Experimentally and theoretically have been proven that the relationship between particles and pore throat sizes are the key factors to the particles migration and plugging [11].
Abrams, [15] proposed that the amount of the particle size of the bridging materials should be at least equal to or greater than one-third of the pore size of the reservoir rock.
The laws that govern nanoscale material behavior are drastically different than the laws governing the macro/micro scale behavior [20].

TFC membranes contain minimum two layers of different (polymeric) materials, where a dense ultrathin layer of a highly selective membrane material is deposited on a porous support sublayer (as shown in Fig. 6) [36].
This is due to the inherent interaction between membrane material and the materials we want to resolve.

This seemingly universal applicability confirmed that CRA is independent of the evolving internal stress which acts as a homogenization parameter to maintain the activation work at each and every activation site constant such that the measurable product of the mean values are also constant, that is, τν = kT/m wherein ν is the activation volume and m, the engineering strain rate sensitivity factor.
Mean Slip Distance, Functional Constitutive Relation and Derivation of α-Factor The key parameter to decode the σ - ε diagram are the mean slip distance λ, which can be precisely determined for each curve and the functional constitutive form [8, 13, 14]: λ=ϕbμ2τ∂τ∂γ|T,γ (1) τ=P4A2+βαμb21C1b12+βγ12+β (2) The calibration factor in Eq. 1 is derived from θcal = ∂τ/∂γ at ε0.2% given as 1/= (µ/θcal)/ 2α.

The more the water among dust particles is ,the larger the strength of interaction among dust particles is, the more difficulty the dust raising is , so the moisture content of dust is a key factor influencing dust raising.
(2)Cohesive action The polar groups of coagulating agent can adsorb many materials, when macro molecular exists among dust the dust particles, each molecule can adsorb several dust particles respectively, the incompact dust particles combine with each other tightly because of "bridging function" and form a big dust particle.

Behavior of Large-Scale Circular and Square RC Columns Confined with Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer under Uniaxial Compression Zhenyu Wang1, a, Daiyu Wang1, b, Dagang Lu1, c 1School of Civil Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China azhenyuwang@hit.edu.cn, bdaiyuwang@hit.edu.cn, cludagang@hit.edu.cn Keywords: CFRP; Confined concrete; Circular columns; Square columns; Uniaxial compression; Stress-strain behavior Abstract: Most experimental studies concerning the stress-strain behavior of concrete columns confined with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) focused on plain concrete columns with small section.
Introduction FRP confinement is a key technique to increase the seismic capacity of RC columns, which are critical structural members that withstand vertical compression and lateral seismic loading [1].
The accurate stress-strain model for FRP-confined concrete is the foundation to use this technical in actual engineering projects.
