical implications

The behavior of loess is controlled by its microstructure, consisting of silt sized skeleton particles and complex bonding structures formed by clay-sized particles. Achieving a deep understanding and precise modelling of loess behavior necessitates comprehensive knowledge of the realistic 3D microstructure.

Advanced multi-scale characterization of loess microstructure: Integrating μXCT and FIB-SEM for detailed fabric analysis and geotechnical implications

3D loess microstructure of loess, including skeleton particles as well as inter-particle bonding structures, was characterized through a correlative approach using μXCT and FIB-SEM

Loess, a Quaternary wind-blown deposit, is a problem soil that gives rise to frequent geohazards such as landslides and water-induced subsidence. The behavior of loess is controlled by its microstructure, consisting of silt sized
skeleton particles and complex bonding structures formed by clay-sized p... Read more

A separated vortex ring underlies the flight of the dandelion

A separated vortex ring underlies the flight of the dandelion

Wind-dispersed plants have evolved ingenious ways to lift their seeds. The common dandelion uses a bundle of drag-enhancing bristles (the pappus) that helps to keep their seeds aloft. This passive flight mechanism is highly effective, enabling seed dispersal over formidable distances; however, the physics underpinning pappus-mediated flight remains unresolved. Here we visualized the flow around dandelion seeds, uncovering an extraordinary type of vortex. This vortex is a ring of recirculating... Read more

X-ray micro-computed tomography for 3D characterization of particle kinematics representing water-induced loess micro-fabric collapse

X-ray micro-computed tomography for 3D characterization of particle kinematics representing water-induced loess micro-fabric collapse

3D characterisation of the particle kinematics during loess collapse is performed based on X-ray micro-computed tomography.

Particle displacements and rotations associated with the collapse are determined.

The volumetric strain is shown to be significantly heterogeneous at single-particle scale.

The evolution of particle-to-particle contacts is found to be much more complex than previously stated.

 

An apparatus is specially designed to perf... Read more
