Summary: This study reveals that displacement of an active slow landslide is mainly accommodated through mm-scale stick-slip events, and the frequency of these events is related to landslide velocity and pore fluid pressure. This observation suggests similarities between slow slip in landslides and episodic slow slip along faults.

Summary: The static and dynamic frictional properties of rock discontinuities play a crucial role in evaluating the failure and post-failure motions of rock engineering structures, as well as the rupture and strong motions induced by earthquake faults. However, there are limited experiments on these properties. This study conducted tilting and stick-slip experiments on various natural rock discontinuities to determine their frictional properties, and the results showed that the static and dynamic friction angles were similar. These findings provide valuable information for researchers in fields such as Rock Mechanics, Rock Engineering, and Earthquake Science and Engineering.

Summary: The computational study on the atomic-scale stick-slip friction of monolayer graphene on a copper substrate reveals a strong temperature dependence of friction force and friction mode. The role of Moire superlattices in affecting friction force is significant, especially at different temperatures, leading to changes in friction behavior and transition from athermal to thermally activated friction modes.

Summary: Regardless of surface roughness or compression, the stress relaxation of microcontacts is the same as that of bulk material. Friction is not always proportional to the contact area. This allows us to predict frictional aging of rough interfaces based on the bulk material properties of two typical polymers: polypropylene and polytetrafluoroethylene.

Summary: The transition from static to dynamic friction is often described as a fracture instability. However, studies on slow sliding processes suggest that this transition can be explained by considering the competition between contact aging and shear-induced rejuvenation.

Summary: This study investigates the stick-slip phenomena at a low-velocity range and explores the effect of brake pad size on friction instability. The results show that smaller pads exhibit higher stick-slip amplitudes within narrower velocity ranges. Friction levels are influenced by the total contact plateau area, while the stick-slip amplitudes are affected by the size of high-pressure plateaus. The pronounced stick-slip with small pads is attributed to the presence of large high-pressure plateaus, which increase static friction.

Summary: Atomic-scale friction measurements were conducted on a metallic glass surface in corrosive solutions using an atomic force microscope. The irregular stick-slip motion observed was attributed to the amorphous structure of the corroded surface. We found that stronger corrosion leads to a higher probability of multiple slips with larger forces, resulting in increased average friction.

Summary: The influence of different surface topography types on stick-slip behavior was investigated. Micro-dimple textures inhibit stick-slip behavior by trapping wear debris and forming effective oil film, while micro-bulge textures reduce contact area and thus decrease the propensity of stick-slip behavior.

Summary: This study overcomes the difficulty of harnessing the flexoelectric effect by designing multiscale metamaterials. Through topology optimization calculations, we obtain optimal structures for various apparent piezoelectric properties and find that low-area-fraction lattices are the preferred choice. The results show competitive estimations of apparent piezoelectricity compared to reference materials such as quartz and PZT ceramics.

Summary: The coexistence of both austenite and martensite is a common characteristic in Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). The multiple-domain microstructures, consisting of austenite, martensite twins, and individual martensite variants, evolve collectively during the phase transformation, affecting the material's macroscopic response. This paper presents an experimentally observed interface consisting of five domains in a Ni-Mn-Ga single-crystal, and analyzes the effects of thermal loading path and material initial state on the domain pattern formation.

Summary: In this work, the authors investigate the possibility of enhancing the resistance to crack growth in brittle materials through microstructure design. They establish a computational framework to simulate crack propagation and characterize fracture energy. The effects of different types of voids on toughening mechanisms are explored, and the critical conditions for embrittlement-toughening transition are identified. The study also discusses the difference between void toughening in brittle and ductile materials, and extends the toughening strategy to nacre-like materials.

Summary: This study establishes a cytoarchitectural model to accurately capture the buckling and postbuckling behaviors of epithelia under fast compression. The stress evolution of epithelia is divided into three stages: loading, phase transition, and stress recovery. The postbuckling process is governed by the active tension generated by the actomyosin network. The study also proposes a minimal model that predicts the flattening time and stress recovery extent as functions of applied strain or strain rate, in agreement with simulations and experiments.

Summary: Motivated by the extraordinary strength of nacre, this study investigated the probabilistic distribution of fishnet strength using Monte Carlo simulations and found that previous analytical solutions are not applicable for fishnets with a large number of links. By approximating large-scale fishnets as a continuum with cracks or holes, the study revealed that the strength distribution follows the Weibull distribution. This new model has significance for optimizing the strength-weight ratio in printed material structures.

Summary: This paper revisits the mathematical foundations of nonlinear viscoelasticity and studies the geometry of viscoelastic deformations. It discusses the decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and viscous distortions and concludes that the viscous distortion can only be a two-point tensor. The governing equations of nonlinear viscoelasticity are derived and the constitutive and kinetic equations for various types of viscoelastic solids are discussed.

Summary: We have developed a simple model that describes the ionic current through neuronal membranes by considering the membrane potential and extracellular ion concentration. The model combines a simplified Poisson-Nernst-Planck model of ion transport through individual ion channels with channel activation functions calibrated from experimental data. The calibrated model accounts for the transport of calcium, sodium, potassium, and chloride and shows remarkable agreement with experimentally measured current-voltage curves for human neural cells.
