Article Abstract
Many designs of anchor cables are currently in use for rock support in civil and mining operations. Because of the exposed surface and weak shear performance of the cable bolt's free section (CBFS) in end-anchored structures, breaking failure frequently occurs. Numerical simulations and laboratory experiments were performed in this study to develop measures to improve CBFS resistance to shear failure. Analysis of shear characteristics of the CBFS showed that higher axial tension weakens the cable bolt's shear resistance, and that shear damage on the cable surface and uneven distribution of shear stress aggravate CBFS tensile-shear failure. A high-strength steel pipe is proposed to protect the shear cable bolt, and the preliminary design of a CBFS-strengthening device (CFSD) is presented. Numerical simulation revealed that the CFSD effectively improved CBFS shear resistance and provided protection from harmful shear damage. The optimal performance of a Q-type (slotted steel pipe) CFSD was confirmed. The mechanism of improvement of the cable's shear resistance to surrounding rock by employing the CFSD was analyzed. Double-shear tests were carried out on a bare cable bolt and a cable bolt with a Q-CFSD. The results revealed that the CFSD increased the peak shear force on the joint plane, cable peak axial force, and ultimate shear displacement by 31%, 18%, and 11%, respectively. The proposed device is effective in improving the shear performance of end-anchored cable bolts and enhancing surrounding rock stability.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), and share several important pathological features including the development of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) of tau protein. While this association is well established, the underlying pathogenesis is poorly defined and current treatment options remain limited, necessitating novel methods and approaches. In response we developed "TBI-on-a-chip", an trauma model utilizing murine cortical networks on microelectrode arrays (MEAs), capable of reproducing clinically relevant impact injuries while providing simultaneous morphological and electrophysiological readout.

Active suspensions, which consist of suspended self-propelling particles such as swimming microorganisms, often exhibit non-trivial transport properties. Continuum models are frequently employed to elucidate phenomena in active suspensions, such as shear trapping of bacteria, bacterial turbulence and bioconvection patterns in suspensions of algae. Yet, these models are often empirically derived and may not always agree with the individual-based description of active particles.

Transport phenomena of microswimmers in fluid flows play a crucial role in various biological processes, including bioconvection and cell sorting. In this article, we investigate the dispersion behaviour of chiral microswimmers in a simple shear flow using the generalized Taylor dispersion theory, inspired by biased locomotion of bacterial rheotaxis swimmers. We thus focused on the influence of shear-induced torque effects due to particle chirality, employing an extended Jeffery equation for individual deterministic dynamics.

Microswimmer locomotion in non-Newtonian fluids is crucial for biological processes, including infection, fertilization and biofilm formation. The behaviour of microswimmers in these media is an area with many conflicting results, with swimmers displaying varying responses depending on their morphology, actuation and the complex properties of the surrounding fluid. Using a hybrid computational approach, we numerically investigate the effect of shear-thinning rheology and viscoelasticity on a simple conceptual microswimmer consisting of three linked spheres.

The combined effect of axial stretching and cross-stream diffusion on the downstream transport of solute is termed Taylor dispersion. The dispersion of active suspensions is qualitatively distinct: viscous and external torques can establish non-uniform concentration fields with weighted access to shear, modifying mean drift and effective diffusivity. It would be advantageous to fine-tune the dispersion for systems such as bioreactors, where mixing or particle separation can improve efficacy.
