Microstructure-based modeling of damage and healing in salt rock with application to geological storage
… and CO2 storage systems are buried underground. Recovery of mineral resources, storage of energy, and disposal of waste involve changes in coupled mechanical and transport rock properties. The evolution of pores and cracks during thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical coupled processes governs the …

Northern San Francisco Bay Ecological Risk Assessment: Potential Crude by Rail Incident
… or by dispersant application coupled with mechanical recovery, natural recovery, and minimal shoreline cleanup with planting. Cost of response actions range from $233,000 to $4.4 million; total cost including natural resource damages is estimated at</strong> <strong>$18.4 million. Recommend …

Self-healing strain-hardening cementitious composites (SH2CC) for cyclic loading environments
… due to effective fibre bridging based on micromechanical design. Accordingly, this research develops novel materials based on SHCC which achieve 1) high deflection capacity (around 5 mm, equivalent to an estimated tensile strain capacity around 1.92%) under cyclic loading with different strain …

Mechanical characterization and self-healing in synthetic vascularized materials
… self-healing materials have been developed that mechanically recover from structural damage autonomously. One strategy for creating self-healing materials is to distribute reactive fluids throughout the material volume using a microvascular network of microchannels that serve as conduits of flow …

Exploring Multiple Hydrogen Bonding and Ionic Bonding in the Design of Supramolecular Polymers
… binding site, thereby allowing for enhanced mechanical integrity to the polymers and facilitate self-assembly. This dissertation focuses on the design of novel supramolecular polymers building from the doubly-charged or quadruple hydrogen bonding (QHB) scaffolds utilizing chain-growth …

Autonomic healing of low-velocity impact damage in woven fiber-reinforced composites
… upon inclusion of both self-healing components. Recovery of mechanical properties after healing was investigated by conducting compression-after-impact tests. Self-healing panels showed full recovery of residual compressive strength up to a threshold impact energy nearly double that of …
