A Janus‐Like Bio‐Inspired Strategy for 3D‐Printed Bimetallic Metamaterials with Excellent Thermal‐Protection and Load Bearing Capacity

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.
A Janus‐like bio‐inspired strategy is proposed for integrally 3D‐printed bimetallic metamaterials. Inspired by shell bilayers, a heat‐resistant AlSiFeMnNiMg alloy and a SiC‐reinforced AlSi10Mg with different SiC volume fractions are arranged as an architected pair.

Control Effectiveness of Vortex Generators in High‐Speed Flows in Off‐Design Conditions

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In aerospace transportation and propulsion systems, shock‐induced flow separation has strong detrimental effects on the aerodynamic behavior and performance. To alleviate these effects, separation control is necessary. A commonly pursued approach uses vortex generators (VG) of different design to increase the momentum transfer within the ...

Transpiration Cooling Tests of Porous CMC in Hypersonic Flow

, 2011
During hypersonic flight the temperatures on the vehicle can reach very high values in certain locations. A hypersonic flight vehicle needs to be designed aerodynamically efficient. That results in rather small nose and leading edge radii which drives up
