Decay results for viscoelastic diffusion equations in absence of instantaneous elasticity
We study the diffusion equation in the absence of instantaneous elasticity $$ u_t-int_0^{t}g(t-au )Delta u(au ),dau =0,quad (x,t)in Omega imes (0,+infty ), $$ where $Omega subset mathbb{R}^n$, subjected to nonlinear boundary conditions.

Laser wire directed energy deposition process was leveraged to fabricate large scale NiTi alloy wall. Evaluation of build‐height‐dependent tribo‐mechanical properties revealed significant differences in location specific sample characteristics. The middle region achieved optimal performance (superior wear resistance, balanced strength‐ductility ...

Rate of decay for solutions of viscoelastic evolution equations
In this article we consider a Cauchy problem of a nonlinear viscoelastic equation of order four. Under suitable conditions on the initial data and the relaxation function, we prove polynomial and logarithmic decay of solutions.

Experimental Analysis and Physics‐Based Analytical Model on Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles
Twisted and coiled artificial muscles made from silver‐coated nylon fibers are investigated through experiments and analytical modeling. The actuators achieve contractions up to 19.3% and specific work of 8 kJ kg−1, though efficiency remains limited (≈0.15%) by thermal losses.

A Positron Lifetime Study of Cooling and Natural Aging of Solutionized Aluminum Alloys
The process during cooling of Al–Mg and Al–Mg–Si alloys from the solutionizing temperature down to 20 °C is interrupted. These states are analyzed with positron lifetime spectroscopy to trace the processes during cooling. In different temperature ranges, two stages of vacancy loss and solute clustering are identified.
