Evaluation of the Potential of Laser Shock Peening Compared with Cold Expansion for Improving Fatigue Resistance of Riveted Lap Joints of Aerospace Grade 7175 Al Alloy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates laser shock peening for enhancing fatigue performance of riveted aerospace aluminum joints. A comparative approach with cold expansion combines fatigue testing and synchrotron X‐ray methods. Integrating mechanical testing with residual stress and strain characterization provides insights into how different treatments affect the ...

On the Impact Energy Absorption of an Advanced High‐Strength Bilayer Steel Composite Consisting of Carbide‐Free Bainitic Steel and High‐Mn Twinning‐Induced Plasticity Steel

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Excellent combinations of strength and impact toughness are obtained in a bilayer composite of high‐strength carbide‐free bainitic (CFB) steel and high‐ductility twinning‐induced plasticity (TWIP) steel. The composite absorbs energy at small strains when the notch is placed on the TWIP side and at high strains when the notch is placed on the CFB side ...

Trace Nickel Activated Biphasic Core‐CuOii/Shell‐CuOi Secondary Microspheres Enable Room Temperature Parts‐Per‐Trillion‐Level NO2 Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An idea of designing novel sensors is proposed by creating appropriate Schottky barriers and vacancies between isomorphous Core‐CuOii/ Shell‐CuOi secondary microspheres and enhancing catalytic and spill‐over effects, and electronegativity via spontaneous biphasic separation, self‐assembly, and trace‐Ni‐doping.

Seismic fragility curves for the European building stock: review and evaluation of existing fragility curves

open access: yes, 2015
Earthquakes continue to represent a serious threat for some European countries, particularly for Mediterranean bordering countries, where these events have been triggering significant destruction and loss over the last decades. Despite the unpredictable nature of earthquakes, seismic risk assessment should be addressed having in mind the main cause of ...

Spectrum-consistent ag-based fragility curves

open access: yes
In the field of earthquake engineering, Fragility Curves (FCs) have become indispensable for regional risk assessments due to their efficacy in estimating the failure probabilities of diverse structures, including buildings and bridges, based on certain intensity measures.

Dielectric and Dilatometric Studies of Glass Transitions in Thin Polymer Films

open access: yes, 2000
Dielectric relaxation and thermal expansion spectroscopy were made for thin polystyrene films in order to measure the temperature $T_{\alpha}$ corresponding to the peak in the loss component of susceptibility due to the $\alpha$-process and the $\alpha ...

An Inkjet‐Printed Platinum‐Based Temperature Sensing Element on Polyimide Substrates

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An inkjet‐printed, meander‐structured, nanoparticle platinum‐based resistive temperature sensors on polyimide substrates are demonstrated as proof‐of‐concept. Optimized sintering at 250°C enables stable conductive structures. The Pt100‐ and Pt1000‐type sensors exhibit linear resistance–temperature characteristics with stable TCR in the 20°C–80°C range,

Developing fragility curves and estimating failure probabilities for protected steel structural elements subject to fully developed fires [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Reliability methods are at the core of ambient Eurocode design. Realising exceptional / complex buildings necessitates that an adequate level of safety be demonstrated. Rationally demonstrating adequate safety can only be achieved through the application

Rods are less fragile than spheres: Structural relaxation in dense liquids composed of anisotropic particles

open access: yes, 2012
We perform extensive molecular dynamics simulations of dense liquids composed of bidisperse dimer- and ellipse-shaped particles in 2D that interact via repulsive contact forces. We measure the structural relaxation times obtained from the long-time decay
