Intelligent Continuum Micromachines in Complex Confined Spaces

SmartBot, EarlyView.
The cover depicts a conceptual design for an intelligent continuum micromachine entering a target capsule used in fusion‐energy research through its slender gas‐fill tube. By combining route‐adaptive deformation, embedded sensing, and a functional end effector, the robot could inspect hidden defects, assess local conditions, and support localized ...

Non‐Invasive Smart Pressure Sensor for Early‐Stage Thermal Runaway Warning for Cylindrical Batteries

Small, EarlyView.
A smart pressure sensor based on shape memory sensing composite is introduced, which enables conformal contact with cylindrical batteries and can continuously monitor the lateral pressure caused by volume expansion during charging‐discharging. This smart sensor features impressive stability, recoverability and a broad pressure detection range.

Investigation of Serrated Flow in Intercritically Annealed Medium Manganese Steel by In Situ Synchrotron X‐Ray Diffraction

steel research international, EarlyView.
Serrations and stepwise austenite phase transformation were observed in cold‐rolled and annealed medium manganese steels. By in situ XRD experiments, these two phenomena were studied simultaneously. The results show that DSA leads to the creation of PLC bands and load drops in the specimen.

Numerical Study of Argon Bubble Transport and Entrapment in Continuous Casting Using a Multiphase Approach

steel research international, EarlyView.
Bubble transport in continuous casting is controlled by the interaction of bubble size, flow dynamics, and operating conditions. Critical regions governing bubble escape and entrapment are identified, revealing the mechanisms responsible for defect formation and providing practical guidance for process optimization. Argon injection is often used in the

Deformation and strength of grouted sleeve connectors in pre‐fabricated concrete structures: Mechanisms and analytical modeling

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Grouted sleeve connectors (GSCs) are widely used in precast/prefabricated concrete structures. To ensure force transfer, connectors are often overdesigned in length. This practice has an unintended consequence of reducing the plastic deformation capacity of the connection region and hence the displacement ductility of the precast structure as ...

A probabilistic framework for modeling chloride‐induced corrosion and related load‐deformation behaviour of reinforced concrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Chloride‐exposed reinforced‐concrete structures often suffer localized corrosion, so corrosion initiation time and average steel loss are poor indicators of structural performance. This paper presents a spatially resolved, proof‐of‐concept framework that couples diffusion‐based chloride ingress and initiation with a localized morphology model ...
