Punching shear in concrete reinforced flat slabs with steel fibers and shear reinforcement

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2018
Steel fibers in reinforced concrete increase the performance of slab-column connection once they increase ductility and energy absorption capacity of the concrete. The use of fibers in flat slabs may increase strength and change the mode of failure.

A Soft Mechanoluminescent Skin for High‐Resolution Optical Tactile Sensing in Human–Machine Interaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A soft mechanoluminescent tactile sensor that converts force directly into light is presented, enabling imaging‐based, wiring‐free touch sensing. By integrating a flexible ML‐skin with CMOS readout, the system achieves high sensitivity, fast response, and high spatial resolution, while maintaining structural simplicity and energy efficiency, offering a

Punching shear resistance of reinforced concrete footings: evaluation of design codes

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2018
Punching is a possible failure mode for slender footings and it may lead a structure to ruin through progressive collapse. Although footing present different geometric characteristics, their punching shear design is based on the empirical methods used ...

Hierarchical Twin Networks Enable Exceptional Strength and Fracture Toughness in Titanium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A commercial‐purity titanium with hierarchical ultrafine twin structures delivers an exceptional combination of fracture toughness (KJIc) of 187 MPa·m1/2 and specific yield strength of 140 MPa·cm3·g−1, in which pre‐engineered high‐density twin boundaries stimulate massive and dislocations to blunt crack tip.

Synergistic Stabilization of Potassium Metal Anodes Through Orange‐Peel Elimination and Robust Solid–Electrolyte Interphase Formation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Synergistic control of surface uniformity and solid–electrolyte interphase robustness regulates potassium deposition, suppressing dendritic growth and enabling uniform, dense potassium plating. This combined strategy promotes stable interfacial chemistry and homogeneous electric‐field distribution, leading to enhanced reversibility and long‐term ...

Microblasting Wound Dressings Mechanically Disrupt Polymicrobial Biofilms to Enhance Healing in Treatment‐Resistant Wounds

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Treatment‐resistant wounds caused by polymicrobial biofilms are refractory to conventional therapies due to the dense extracellular matrices. We developed μBLAST, a microblasting wound dressing that combines MnO2‐doped biosilica and a H2O2‐releasing mesh to generate localized oxygen microbubbles that mechanically disrupt biofilms.

Upscaling Sodium‐Ion Battery Cells: From Aqueous Processing to Performance Assessment of Hard Carbon|Prussian White Pouch Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the feasibility of scaling up Prussian White (PW)‐based cathode manufacturing at a pilot scale. Through careful PW dehydration combined with optimized aqueous processing, we report the stepwise development of industrially relevant 1 Ah pouch cells and evaluate their performance under various conditions.
