Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Optimization of the Production of Rubber Compounds Using Mathematical Models
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Rubber compounds were mixed in a batch internal mixer, and symbolic regression was used to derive mathematical models linking recipe and process parameters to ram path, torque, and mixing quality (incorporation, dispersion, distribution). Subsequent optimization with evolutionary algorithms identified operating conditions that reduce specific energy ...

Oedometer consolidation test analysis by nonlinear regression
, 2015 A numerical method based on least squares nonlinear regression for the evaluation of the consolidation parameters of soils from consolidation tests is presented. A model which includes the initial compression, the primary consolidation, and the secondary

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A novel workflow for investigating hydride vapor phase epitaxy for GaN bulk crystal growth is proposed. It combines Design of experiments (DoE) with physical simulations of mass transport and crystal growth kinetics, serving as an intermediate step between DoE and experiments.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Scandium (Sc)‐doped AlCoCrFeMo HEA coatings are fabricated via flame spraying with 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt% Sc additions. Among these, the HEA‐Sc0.3 coating exhibits the highest corrosion resistance, indicated by a more positive corrosion potential and lower current density.

One-dimensional electroosmosis consolidation model considering variable saturation
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017 The existing models for electroosmosis are based on the hypothesis of fully saturated soil regime. Variable saturation occurs in the soil regime, thus a new model is expected to improve the calculation accuracy.
