In this study, a surface hardening of AISI 52100 bearing steel was performed by ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM), and electrolytic-plasma thermo-cyclic surface modification (EPSM), and their effects on the wear resistance were inves...

The hydrogen sorption of materials based on 80 wt.% MgH2 with the addition of 15 wt.% Ni or V and 5 wt.% activated carbons synthesized from polyolefin wax, a waste product from polyethylene production (POW), walnut shells (CAN), and peach stones (CPS...

As the demand for the development and utilization of marine resources continues to strengthen, the service requirements for advanced marine equipment are rapidly increasing. Surface protection technology has become an important way of solving the tri...

Experimental methodologies for fatigue lifetime prediction are time-intensive and susceptible to environmental variables. Although the cohesive zone model is popular for predicting adhesive fatigue lifetime, entropy-based methods have also displayed...

Magnetorheological damper (MRD) has been successfully applied to vehicle suspension systems as an intelligent core component. Most conventional MRDs have closed rectangle-shaped magnetic circuits, resulting in a short effective working length and neg...

Increasing the water–cement ratio and water-reducer dosage of cement slurry enhances its fluidity. However, a high water–cement ratio diminishes the beneficial effects of water reducers on fluidity. The stone content of the slurry decreas...

As a new and promising reinforcing filler, electrospun glass nanofibers (EGNFs) have attracted attention in the field of polymer composite materials. However, the reinforcing effectiveness of surface-modified EGNFs using different silane coupling age...

The journal retracts the article “SrFexNi1−xO3−δ Perovskites Coated on Ti Anodes and Their Electrocatalytic Properties for Cleaning Nitrogenous Wastewater” [...]

With their rich surface chemistry, high electrical conductivity, variable bandgap, and thermal stability, 2D materials have been developed for effective electrochemical energy conversion systems over the past decade. Due to the diversity brought abou...

The flexible high-neck flange is connected to the circular hollow section (CHS) tube through welding, and the placement of the weld seam and corresponding stress concentration factor (SCF) are crucial determinants of the joint’s fatigue perform...
