The effect of residual stresses arising from laser shock peening on fatigue crack growth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Residual stresses have in the past been introduced to manipulate growth rates and shapes of cracks under cyclic loads. Previously, the effectiveness of shot peening in retarding the rate of fatigue crack growth was experimentally studied.

Probing Electrocatalyst Design for Product Selectivity in CO2 Reduction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Selective CO2 electroreduction is controlled by catalyst structure, dynamic surface reconstruction, adsorbate interactions, and reaction microenvironment. This review summarizes Cu‐ and non‐Cu‐based catalysts, single‐atom and molecular systems, degradation pathways, and operando/computational strategies for steering CO2RR toward hydrocarbons ...

Effect of Voids on the Crack Kinking in Single Lap Joints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Polymer matrix composites are used extensively for their exceptional mechanical properties. The effect of voids on the energy release rate of interface crack has been studied before; however none of the studies investigated the effect of voids on the ...

Flat Bands Induced by Non‐Collinear Antiferromagnetism in CoBi2Te4

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Flat bands emerge at the edges of intrinsically non‐collinear antiferromagnetic CoBi2Te4 two‐septuple layers through the interplay of spin–orbit coupling–driven band inversion and non‐collinear antiferromagnetism, uncovering a previously unexplored mechanism for flat‐band formation and opening new opportunities for strongly correlated quantum states ...

Prediction of fretting crack propagation based on a short crack methodology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Fretting tests have been conducted to determine the maximum crack extension under partial slip conditions, as a function of the applied tangential force amplitude.

Chiral Morphing of Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This paper reviews how macroscopic chirality spontaneously arises from liquid crystal polymer materials. It describes how alignment is utilized to create the mechanical anisotropy, geometric misorientation and asymmetry that leads to chiral shape morphing, how shape selection between helicoids and helices arises, the techniques used to prepare these ...

ACSL4‐Dependent Lysosomal Lipid Peroxidation Links WTAP‐Mediated m6A Modification to Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
IL‐1β upregulates the protein level of WTAP, which promotes the m6A modification of ACSL4 mRNA in an IGF2BP2‐dependent manner, thereby enhancing its stability. The increased ACSL4 drives lipid peroxidation, leading to lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and impaired mitophagy, which collectively accelerate intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD).

Introduction of a fretting-fatigue mapping concept: Development of a dual crack nucleation - crack propagation approach to formalize fretting-fatigue damage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Fretting-fatigue induced by combined localized cyclic contact motion and external bulk fatigue loadings may result in premature and dramatic failure of the contacting components.

Unexpectedly Strong Electrostatic Screening in Nano‐Ion Solutions

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Colloidal probe AFM measurements reveal unexpectedly strong electrostatic screening in aqueous solutions of the polyoxometalates phosphotungstate [PW12O40]3−${[{\rm PW}_{12}{\rm O}_{40}]}^{3-}$ and silicotungstate [SiW12O40]4−$[{\rm SiW}_{12}{\rm O}_{40}]^{4-}$.

Fracture criterion for interface cracks in a tri-material adhesive joint

open access: yesВестник Самарского университета: Естественнонаучная серия
The initiation of a straight crack at the interface between dissimilar materials is considered. A modified maximum tangential stress (MMTS) criterion is presented to predict the conditions for the initiation of failure in initially straight bimaterial ...
