Canola Fiber as Reinforcement for Composites: Effect of Fiber Extraction and Processing Method on Fiber Properties, Nonwoven Manufacturing, and Composite Properties

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Comparison of canola fiber reinforced composites manufactured using water‐retted, field‐retted, and enzyme‐treated fibers. ABSTRACT Canola fibers obtained from discarded stalks through various processing methods, including water‐retting and field‐retting followed by mechanical decortication and enzymatic degradation, were utilized as discontinuous ...

Optimization of Microfluidic Geometry for Extracellular Vesicle Capture Using an Automated Parallel Pattern Search

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microfluidic affinity‐based capture of extracellular vesicles (EVs) holds great promise for disease diagnostics and monitoring therapeutic EV production. However, optimizing microfluidic channel geometries for efficient EV capture remains understudied due to the effort required to experimentally test numerous designs.

Experimental Study of Punching Shear on Reinforced Concrete Waffle Slabs Strengthened by CFRP Sheets

Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences
For the last five decades, researchers have been studying the punching shear of two-way reinforced slabs at column supports in structural testing laboratories. Limited tests are available on retrofitted waffle slab punching behavior. These are necessary

Performance of Shear Reinforcement against Punching Shear Loads

International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2019
This research targets to maximize the ductility and strength of the reinforced concrete flat slabs. However, to be efficient, the shear reinforcement must be anchored well in the tension and compression zones of the slab. The test results on the slab-column connection models which provided with shear reinforcement are introduced in this study.

On‐Chip Evaluation of Red Blood Cell Deformability Through Transit Velocity Index in Hematological Diseases

Small, EarlyView.
The deformability of red blood cell is essential for smooth microcirculation. We propose a deformability index using a microfluidic platform with capillary‐like constrictions, based on the relationship between cell deformation and transit velocity through the constrictions. Its effectiveness and clinical potential have been demonstrated in applications

A Hybrid Solid‐State Battery with a Panoramic‐Scale Stack of Bulk Electrodes and a Thin‐Film Electrolyte

Small, EarlyView.
A hybrid all‐solid‐state battery (ASSB) is implemented by integrating a thin‐film electrolyte on a bulk anode, and a thick cathode sheet. A densified anode substrate with suppressed porosity is prepared by cold pressing. Thin‐film electrolyte is fabricated onto the bulk substrate via co‐sputtering and infrared‐based rapid annealing.

Filling a Gap in Materials Mechanics: Nanoindentation at High Constant Strain Rates up to 105 s−1

Small, EarlyView.
A piezoelectric nanoindentation platform enables constant strain‐rate testing up to 105 s−1, extending experimental capabilities to extreme deformation regimes. Distinct hardness upturns are revealed across crystalline and amorphous materials, verified as intrinsic responses through quasi‐static reloading.

Press Hardening for Sustainable Lightweight Chassis Design in Heavy‐Duty Vehicles: A Material Performance and Life Cycle Assessment Approach

steel research international, EarlyView.
The article explores how high‐strength steels and press hardening revolutionize lightweight chassis design for heavy‐duty vehicles. It reveals that press hardened steels combined with shot peening can cut weight by up to 34% and reduce environmental impact by 21%–32%.

Experimental investigation of reinforced concrete members subjected to reversed cyclic axial loading

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents an experimental campaign of five reinforced concrete members subjected to cyclic axial loading alternating between tension and compression. Fiber optical sensors and digital image correlation, in combination with automated crack detection and measurement, were used to investigate, among other aspects, the development of ...
