This study investigates the scratch response of α-phase commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) produced via wire arc directed energy deposition (WDED), focusing on the thermal history and directional effects. Progressive scratch tests (1–50 N...

Highly symmetric protein cages represent one of the most artistic architectures formed by biomolecules. However, the underlying reasons for the formation of some of these architectures remain unknown. The present study aims to investigate the signifi...

In the present work, nine ‘defect’ perovskites with the chemical formula A2ZrX6 have been studied, where the A-site cations are a methylammonium cation, formamidinium cation, and trimethyl-sulfonium cation and the X-site anions are haloge...

Forced vibrations resulting from moving loads, along with efficient vibration control, are essential in transportation engineering, earthquake engineering, and aerospace engineering. In this study, the vibrational response of an axially functionally...

In this paper, the synthesis, characterization, and investigation of electrocatalytic properties of perovskites of general formula PrMn0.5M0.5O3 (M = Cr, Fe, Co, Ni) are presented. The synthesis was conducted by the solution combustion method using g...

As one of the lightest metallic structural materials, magnesium (Mg) alloys possess numerous distinctive properties and are utilized across a broad spectrum of applications. However, the poor corrosion resistance of Mg alloys limits their application...

The rising prevalence of orthopedic conditions, driven by an aging population, has led to a growing demand for advanced implant materials. Traditional metals such as stainless steel and titanium alloys are biologically inert and often necessitate sec...

In this study, the welding stress of in-service welding on the X80 steel pipeline was investigated using the 3D finite element method. The parameters of heat source and axial and hoop welding stress were verified in the experiment. As shown in the re...

The microstructure of 40CrMnMoA during hot forging determines its macroscopic mechanical properties. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior is commonly used to refine grains and improve the microstructure of materials; therefore, it is important to...

We perform a theoretical investigation of the electron–surface optical phonon (SOP) interaction in Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) formed by monolayer graphene (1LG) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), using eigenenergies obtai...
