The reliability design of automotive structures is characterized by numerous variables and implicit responses. The traditional design of experiments for metamodel construction often requires manual adjustment of model parameters and extensive finite...
In this study, a phase field viscoplastic model is proposed to model the influence of the loading rate on the ductile fracture, as one of the main causes of metallic alloys’ failure. To this aim, the effects of the phase field are incorporated in the...
As the number and length of high-speed railway tunnels increase in China, implicit defects such as insufficient lining thicknesses, voids, and poor compaction have become increasingly common, posing a serious threat to train operation safety. It is,...
The intensifying urbanization has led to the increasing risk of urban landscape character fading away. How to inherit and control the “genes” of urban landscape features is a crucial issue that needs urgent resolution. To address this iss...
In this study, we describe a non-invasive approach to objectively assess fragrance-induced emotions using multiplex salivary biomarker profiling. Traditional self-reports, physiological monitoring, and neuroimaging remain limited by subjectivity, inv...
Selective laser melting (SLM) equipment operates as a complex cyber–physical system, wherein strong implicit coupling among internal subsystems presents significant challenges for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis. Existing deep learning...
This study explores how concepts related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are represented in upper-primary school textbooks, with a focus on identifying patterns of inclusion, emphasis, and conceptual balance. Using a qualitative content e...
The present study addresses the question of whether explicit, survey-type measures of attitude differ in sensitivity when compared to implicit, non-conscious measures of attitude in the context of attitude changes in response to evaluative conditioni...
The performance upgrading of stratospheric airships hinges on breakthroughs in the mechanical properties of envelope materials. As a multi-layer composite, the envelope’s load-bearing layer exhibits orthotropic and nonlinear mechanical behavior...
Anisotropic polymers fabricated via additive manufacturing exhibit complex thermal transport profiles that are challenging to characterize using steady-state techniques. We present a transient thermal method utilizing a short rectangular current puls...
Early diagnosis is essential for the effective management of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Although conventional auscultation is the primary screening method, its reliance on subjective interpretation and susceptibility to clinical background noise...
Background: Environmental determinants of health (EnvDoH) are widely recognised as shaping health and behaviour, yet little attention has been given to how they are conceptually defined. This is notable given their use across disciplines and the lack...
Visually impaired individuals rely on cross-modal plasticity to compensate for absent visual input, yet the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying naturalistic auditory–olfactory integration remain poorly characterized. This study investigate...
