Sediment Load under Waves and Currents
A technique is proposed for calculating sediment load, the mass concentration of sediment in motion, under combinations of waves and currents. The technique is based on the unidirectional flow method of Ackers and White, Ref. 1. The calibration of the technique against measurements of sediment load under waves has only just begun.

Karl Popper and the Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlement
Representation of the beginning of loss of ductility rather than embrittlement. Small concentrations of hydrogen in a diffusible form within iron are well‐established to harm the mechanical integrity of steels. There are theories that attempt to explain the pernicious role of hydrogen.

Influence of local scour on the dynamic responses of OWTs under wind-wave loads
Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) often operate in complex marine environments, where they are not only subjected to wind and wave loads, but also adversely affected by scour.

Experimental validation of parked loads for a floating vertical axis wind turbine: wind–wave basin tests [PDF]
Parked loads are a major design load case for vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) because of persistent high loads on the rotor when in standstill conditions.

Microstructure Evolution of a VMnFeCoNi High‐Entropy Alloy After Synthesis, Swaging, and Annealing
The synthesis and processing (rotary swaging and annealing) of the novel VMnFeCoNi alloy is investigated, alongside the estimation of the grain size effect on hardness. Analysis of a wide grain size range of recrystallized microstructures (12–210 µm) reveals a low annealing twin density.

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

Advances in the study of internal solitary waves and their interaction with marine structures
Internal solitary waves (ISWs) are a common nonlinear, large-amplitude fluctuation phenomenon which is widely present in densely stratified oceans and can induce the shear state of the seawater flow above and below the wave surface during the propagation
