The article presents research on concrete creep in bridge structures, focusing on the influence of concrete mix composition and the use of advanced rheological models with fractional-order derivatives. Laboratory tests were performed on nine mixes va...

This study addresses the challenge of drilling film-cooling holes in the turbine blades of aircraft engines. Titanium alloy TC4 was selected as the experimental material. The laser-drilling process was simulated with ANSYS to determine optimal parame...

The development of bioactive materials in endodontics has advanced tissue regeneration by enhancing the biological responses of periradicular tissues. Recently, calcium silicate-based sealers have gained attention for their superior biological proper...

The growing demand for innovation and the use of diverse materials in cementitious composites necessitate predictive models that account for material variability. Numerical, code-based, and machine learning (ML) models have been developed to predict...

This study investigates the evolution of strain-induced martensite (SIM) and its effect on magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) in AISI 321 austenitic stainless steel subjected to uniaxial tensile testing. Using X-ray diffraction and the Barkhausen noise...

The literature clearly indicates that both academia and industry are strongly committed to developing comprehensive processes for spent Li-ion battery (LIB) recycling. In this regard, the current study presents an original contribution by providing a...

The resource utilization of construction waste and industrial solid waste is a crucial aspect in promoting global urbanization and sustainable development. This study focuses on the preparation of mine backfill materials using construction waste in c...

This study presents a method to more reasonably control the quality performance of activated rubber asphalt by microwave activation. Different activated rubber asphalt preparation process parameters (reaction temperature, stirring rate, and reaction...

Several variables influence the performance of hot asphalt mixtures including reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). Among these, the virgin bitumen’s origin, the mix production temperature and the time the mix is kept at a high temperature between...

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the lignocellulose filler originating in wood and non-wood raw materials, alone or together with collagen hydrolysate, on the properties and biodegradation ability of natural rubber late...
