This study investigated the mechanical properties of concrete specimens produced with a limestone aggregate through laboratory testing. Destructive tests, specifically concrete compressive strength and splitting tensile strength tests, were conducted...

This article focuses on the microstructural evolution and mechanical property changes of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel corrugated pipes after aging treatment and solution treatment. The influence of different heat treatment processes on the mic...

The proper design of concrete mixtures is a critical task in concrete technology, where optimal strength, eco-friendliness, and production efficiency are increasingly demanded. While traditional analytical methods, such as the Three Equations Method,...

This paper presents a comprehensive model for the inertia force field acting on a moving connecting rod. The derived formulas enable the accurate calculation of resultant inertia forces and their distribution on individual components for finite eleme...

Mullite–corundum ceramics are pivotal in heat transfer pipelines and thermal energy storage systems due to their excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. Establishing relationships and mechanisms through traditiona...

The introduction of alkaline earth oxides into Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glass components can improve the mechanical and optical performances of glass and glass–ceramics for various applications. In this research, microstructures, thermal properties, cry...

This study focuses on the cobalt-free medium-to-high-entropy alloys AlxCrFe2Ni2 and AlxTixCrFe2Ni2, investigating the influence of Alx and Tix (where x = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6) on the development of microstructural and mechanical properties in...

Lead–zinc tailings are waste materials generated from mineral processing and smelting, and their long-term accumulation poses potential threats to the environment and soil. To achieve resource recycling and sustainable development, this study u...

Carbon fiber-reinforced composite stringers, which support aircraft skins in resisting tensile, compressive, and shear loads, are widely used in aircraft structures. These composite structures play a crucial role in enhancing the performance and safe...

In this paper, a conformal UHF antenna with a wide-angle radar cross section (RCS) reduction capability is proposed. The radiator of the design is a planar monopole antenna. Since the large physical size of the antenna in UHF band can generate a scat...
