"..link between stress-activated frictional particle interactions & piezoelectric suspension response is further demonstrated by tracking the emergence of structural memory..under oscillatory shear & by showing how stress-activated #friction can drive mechano-transduction of chemical reactions with nonlinear..kinetics..this makes the ac #conductance of #piezoelectric #suspensions a sensitive in-situ reporter of the #micromechanics associated with frictional interactions"
