During the radial–axial ring rolling (RARR) process of super-large rings, abnormal deformation states such as instability and out of circularity often lead to rolling termination and quality fluctuation of ring products. In this work, an intell...

During geothermal energy development, the bottom high-temperature fluid continuously exchanges heat with the upper low-temperature wellbore and the stratum during its rising process. Thermal insulation cement (TIC) can increase the outlet temperature...

Sn-rich solder joints in three-dimensional integrated circuits and their reliability issues, such as the electromigration (EM), thermomigration (TM), and thermomechanical fatigue (TMF), have drawn attention related to their use in electronic packagin...

In this paper, a prediction model for the tensile behaviour of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete is proposed. It is based on integrating force contributions of all fibres crossing the crack plane. Piecewise linear models for the force...

The paper discusses the microstructural, chemical and tribological properties of the selected low-alloy, high-strength martensitic boron steels with a hardness of 500–600 HBW. These materials, due to their increased strength, and thus resistanc...

SnO_x films were deposited on a hydrogen-terminated diamond by thermal oxidation of Sn. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy result implies partial oxidation of Sn film on the diamond surface. The leakage current and capacitance–voltage properti...

The research shows the comparison between two types of polyamide-based (PA) composites and pure, base material. The conducted analysis describes how the additions of carbon fibers and glass microbeads affect the material’s properties and its be...

Raw cellulose, or even agro-industrial waste, have been extensively used for environmental applications, namely industrial water decontamination, due to their effectiveness, availability, and low production cost. This was a response to the increasing...

The search for lightweight structures increases the demand for non-metallic materials, such as polymers, composites, and hybrid structures. This work presents the dissimilar joining through direct laser joining between polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) a...

In this paper, the stability improvement of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/styrene-isoprene block copolymer (SIS) loaded with silica nanoparticles is characterized. The protection efficiency in the material of thermal stability is mainly studied by means of...
