Advanced Multifunctional Oil Structurants for Sustainable Lubricants Engineered by Electrospinning Lignin/Cellulose Acetate Butyrate Nanofibers and TiO2 Atomic Layer Deposition

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
This work investigates the potential of electrospun nanofibers derived from kraft lignin and cellulose acetate–butyrate as structuring agents for vegetable oils and their modification with TiO2 by means of atomic layer deposition to impart remarkably tribological properties, featuring a new generation of efficient, multifunctional and eco‐friendly ...

Humidity‐Resistant Ultralow Friction in Diamond‐Like Carbon Coatings Enabled by Graphitic Nanodiamonds

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
The functionalization with graphitic nanodiamonds enhances friction reduction in diamond‐like carbon‐based interfaces. It promotes the formation of a stable, highly graphitic transfer layer, maintaining the core–shell arrangement. This study extends recent advances in superlubricity, providing insights into lubrication mechanisms in humid environments ...

Reliability and partial factor‐based assessment of a highway bridge supported by nondestructive testing

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The preservation of the degrading transport infrastructure is vital, as replacing it is impossible in view of limited budgets and environmental impacts. One component in overcoming this challenge is the evaluation of the reliability and the calculation of the remaining service life of existing structures.

Experimental behavior of shear deficient RC beams strengthened with CFRP strips against reversible cyclic earthquake load

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aims to prevent sudden and brittle shear failures in reinforced concrete beams, which are frequently caused by deficiencies in shear reinforcement. Following the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in Turkey on February 6, 2023, inspections revealed that many reinforced concrete beams suffered severe damage due to design errors, high shear ...

Investigations on the shear load‐bearing behavior of functionally graded concrete beams with mineral hollow spheres

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The technology of functionally graded concrete (FGC) enables a significant reduction in the mass of concrete components while maintaining all structural and functional requirements through a targeted design of the interior of components. The present work deals with the principle of meso‐gradation, where spherical mineral hollow bodies are ...
