Long-term operation of the supporting surfaces of large-sized parts, in particular tubular units of thermal power plants, leads to the destruction of the contact surfaces. Moisture penetrates into the formed discontinuities, and the vibrations presen...

The performance of the porous gas bearing depends on the geometric characteristics, material, fluid properties, and the properties of the porous media, which is a restrictor that controls the gas flow. Its application in industrial environments must...

This research seeks to solve the multi-faceted problem of waste disposal by analysing the application of waste plastic and tyre material within non-structural concrete to ensure more sustainability and less environmental degradation. The study focuss...

In recent years, driver assistance systems in cars, buses, and trucks have become more common and powerful. In particular, the introduction of AI methods to sensors, signal fusion, and traffic recognition allows us to step forward from actual level-2...

Enhancing the degree of polymerization can mitigate the cytotoxic effects of resinous materials, as residual monomers have been identified as a significant contributor to cytotoxicity. Hence, the aim of the current research was to evaluate the influe...

This paper describes the self-heating effects resulting from mechanical deformation in the additively manufactured aluminium alloy AlSi7Mg0.6. The material’s self-heating effect results from irreversible changes in the material’s microstr...

Aluminium alloys are used for the fabrication of the fuel clad of research-grade nuclear reactors as well as for several types of core components of high-flux research reactors. In order to carry out design and safety analysis of these components, th...

Due to its significant non-linear softening characteristics and its wide variety of use cases, concrete has received considerable attention for the modeling of its mechanical behavior. The non-linear simulation of linear concrete structures is often...

By means of relaxation methods, residual stresses can be obtained by introducing a progressive cut or a hole in a specimen and by measuring and elaborating the strains or displacements that are consequently produced. If the cut can be considered a co...

Laser additive manufacturing with mixed powders of aluminum alloy and silicon carbide (SiC) or boron carbide (B₄C) is investigated in this experiment. With various mixing ratios of SiC/Al to form metal matrix composites (MMC), their mechanical and ph...

This literature review provides an in-depth exploration of the research conducted on residual stresses (RS) in Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) products, particularly focusing on how process parameters influence the phenomenon. The motivation o...

Reinforced Concrete (RC) members in existing RC structures are susceptible to shear-critical due to their under-reinforced design. Thus, implementing a retrofitting technique is essential to eliminate the casualties that could arise from sudden and c...
