Influence of Thermal Cycling on Friction, Wear, and Damage Evolution of Fused Deposition Modeling of 3D‐Printed Glass Fiber Reinforced Polylactic Acid Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 18, Page 16212-16232, 20 September 2026.
Schematic illustration of the experimental procedure of the specimens. ABSTRACT This research work investigated the effect of the cyclic thermo‐hygrometric aging regime between −20°C and +40°C with 0–400 cycles on the reciprocating tribological properties of fused deposition modeling (FDM) printed polylactic acid (PLA) and the same material reinforced ...

Prediction of plastic deformation and wear in railway crossings – Comparing the performance of two rail steel grades

open access: yes, 2019
Railway crossings are subjected to a severe load environment leading to damage and degradation of rail profiles. The damage is the result of the high magnitudes of contact pressure and slip generated in the wheel–rail contacts during each wheel ...

Inkjet‐Printed h‐BN Memristors with a Record Endurance under Low‐Currents

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 17, 7 September 2026.
An inkjet‐printed memristor based on h‐BN flakes achieves a record endurance of 2.2 million cycles through a current‐controlled method. This device transitions between volatile and non‐volatile regimes to effectively emulate both artificial neurons and synapses.

Rolling contact fatigue, wear and broken rail derailments

open access: yes, 2015
Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) and wear are inevitable in the wheel/rail system, but resulting failures and derailments need not also be inevitable. Understanding why and under which conditions broken rails and derailments are likely to occur will focus ...

China‐Europe Railway Express and Innovation by Chinese Manufacturing Firms: An Analysis Based on Technology Spillovers From Differentiated Products

open access: yesAsia &the Pacific Policy Studies, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Amid global supply chain restructuring, this study examines how the China‐Europe Railway Express transitions from logistics connectivity to innovation empowerment. Using its launch as a quasi‐natural experiment, we find that the China‐Europe Railway Express significantly accelerates innovation in Chinese manufacturing firms, especially for ...

Concept, Tests, and Optimum Design of Novel Negative Stiffness Friction Dampers for Seismic Protection of Long‐Span Bridges

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2719-2741, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a
