Characterization of the typology of failures presented in the pavements of the city of Ocaña Norte de Santander

Revista Ingenio, 2017
The failures in the pavements are presented by the progressive deterioration that occurs over time. One way to identify failures is through a visual inspection, which is how in this investigation several sections of the main urban roads in the ...

Influence of Geometric Design on Mechanical Performance of Auxetic Metastructure

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Strategic geometric reinforcement transforms auxetic performance. This study evaluates 3D‐printed arrowhead metastructures, revealing that a modified design with local ring reinforcement suppresses premature failure to achieve superior energy absorption and structural efficiency.

Mechanical Behavior and Fracture Mechanisms of MXene/PVDF Nanocomponsites: In Situ Characterization and Multiscale Analysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multiscale experiments and modeling reveal how Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets reinforce PVDF nanocomposites. An optimal MXene loading (∼1 wt.%) nearly doubles tensile strength through efficient stress transfer, flake alignment, and crack‐deflection mechanisms, transforming ductile polymer behavior into a controlled multi‐stage fracture pathway which aligns ...

Flexible Pavements and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Review and Implications

, 2020
© 2020 by the authors. Flexible pavements and climate are interactive. Pavements are climate sensitive infrastructure, where climate can impact their deterioration rate, subsequent maintenance, and life-cycle costs. Meanwhile, climate mitigation measures

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.

Strengthening and Widening of Flexible Pavement

, 2023
Pavements are important for traffic to operate swiftly, safely, and seamlessly. Pavements can be classified as flexible or rigid in general. Flexible pavements have a low flexural strength and a flexible structural reaction. Stiff pavements can be distinguished by their stiffness and flexural strength. Rapid advancements in car technology have resulted
