Novel PTFE/PI Nanofibrous Composite Membranes Enabling High‐Flux Desalination and Durable Anti‐Scaling in Membrane Distillation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration comparing the MD performance of pure PTFE NFMs and PTFE/PI NFMs. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes are widely recognized for their low surface energy and strong resistance to salt accumulation in membrane distillation (MD) processes.

Molecular origin of asymmetric yield surface of crosslinked epoxy polymers

Polymer Testing
In this study, we investigate the multiaxial mechanical behavior of thermosetting epoxy polymers and explore the asymmetry between tension and compression in their yield surfaces at the molecular level using molecular dynamics simulations, complemented ...

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Failure Characteristic and Stability Control of Gob‐Side Entry Retention With Narrow Roadside Filling Wall

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A novel collaborative control technology of gob‐side entry retention with narrow roadside filling wall is proposed, wherein anchoring end of anchor cable must penetrate the boundary line of stress peak (plastic zone). ABSTRACT Gob‐side entry retention represents a major technological innovation in the history of coal mining, offering numerous ...

Mechanical Behaviour of Vacuum‐Infused GFRP Composites at Elevated Temperatures—Influence of Fibre Architecture

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

Flexible multidimensional sensor for comprehensive human motion monitoring and recognition

FlexMat, EarlyView.
A flexible multidimensional sensor based on orthogonally stacked nanofibrous films enables simultaneous detection of in‐plane strain (X/Y) and out‐of‐plane pressure (Z). The ultrathin device exhibits high sensitivity, wide strain range, and excellent directional selectivity.

Insights Into the Mechanisms Controlling the Residual Strength of Bio‐cemented Sands

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an emerging technique for enhancing the mechanical properties of granular soils. Although several experimental studies have reported increased shear strength in MICP‐treated soils at both peak and residual states, other findings have shown reductions in residual strength compared to ...

Negative Stiffness Induced and Controlled by Constriction

physica status solidi (b), EarlyView.
Structures with negative stiffness can be stabilized by constriction of external displacement. Furthermore, constriction can make a conventional positive stiffness material exhibit negative stiffness, either bidirectional or unidirectional (shown in the figure).

Direct evidence for electrostriction‐enhanced piezoelectricity in poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐trifluoroethylene) random copolymers

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Direct experimental evidence for electrostriction‐enhanced piezoelectricity is obtained for a quenched‐stretched‐annealed‐poled P(VDF‐TrFE) 52/48 mol.% random copolymer using time‐resolved small‐angle X‐ray scattering and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction. Upon stretching up to 6% strain, the crystallinity (xc) increases 10% at the expense of the contents ...
