The effectiveness of polystyrene (PS)/TiO2 nanocomposite coatings in reducing stress–corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of aluminum alloy 2024-T3 (AA2024-T3) was evaluated using an accelerated stress–corrosion test. Polystyrene (PS)-...
Hydrogen (H2) is a key energy vector in the global transition toward clean and sustainable energy systems. Among the various production methods, water electrolysis presents a promising pathway for zero-emission hydrogen generation when powered by ren...
The use of polyester and polyamide fabrics for parachute constructions has a great advantage because, in comparison with classical silk-based parachutes, they are more durable and suitable for absorbing higher mechanical shocks. Because polyester and...
This study presents the design, development, and evaluation of a multifunctional stepladder that integrates four functionalities: a stepladder, Pilates chair, wheelchair, and walking aid. Unlike existing research that focuses on single-function assis...
Similarly to previous Special Issues of this series, the aim of this fourth edition of “Feature Papers in Eng” is to collect experimental and theoretical works related to engineering science and technology [...]
In the face of the global depletion of natural resources and increasing demand for sustainable development, processing industrial waste, such as tailings from processing plants, is becoming essential. This study focuses on combined processing technol...
This paper presents laboratory results on the physical–mechanical properties of frozen rocks from Russia’s Yamal Peninsula, aiming to improve foundation design in permafrost. Samples from various geological profiles underwent compression...
This work presents a method for classifying EEG (Electroencephalogram) signals generated when a person concentrates on specific words, defined as “Imagined Speech”. Imagined speech is essential to enhance problem-solving, memory, and lang...
The recycling of cable scrap, particularly from discarded electrical wiring, is gaining significant attention due to the rising demand for copper and the need for sustainable management of electronic waste. Traditionally, mechanical and thermal proce...
Ensuring the overall efficiency of hydraulic fracturing treatment depends on the ability to forecast bottomhole pressure. It has a direct impact on fracture geometry, production efficiency, and cost control. Since the complications present in contemp...
The transition to clean energy has accelerated the pursuit of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel. Among various production methods, proton exchange membrane electrolysis cells (PEMECs) stand out due to their ability to generate ultra-pure hydrogen with e...
The increasing demand for sustainable road infrastructure necessitates alternative materials that enhance soil stabilization while reducing environmental impact. This study investigated the application of organosilane-based nanotechnology to improve...
The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of the surface deformations of an open inflatable wing section on aerodynamic performance and boundary layer separation phenomena. The inflation/deflation processes are allowed by an air intake placed...
The United Kingdom seeks to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, mostly via the shift to an electrical system exclusively powered by zero-carbon sources. Microgrids (MGs) can be seen as an effective system for integrating renewables into the energy po...
The aviation sector faces a significant challenge in balancing the rising demand for air travel with the need to reduce its environmental impact. Because air travel accounts for approximately 2.5% of global carbon emissions, there is a need to find s...
Scaling in geothermal production wells poses a critical challenge to sustainable energy production, particularly in vapor-dominated systems where scaling mechanisms are less understood. This study investigates scale treatment planning using the broac...
This review paper investigates the comprehensive impact of various nanomaterials on the mechanical properties and durability of pavement-quality concrete (PQC) with a specific focus on compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength,...
Soil controls water distribution, which is crucial for accurate hydrological modeling. MOHID-Land is a physically based, spatially distributed model that uses van Genuchten–Mualem (VGM) functions to calculate water content in porous media. The...
Online monitoring of partial discharge (PD) is a complex task traditionally requiring specialized expertise. However, recent advancements in signal processing and machine learning have facilitated the development of automated tools to identify and ca...
Optimizing agricultural tire traction is essential for improving field efficiency and minimizing soil degradation. This study examines the influence of lug spacing and vertical load on traction performance using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in ANSYS...
Perovksite solar cells have emerged as a promising photovoltaic technology due to their high increasing power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, challenges related to thermal instability and material toxicity, especially in lead-based perovskites,...
The advent of small modular reactors (SMRs) represents a transformative leap in nuclear technology. With their smaller size, modular construction, and safety features, SMRs address challenges faced by traditional reactors. However, these technologica...
