In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) materials have been widely used for various applications due to their low cost, high charge carrier mobility, and tunable electronic structure. Here, in this study, we present the application of molybdenum disulf...

Early in fatigue life, fatigue cracks are often initiated at persistent slip bands (PSBs), which play the main role in surface evolution when the components are subjected to cyclic loading. Therefore, this paper aims to study the behavior of the surf...

In the aerospace field, the riveting process is one of the main methods for connecting the Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer/Plastic (CFRP). During the riveting process, components are prone to problems such as damage to CFRP hole walls and reduction i...

In this study, a combined experimental and finite element modeling methodology (FEM) for a nanoindentation study is presented to quantitatively investigate the influence of hydrogen on the mechanical properties of ferrite and austenite in 2205 duplex...

Zinc biodegradable implants represent a revolutionary advancement in medical technology, offering a promising alternative to titanium and stainless-steel implants and avoiding the need for secondary surgeries for removal. In this study, we aimed to f...

The perfect strategy for the generation of green and renewable hydrogen (H2) fuels is the direct electrocatalytic splitting of plentiful seawater rather than scarce freshwater. One of the half-reactions taking place during the electrocatalytic splitt...

In this paper, 20 µm and 40 µm thick aluminide coatings were deposited on MAR-M247 nickel-based superalloy through the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process in a hydrogen protective atmosphere for 4 h and 12 h, respectively, at a temper...

Mud caking on shield cutterhead is a critical issue for tunnel safety, and temperature and duration are factors that can affect the characteristics of mud cake. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the characteristics of different temperatu...

In this study, we theoretically study the optical bistability (OB) of reflected light beams at visible light frequencies by using a Kretschmann–Raether (KR) configuration where double-layer MoS2 is inserted. This OB phenomenon results from the...

Straw fibers are renowned for their cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and durability. They represent a promising natural reinforcement option for reactive powder concrete (RPC). This paper investigated the impact of straw fibers on RPC’s work...
