Experimental Assessment of the Mechanical Performance of Graphene Nanoplatelets Coated Polymers

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 25, Issue 23, December 2023., 2023
Graphene supercharges polymers for superior vibration isolation! This intriguing study reveals spray‐coated graphene films dramatically enhanced key mechanical properties of three polymers under cyclic loading, including stiffness, modulus, damping, and energy dissipation. What enables graphene to strengthen diverse polymers?

Statistical analysis of an experimental database on residual flexural strengths of fiber reinforced concretes: Performance‐based equations

Structural Concrete, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 3140-3153, October 2022., 2022
Abstract The postcracking capacity of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) mainly depends on the content, material, and geometry of the fibers considered. Even though the general influence of these factors on FRC behavior has been extensively addressed, the uncertainty of the FRC performance prediction along with the variability of the results still poses a

Mechanical Response of Industrial Concrete with SFRC and PFRC

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Concrete is one of the most commonly used construction materials in the world due to its versatility. There are different types of concrete according to the required mechanical responses, and these will depend on the composition of the elements. Therefore, additional elements have been developed to improve the properties and conditions of concrete. One

Participatory mapping reveals socioeconomic drivers of forest fires in protected areas of the post‐conflict Colombian Amazon

People and Nature, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 811-826, August 2021., 2021
Abstract Wildfires have increased in protected areas (PAs) of the Colombian Amazon following the 2016 peace agreement between the Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forced of Colombia (FARC—Spanish acronym). Recent study efforts to understand this issue suffer from data scarcity and limited consultation of local stakeholder perspectives on factors ...
