The Poisson effect, measured by the Poisson’s ratio, plays an important role in the regulation of the elastic properties of composite materials, but it is not considered in the conventional Voigt (iso-strain) and Reuss (iso-stress) formulas, wh...
In this study, we compared the material properties of linearly and sharply graded Ti6Al4V additively manufactured samples to investigate whether the more severe discontinuities caused by sharp grading can reduce performance. We performed compression...
The effect of the microstructure heterogeneity on the tensile plastic deformation characteristic of friction-stir-welded (FSW) dual-phase (DP) steel was investigated for the potential applications on the lightweight design of vehicles. Friction-stir-...
Choosing a suitable prosthesis to restore the functionality of the hip joint is a complex problem. The stem geometries, materials, and type of hip damage are critical factors for avoiding potential issues (aseptic loosening, fracture, and natural wea...
This manuscript presents an experimental and numerical analysis of the mechanical structural behavior of Nylstrong GF-PA6, a plastic material manufactured using FDM (fused deposition modeling) technology for a compression uniaxial stress field. First...
Sulfidogenic bacteria cause numerous issues in the oil industry since they produce sulfide, corroding steel equipment, reducing oil quality, and worsening the environmental conditions in oil fields. The purpose of this work was to isolate and taxonom...
Soil salinity, affecting 20–50% of irrigated farmland globally, poses a significant threat to agriculture and food security, worsened by climate change and increasing droughts. Traditional methods for managing saline soils—such as leachin...
Stress–strain curves are generally a very important material characteristic. For example, in numerical simulations, especially in sheet metal forming, stress–strain curves represent one of the most important data inputs. However, there is...
In biomedical engineering, laser powder bed fusion is an advanced manufacturing technology, which enables, for example, the production of patient-customized implants with complex geometries. Ti-6Al-7Nb shows promising improvements, especially regardi...
Continuous casting is the most common method for producing steel into semi-finished shapes like billets or slabs. Throughout this process, steel experiences mechanical and thermal stresses, which influence its mechanical properties. During continuous...
The prevention and mitigation of spalling in high-strength concrete (HSC) rely on mixing polypropylene (PP) as an additive reinforcement. The dense internal structures of ultra-high-strength concrete (UHSC) result in risks associated with a high ther...
The paper examines the impact of passive restraint on fire-induced spalling in concrete, utilizing a concrete mixture to minimize compositional variability. A variety of specimen geometries was prepared, including standard cubes and cylinders for the...

Global heating is subjecting more of the planet to longer periods of higher heat stress categories commonly employed to determine safe work durations. This study compared predicted worker heat strain and labour capacity for a recent normal climate (1...
Compressibility is one of the most important mechanical properties of soil. The parameter that characterizes compressibility is the constrained modulus of elasticity. Knowledge of this is important to calculate the settlement of a structure foundatio...
Ambient Assisted Working (AAW) is a discipline aiming to provide comfort and safety in the workplace through customization and technology. Workers’ comfort may be compromised in many labor situations, including those depending on environmental condit...
The application of tissue-engineered heart valves in the high-pressure circulatory system is still challenging. One possible solution is the development of biohybrid scaffolds with textile reinforcement to achieve improved mechanical properties. In t...
While many studies on fused filament fabrication (FFF)-printed polymers focus on ultimate tensile strength or failure analysis, the elastic region of the stress–strain curve is frequently overlooked. However, in most engineering applications, c...
To investigate the residual shear capacity of post-fire bolted side-plated (BSP) reinforced concrete (RC) beams with different depths of steel plate and types of anchor adhesive, i.e., magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) and HIT-RE500, a control beam...
The development of medical implants is an ongoing process pursued by many studies in the biomedical field. The focus is on enhancing the structure of the implants to improve their biomechanical properties, thus reducing the imperfections for the pati...
Exponentially growing technologies such as intelligent robots in the context of Industry 4.0 are radically changing traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing with increased productivity and flexibility. Workspaces are being transformed i...
