THE title of this book, although a little lengthy, describes its contents with accuracy ; it is essentially a study of structure approached through the phenomena of elasticity and plasticity. To give ...

A research team has simulated glassy colloidal solids to understand their mechanical and failure properties. Under strain, the hard-sphere glasses deformed elastically (reversibly), partly plastically ...

Extensibility characteristics of Avena stem segments treated with gibberellic acid (GA) were investigated in living internodes using a microgrowth method and in partially extracted cell walls ...
