Analysis and design recommendations for structures strengthened by prestressed bonded Fe-SMA by Li, Lingzhen, Wang, Sizhe, Chatzi, Eleni, Motavalli, Masoud, Ghafoori, Elyas

“…In this study, a symmetric strengthening model and an asymmetric strengthening model are developed to analyze the prestress level in steel and glass beams and plates strengthened by bonded Fe-SMA strips. The asymmetric strengthening model is then modified to analyze reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened by embedded Fe-SMA rebars. …”

Layered construction of integrated sulfur-bridged CoNi-S/rGO architecture for enhanced electrochemical energy storage by Aboelazm, Eslam Atef Abdelaziz, Khe, Chengseong, Grätz, Sven, Chong, Kwok Feng, Mohamed Shuaib, Mohamed Saheed, Hegazy, Mohamed Barakat Zakaria

“…Remarkable results were realised by forming a layered structure of CoNi-S/rGO in which rGO sheets wrap CoNi-S flakes. Interestingly, the CoNi-S/rGO composite exhibited a specific capacitance of 3308F g−1 (1654C g−1) at 1 A g−1, outperforming the performance of a single CoNi-S component, which recorded 2155F g−1 (1077.5C g−1) at identical conditions. …”

Free fermion six vertex model: symmetric functions and random domino tilings by Aggarwal, Amol, Borodin, Alexei, Petrov, Leonid, Wheeler, Michael

“…We also interpret our determinantal processes as random domino tilings of a half-strip with inhomogeneous domino weights. In the bulk, we show that the lattice asymptotic behavior of such domino tilings is described by a new determinantal point process on $${\mathbb {Z}}^{2}$$ Z 2 , which can be viewed as an doubly-inhomogeneous generalization of the extended discrete sine process.…”
