A Review on Polymer Bonding Through Interdiffusion and Role of Deformation‐Acceleration
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 9, September 2026.Polymer bonding is reframed through deformation‐induced bonding, an energy‐efficient route that joins polymer films without conventional heat‐intensive or adhesive‐based processing. By comparing established bonding methods with deformation‐induced bonding, this review highlights potential energy and cost savings while identifying opportunities across ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT In laser‐directed energy deposition (LDED) of TiC/Ti6Al4V composites, a low content of micron‐sized TiC provides a good strengthening effect on hardness and strength, but the improvement in plasticity remains a challenge. By introducing synchronous ultrasonic impact treatment (UIT) into the LDED process, an ultrasonic‐assisted LDED (UA‐LDED ...

Fatigue Crack Modeling of Railheads Using a Nonlinear Cohesive Zone Model
Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 3738-3750, September 2026.ABSTRACT Subsurface fatigue crack growth within railheads can be deleterious leading to catastrophic failures in rails. This study aims to model the fatigue crack growth originating at the subsurface level within railheads. Towards that end, a finite element modeling approach is utilized wherein complex crack growth is explicitly modeled using a ...
