Variable Stiffness Flexure Structures Enabled by Phase‐Change Gallium and Adhesive Interfacial Locking for Soft Robotic Applications

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A flexure‐based variable stiffness structure is developed by integrating phase‐change modulation and adhesive interfacial locking of gallium. The design enables a wide stiffness variability, transitioning from soft, flexible behavior to rigid, load‐supporting performance.

Assessment on the Soil Retention Service of Water Erosion in the Nile River Basin Considering Vegetation Factor Variance from 1982 to 2013

, 2020
Water erosion has negative effects on agricultural productivity in Africa. The cover management factor (C factor) related to vegetation is the most influential parameter in the estimation of water erosion and reflects key interrelated cover and ...

Thermodynamic Pathways of Nonequilibrium Solidification in Wire‐Arc Additive Manufacturing Fe‐Based Multicomponent Alloy Structures

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Geometry‐driven thermal behavior in wire‐arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) influences microstructural evolution during nonequilibrium solidification of a chemically complex Fe–Cr–Nb–W–Mo–C nanocomposite system. By comparing different deposits configurations, distinct entropy–cooling rate correlations, segregation, and carbide evolution are revealed ...

Vectorized dataset of silted land formed by check dams on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Scientific Data
Check dams on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) have captured billions of tons of eroded sediment, substantially reducing sediment load in the Yellow River. However, uncertainties persist regarding the precise sediment capture and the role of these dams in

Substantial role of check dams in sediment trapping and carbon sequestration on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Check dams on the Chinese Loess Plateau are estimated to trap and bury approximately 10.2 ± 0.6 Pg of eroded sediment and 21.6 ± 9.9 Tg of organic carbon over the past 50 years, according to large-scale field surveys and remote sensing.

Effects of Biocrusts on Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Slope Flow in Hilly Regions of Loess Plateau

Shuitu baochi tongbao, 2022
[Objective] The effects of biological soil crusts (biocrusts) on the hydrodynamic characteristics of slope flow were investigated in order to provide theoretical guidance for the study of biocrusts anti-erosive mechanism in hilly regions of the Loess ...

High‐Temperature Nanoindentation of Metals: Assessing Thermal Drift, Frame Compliance, and Chemical Composition Effects on the Reported Mechanical Properties

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Do not let thermal drift and instrument artifacts deceive high‐temperature nanoindentation results. We compare classical Oliver–Pharr and automatic image recognition analyses across steels and a Ni alloy to quantify these effects. Accounting for artifacts reveals systematic softening with temperature, while Cr and Ni additions boost resistance ...

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.
