The argillaceous surrounding rock of a horsehead roadway under high stress conditions is prone to deformation and failure, and the control of its long-term stability is difficult. Based on the engineering practices that control the argillaceous surro...

Adsorption methods for CO2 capture are characterized by high selectivity and low energy consumption. Therefore, the engineering of solid supports for efficient CO2 adsorption attracts research attention. Modification of mesoporous silica materials wi...

A quad-band metamaterial absorber using a periodically arranged surface structure placed on an ultra-thin substrate is demonstrated in this paper. Its surface structure consists of a rectangular patch and four L-shaped structures distributed symmetri...

Due to the high tensile strength of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), the shear stirrups in UHPC beams could potentially be removed. The aim of this study is to assess the shear performance of non-stirrup UHPC beams. Six UHPC beams were tested...

Obtaining accurate models and well-fitting prostheses during the fabrication of complete implant-supported prostheses has been a significant challenge. Conventional impression methods involve multiple clinical and laboratory steps that can lead to di...

Porosity in sintered materials negatively affects its fatigue properties. In investigating its influence, the application of numerical simulations reduces experimental testing, but they are computationally very expensive. In this work, the applicatio...

Polypeptoids are a family of synthetic peptidomimetic polymers featuring N-substituted polyglycine backbones with large chemical and structural diversity. Their synthetic accessibility, tunable property/functionality, and biological relevance make po...

Soilbags are expandable three-dimensional geosynthetic bags made from high-density polyethylene or polypropylene. This study conducted a series of plate load tests to explore the bearing capacity of soft foundations reinforced by soilbags filled with...

Polyaluminocarbosilane (PACS) is an important precursor for silicon carbide (SiC) fibers and ceramics. The structure of PACS and the oxidative curing, thermal pyrolysis, and sintering effect of Al have already been substantially studied. However, the...

One of the most important aspects of engineering assessment of the technical condition of structures and materials is the ability to assess the fatigue behavior of materials and structures [...]
