For reliable electronics, it is important to have an understanding of solder joint failure mechanisms. However, because of difficulties in real-time atomistic scale analysis during deformation, we still do not fully understand these mechanisms. Here,...

In high-altitude corrosive environments, weathering steel is widely applied due to its excellent corrosion resistance. However, the welded joint regions, where the chemical composition and microstructure undergo changes, are susceptible to the corros...

The complexity of the processes occurring in both natural and artificial joints necessitates carrying out the analysis on a 3D model based on already existing mathematical models. All the presented numerical calculations define qualitative conclusion...

As austempered ductile iron (ADI) is a key gear material for meeting the lightweight and cost-effective demands of new energy vehicles, its bending fatigue performance has a direct impact on vehicle transmission efficiency. In the present work, QTD 8...

In this study, under varying PDSP (plunging depths of stirring pin) and process parameters, refill friction stir spot welding tests were performed on 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, relying on a stirring tool with a 12 mm sleeve diameter and an 8 mm stirring...

Addressing the limitations of traditional fatigue life prediction methods, which rely on extensive experimental data and incur high costs, and given the current absence of studies that employ deformation inhomogeneity parameters to construct fatigue-...

Bentonite materials are extensively used in cutoff walls at landfill sites. This study calculates the stress and permeability characteristics of bentonite materials using the piezocone penetration test (CPTU) and ABAQUS simulations. The lateral effec...

Graphene nanoshells (MGNS) were prepared from cellulose, a sustainable biopolymer. Different sizes/morphologies were obtained by simply changing the metal catalyst salt in the synthesis. The MGNS were shown to reversibly cycle Li-ions by an intercala...

Fault diagnosis for embedded sensors in asphalt pavement faces significant challenges, including the scarcity of real-world fault data and the difficulty in identifying compound faults, which severely compromises the reliability of monitoring data. T...

The pharmaceutical contamination of water, especially by widely used drugs, presents important environmental and health concerns due to the inefficiency of conventional treatment methods. The present study proposes a sustainable solution using biocha...
