Soil mechanics is a sub-discipline of soil science and geotechnical engineering that deals with the mechanical properties and processes of soils. Generally speaking, soil mechanics describes how the soil and its pore structure changes its shape or volume(or how it "deforms") due to stresses acting on the soil. 2, record 1, English, - soil%20mechanics

Fouling causes a loss in the activity of immobilized biocatalysts. This is due to the deposition of solid or colloidal materials(originally suspended in the substrate, around, or in, the pores of the support) preventing access of substrate to the enzyme.... Physical fouling by insoluble debris, fats, microbial activity or synthetic side reactions of the enzymes producing ’polymers’ can be particular problems with porous supports. This is because the availability of the enzyme can be quickly reduced by even limited blockage of the pore structure. 2, record 3, English, - fouling

The production of hydrocarbon reservoirs, the exploitation of hydrothermal fields and mining activity in general are associated with microseismicity. Changes of the local stress fields and pore pressure can initiate sudden movements along existing faults or can generate new fractures which in turn result in the emission of seismic energy.

It is imperative to note that EOS [equivalent opening size] values do not accurately define fabric pore sizes, pore structure, or filtration ability. For decades, filter media producers and users have adopted various techniques similar to the EOS test for measuring the retention efficiency of their products... Visual examination of different fabrics with the same EOS illustrates the variety of pore structure and porosity that can exist despite common EOS values... The EOS test provides a method for determining relative size of the maximum "straight through" openings in a fabric. And as such EOS values provide an indication of the minimum particle size the fabric can retain. EOS does not, however, indicate absolute retention efficiency for geotextiles; that is, a woven monofilament and nonwoven fabric, both with EOS=0. 210 mm, will not have the same pore structure and therefore will not provide the same filtration efficiency for all particle sizes. 1, record 19, English, - pore%20structure

Clogging, blocking and blinding. If the geotextile pore openings are slightly too small, then there will be insufficient initial wash-through of fine soil particles to promote the rapid formation of an efficient graded filter in the adjacent soil. Where the geotextile pore openings are even smaller, then there is a serious risk that either blinding, severe blocking or severe clogging will develop with time. Blocking is where soil particles resting on the surface of the geotextile, either totally or partially obstruct the pore openings.... Blinding is a special form of severe blocking, where the soil grading permits the suffusion of fine soil particles which are too large to pass through the geotextile.... Where the size of many of the soil particles is very close to that of the geotextile pore openings, then they are likely to enter the pores and become trapped within the geotextile. This can cause severe clogging which is most likely to arise in thick non-woven geotextiles with a complex pore structure. 3, record 21, English, - clogging
