A full factorial design of experiments was used to study the effect of blend shear strain on the compaction process, relative density and strength of pharmaceutical tablets. The powder blends were subjected to different shear strain levels (integral of shear rate with respect to time) using an ad hoc Couette shear cell. Tablets were compressed at different compaction forces using an instrumented compactor simulator, and compaction curves showing the force-displacement profiles during compaction were obtained. Although the die-fill blend porosity (initial porosity) and the minimum in-die tablet porosity (at maximum compaction) decreased significantly with shear strain, the final tablet porosity was surprisingly independent of shear strain. The increase in the in-die maximum compaction with shear strain was, in fact, compensated during post-compaction relaxation of the tables, which also increased significantly with shear strain. Therefore, tablet porosity alone was not sufficient to predict tablet tensile strength. A decrease in the work of compaction as a function of shear strain, and an increase in the recovered elastic work was observed, which suggested weaker particle-particle bonding as the shear strain increased. For each shear strain level, the Ryskewitch Duckworth equation was a good fit to the tensile strength as a function of tablet porosity, and the obtained asymptotic tensile strength at zero porosity exhibited a 60% reduction as a function of shear strain. This was consistent with a reduced bonding efficiency as the shear strain increased.

Numerous models have been developed in the literature to simulate the thermomechanical behavior of amorphous polymer at large strain. These models generally show a good agreement with experimental results when the material is submitted to uniaxial lo adings (tension or compression) or in case of shear loadings. However, this agreement is highly degraded when they are used in the case of combined load cases. A generalization of these models to more complex loads is scarce. In particular, models that are identified in tension or compression often overestimate the response in shear. One difficulty lies in the fact that 3D models must aggregate different physical modeling, described with different kinematics. This requires the use of transport operators complex to manipulate. In this paper, we propose a mechanical model for large strains, generalized in 3D, and precisely introducing the adequate transport operators in order to obtain an exact kinematic. The stress strain duality is validated in the writing of the power of internal forces. This generalized model is applied in the case of a polycarbonate amorphous polymers. The simulation results in tension/compression and shear are compared with the classical modeling and experimental results from the literature. The results highly improve the numerical predictions of the mechanical response of amorphous polymers submitted to any load case.
The understanding of sliding friction for wet, patterned surfaces from first principles is challenging. While emerging applications have sought design principles from biology, a general framework is lacking because soft interfaces experience a multip hysics coupling between solid deformation and fluid dissipation. We investigate the elastohydrodynamic sliding of >50 patterned sliding pairs comprising elastomers, thermosets, and hydrogels, and discover that texturing induces a critical transition in the macroscopic friction coefficient. This critical friction scales universally, without any fitting parameters, with the reduced elastic modulus and the pattern geometry. To capture the frictional dissipation, we separate the flow curve into two regimes and account for the contributions of shear and normal forces applied by the fluid on the patterns. Our model combines Reynolds equations and elastic deformation to provide physical insights that allow engineering of the elastohydrodynamic friction in a class of soft tribopairs using pattern geometry, material elasticity, and fluid properties.
Numerical Simulations are employed to create amorphous nano-films of a chosen thickness on a crystalline substrate which induces strain on the film. The films are grown by a vapor deposition technique which was recently developed to create very stabl e glassy films. Using the exact relations between the Hessian matrix and the shear and bulk moduli we explore the mechanical properties of the nano-films as a function of the density of the substrate and the film thickness. The existence of the substrate dominates the mechanical properties of the combined substrate-film system. Scaling concepts are then employed to achieve data collapse in a wide range of densities and film thicknesses.
We investigate the elastic and yielding properties of two dimensional defect-free mono-crystals made of highly monodisperse droplets. Crystals are compressed between two parallel boundaries of which one acts as a force sensor. As the available space between boundaries is reduced, the crystal goes through successive row-reduction transitions. For small compression forces, the crystal responds elastically until a critical force is reached and the assembly fractures in a single catastrophic global event. Correspondingly there is a peak in the force measurement associated with each row-reduction. The elastic properties of ideal mono-crystal samples are fully captured by a simple analytical model consisting of an assembly of individual capillary springs. The yielding properties of the crystal are captured with a minimal bond breaking model.

We report a detailed investigation of RECoPO (RE = La, Pr) and LaCoAsO materials performed by means of muon spin spectroscopy. Zero-field measurements show that the electrons localized on the Pr$^{3+}$ ions do not play any role in the static magnetic properties of the compounds. Magnetism at the local level is indeed fully dominated by the weakly-itinerant ferromagnetism from the Co sublattice only. The increase of the chemical pressure triggered by the different ionic radii of La$^{3+}$ and Pr$^{3+}$, on the other hand, plays a crucial role in enhancing the value of the magnetic critical temperature and can be mimicked by the application of external hydrostatic pressure up to 24 kbar. A sharp discontinuity in the local magnetic field at the muon site in LaCoPO at around 5 kbar suggests a sizeable modification in the band structure of the material upon increasing pressure. This scenario is qualitatively supported by emph{ab-initio} density-functional theory calculations.
