Compressibility behavior of marine clay treated by combination of coal ash and cement by Pakir, F, Ismail, N A, Yunos, N Z M, Jamaludin, N, Talib, M K A, Dan, M F M, Madun, A

“…A lot of engineering problems could arise either during or after the construction phase due to low shear strength and high compressibility of this soil in the form of excessive settlement, slope instability or bearing capacity failure. The real challenge with marine clay is stability and settlement when construction takes place. …”

OAM-based reconfigurable doppler shifts enable PAPR reduction for multi-carrier doppler diversity by Zhao, Yufei, Ge, Yao, Yang, Zhaojie, Ju, Gaohua, Ma, Lu, Lu, Yilong, Guan, Yong Liang

“…In a recent study, we discovered that even when the transceivers are stationary, a specific spatial Doppler shift can be generated by rotating the wavefront structure of the OAM helical beams. Furthermore, arbitrary integer rotational OAM Doppler shifts can be realized flexibly by using the recently popular digital encoding metasurfaces. …”

An artificial neural network model for multi-flexoelectric actuation of plates by Fan, Mu, Yu, Pengcheng, Xiao, Zhongmin

“…Flexoelectric effect can be used to design actuators to control engineering structures including beams, plates, and shells. Multiple flexoelectric actuators method has the advantage of less stress concentration and better control effect, but the mode-dependent optimal actuator locations could influence the flexoelectric actuation effect significantly. …”

Energy gain of wetted-foam implosions with auxiliary heating for inertial fusion studies by Paddock, RW, Li, TS, Kim, E, Lee, JJ, Martin, H, Ruskov, RT, Hughes, S, Rose, SJ, Murphy, CD, Scott, RHH, Bingham, R, Garbett, W, Elisseev, VV, Haines, BM, Zlystra, AB, Campbell, EM, Thomas, CA, Goffrey, T, Arber, TD, Aboushelbaya, R, Von der Leyen, MW, Wang, RHW, James, AA, Ouatu, I, Timmis, R, Howard, S, Atonga, E, Norreys, PA

“…Low convergence ratio implosions (where wetted-foam layers are used to limit capsule convergence, achieving improved robustness to instability growth) and auxiliary heating (where electron beams are used to provide collisionless heating of a hotspot) are two promising techniques that are being explored for inertial fusion energy applications. …”

Automated Engineering Design for Reusable Concrete Building Structures by Wongsittikan, Pitipat

“…The Pixelframe structural system [1] was proposed to facilitate the reusability of concrete components by implementing the existing external post-tensioning system in bridge structures and fiber reinforced system to design building beams and columns. This work presents an automated engineering design workflow for Pixelframe, including a engineering mechanics of the system that conforms to ACI 318- 19 [2] and fib Model Code 2010 [3], half-scale tests to verify the preliminary behavior of the system, and a scalable design algorithm for minimum embodied carbon designs. …”
