Advances in Micro- and Nanomechanics
This paper presents an alternative approach to formulating a rational bar-elastic substrate model with inclusion of small-scale and surface-energy effects. The thermodynamics-based strain gradient model is utilized to account for the small-scale effect (nonlocality) of the bar-bulk material while the Gurtin–Murdoch surface theory is adopted to capture the surface-energy effect

Advances in Methane Production from Coal, Shale and Other Tight Rocks
Discriminating multiphase methane (adsorbed and free phases) in coals is crucial for evaluating the optimal gas recovery strategies of coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs. However, the existing volumetric-based adsorption isotherm method only provides the final methane adsorption result, limiting real-time dynamic characterization of multiphase methane in the methane adsorption process
