The alloy 304 stainless steel is used in a wide variety of industrial applications. It is frequently applied in tough environments, such as those involving high temperatures, low temperatures, and corrosive environments. Hence, research on the flow s...

Silane-coating strategy has been used to bind biological compounds to the titanium surface, thereby making implant devices biologically active. However, it has not been determined if the presence of the silane coating itself is biocompatible to osseo...

Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a prominent 3D printing modality that typically uses a polyamide (PA) powder as the substrate. One commercially available SLS material is known as PA2200, which is comprised of nylon 12 and titanium dioxide (TiO2) a...

Energy transfer is one of the essentials of mechanical wave propagation (along with momentum transport). Here, it is studied in disordered one-dimensional model systems mimicking force-chains in real systems. The pre-stressed random masses (other typ...

Microscopic phase-field chemomechanics (MPFCM) is employed in the current work to model solute segregation, dislocation-solute interaction, spinodal decomposition, and precipitate formation, at straight dislocations and configurations of these in a m...

The interaction between tissues and biomaterials (BM) has the purpose of improving and replacing anatomical parts of the human body, avoiding the occurrence of adverse reactions in the host organism. Unfortunately, the early failure of implants canno...

This paper reports a novel pocket-textured surface for improving the tribological properties of point contact under starved lubrication by possibly storing and releasing oil, and homogenizing the surface contact pressure. The ball-on-disk experimenta...

Polyurethane foam (PUF) has generally been used in liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier cargo containment systems (CCSs) owing to its excellent mechanical and thermal properties over a wide range of temperatures. An LNG CCS must be designed to withsta...

Health monitoring sensors that are attached to clothing are a new trend of the times, especially stretchable sensors for human motion measurements or biological markers. However, price, durability, and performance always are major problems to be addr...

Nonlinear dynamic analyses of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings require the use of effective stiffness of members to capture the effect of cracked section stiffness. In the design codes and practices, the effective stiffness of RC sections is...
