With the active development of offshore wind power worldwide, the development of a green and ecofriendly grouting material (GEGM) has garnered global attention. Such a material must also be developed in Taiwan. Therefore, in this study, a series of e...

Lightweight sheet metals are attractive for aerospace and automotive applications due to their exceptional properties, such as low density and high strength. Sheet metal forming (SMF) is a key technology to manufacturing lightweight thin-walled compl...

We compared the results of various microscale indentation creep (microcreep) measurements with macroscale tensile creep (macrocreep) measurements of three common polymers: high-density polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS). The...

Nanographenes (NGs) have been attracting widespread interest since they combine peculiar properties of graphene with molecular features, such as bright visible photoluminescence. However, our understanding of the fundamental properties of NGs is stil...

Basalt platforms are widely distributed in many areas of China, where landslides occur frequently. It is well recognized that landslide hazards seriously threaten engineering constructions and property safety. It is, therefore, of great significance...

Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate the accuracy of a new digital impression system, comparing it to the plaster impression technique in the realization of full-arch implant-supported metal frameworks. Methods: We took 11 scan...

A review of nonlocal theories utilized in the fatigue and fracture modeling of solid structures is addressed in this paper. Numerous papers have been studied for this purpose, and various nonlocal theories such as the nonlocal continuum damage model,...

Powder diamonds with integrated europium atoms were synthesized at high pressure (7.7 GPa) and temperature (1800 °C) from a mixture of pentaerythritol with pyrolyzate of diphthalocyanine (C64H32N16Eu) being a special precursor. In diamonds prepar...

The out-of-phase thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) behavior of the two Al-Si cast alloys most widely used for engine applications (319 and 356) were investigated under temperature cycling (60–300 °C) and various strain amplitudes (0.1–0...

In this paper, the connection performance of extrusion sleeves and the strain rate effect on 500 MPa-grade hot-rolled ribbed bar(HRB500E) connected with extrusion sleeves under a range of testing strain rates from 1.079/sto1.395/s, similar to what wo...
