The stress- or temperature-induced martensitic transformation from the cubic β phase to the orthorhombic α″ phase is responsible for superelasticity or a shape memory effect in Ni-free Ti-based shape memory alloys (SMAs) [...]

The impact of the declining domestic workforce in Japan is becoming increasingly serious, making it difficult to secure workers for the operation and maintenance of waste treatment facilities [...]

Fiber-to-fiber recycling must be promoted to achieve sustainability in the textile industry. Mixed fiber materials cause significant issues in recycling, making accurate sorting essential for recycling. Garments may contain internal materials called...

This paper presents a test and analysis of a lateral-offset optical fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) employed as a chloride ion concentration sensor using a near-infrared light source (amplified spontaneous emission, wavelength = 1520–16...

In this work, we report simulation-assisted analysis of a room-temperature (300 K) low-threshold avalanche photodiode (APD) based on a WSe2 homojunction. Device simulations were conducted using a two-band model and the Chynoweth formalism for impact...

The “Heart of Voh”, immortalized by Yann Arthus Bertrand in his book The Earth from the Air, depicts a sparse, heart-shaped clearing in the mangroves of New Caledonia. This highly poetic image is also the physical representation of therma...

To replicate delaminations at the coupon and substructural scales, simulated defects are often introduced into test specimens; therefore, understanding their behaviour within the laminate is essential. Full-field imaging is employed to investigate th...

The properties of long-wave infrared (LWIR) interband cascade photodetectors (ICIPs) with type II superlattices (T2SLs) and gallium-free (Ga-free) InAs/InAsSb absorbers were determined using photoluminescence (PL) and spectral response (SR) measureme...

This paper reports on the applicability of fatigue crack detection with an infrared thermography camera, the T-gap method, to a steel bridge in Denmark. The T-gap method is a non-destructive test developed in Japan and does not require approaching cl...

Deep Learning (DL) algorithms need extensive amounts of data for classification tasks, which can be costly in specialized fields like maritime monitoring. To address data scarcity, we propose a fine-tuning approach leveraging complementary Infrared (...
