Reversing Fatigue Damage in Carbon Fiber–Thermoplastic Composites Using Localized Plasma Heating

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the plasma‐assisted repair strategy for fatigue‐damaged short fiber carbon fiber/ABS composites. Pristine specimens are subjected to cyclic fatigue loading inducing damage. Localized plasma heating softens the thermoplastic matrix, enabling healing and restoring mechanical performance. Tensile testing is used to quantify recovery.

Thermal Management and Mechanical Properties of Epoxy‐Sandwich Composites Containing Microencapsulated Phase Change Material

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of a multifunctional sandwich composite consisting of face sheets and a PCM‐filled epoxy foam core, combining structural performance with thermal energy storage capability. ABSTRACT In this work, epoxy (EP) foams containing 10, 20, and 30 wt% of microencapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) were developed as potential cores ...

A flexible arched artificial photoreceptor constructed by photodeformable liquid crystal polymers and its application in vision restoration

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
A flexible arched artificial photoreceptor with high stability and biocompatibility was fabricated by integrating liquid crystal polymers with polyvinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene. This device exhibits robust photoelectric responses under low‐intensity illumination and demonstrates efficacy in restoring visual responses in blind rats following ...

A Comparative Study of Directed Energy Deposition‐Arc and Casting: Enhancing Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Hot‐Work Tool Steels

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
The study investigates the influence of DED‐Arc/M versus casting on the microstructure and material properties of X40CrMoV5‐1 (AISI H13) hot‐work tool steel. DED‐Arc/M yields finer microstructures, superior mechanical strength, and ductility, but slightly reduced thermal conductivity.

Colorimetric Thermography by a Long‐Infrared Dual‐Band Metalens

open access: yesAdvanced Science
Infrared (IR) radiation thermography is extensively utilized in diverse fields due to its non‐contact capability. Nevertheless, its effectiveness is often compromised by the significant emissivity variations among different objects, limiting its ...

Crack growth around stress concentrations in pipes and tubes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Fatigue crack growth behaviour in pipes fundamentally differs from fatigue growth in shafts and flat plates. The aim of this paper is to give a better understanding of this phenomenon.

Increasing the Reuse Potential of High‐Strength Steels by Extending the Fatigue Life through Surface Treatments

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
Surface reconditioning through mechanical and electrochemical polishing is shown to extend the fatigue life of predamaged 42CrMo4 steel by over 12 times. By removing ≈100 μm of surface material, surface‐driven fatigue damage is mitigated. This study introduces a reuse potential metric to evaluate fatigue recovery and support sustainable steel reuse.

Physiological field evaluation for drought tolerance. Field phenotyping methods for the development of the new synthetic population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Cirad/CIAT collaborative project has developed a breeding program based on the recurrent selection (RS) for an eco-efficiency use of water. Selection was primarily based on yield and, in the course of the selection process, screening methods were ...
