Performance Measures for Pavement Assets under Performance Based Contracts
Over the past decade, there has been a movement in North America towards Performance Based Contracts (PBC). In PBCs, the client agency specifies defined minimum performance measures to be met or exceeded during the contract period. PBC operates through a

Fabrication of Composite Cathode for All‐Solid‐State Sodium Batteries
The design of composite cathodes for all‐solid‐state sodium batteries must address three critical challenges—interfacial side reactions, interfacial delamination, and highly tortuous transport pathways. This work outlines structural and interfacial strategies to optimize ion transport and mechanical stability, enabling durable, and high‐performance ...

Predicting asphalt pavement temperature with a three-dimentional finite element method
A Three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model was developed to calculate the temperature of a pavement located in Northeast of Portugal. A case study was developed to validate the model.

A combination of discrete and finite element method models for the current collector deformation and electrochemical performance analysis, respectively. The models are calibrated and validated with electrochemical and imaging data of hard carbon electrodes. These electrodes were manufactured with different parameters (slurry solid contents of 35 and 40

Free Charge Generation in Organic Photoconversion Devices–the Impact of Electrostatic Potentials
Free charge generation in organic photovoltaic and photodetector devices typically requires an external driving force to separate bound excitons formed upon photoexcitation. This review details how electrostatic potentials, arising from molecular charge distributions in organic semiconductors, can impact interfacial energetic landscapes and promote ...
