[PDF][PDF] Snakeskin-Inspired Rib Patterns for Geomembranes

VL Gayathri, P Vangla - 2023 - publishing.argo-e.com
The interface shear response of clay soil and geomembranes with ribs inspired from the
ventral scales of snakes was studied for their application as landfill liners. To this end, three …
