Experimental and numerical investigation on precast CECFST column-to-column connections subjected to axial and eccentric compression by Zhu, Gaoming, Tan, Kang Hai

“…This form of structural members has been increasingly used as columns in high-rise buildings and as piers in long-span bridges. Recently, to promote the application of CECFST columns in countries short of labour, e.g., Singapore, North America and Europe, an advanced precast CECFST column-to-column connection with rapid construction and excellent tensile performance was developed by the authors. …”

Effect of heat treatment on microstructures and mechanical properties of Inconel 718 additively manufactured using gradient laser power by Xu, Luming, Chai, Ze, Peng, Bo, Zhou, Wei, Chen, Xiaoqi

“…The as-deposited GLP samples with fine discrete Laves phases and a low SR can achieve a relatively uniform element distribution and γ′′ and γ′ phase precipitation after standard solution treatment plus aging (STA), while CLP samples with coarse long-chain Laves phases and high SR require a high-temperature homogenization plus STA (HSTA) heat treatment to achieve the uniform element distribution. …”

Solvothermal synthesis of PtNi nanoparticle thin film cathode with superior thermal stability for low temperature solid oxide fuel cells by Shin, Jiyoon, Kamlungsua, Kittiwat, Li, Hao-Yang, Su, Pei-Chen

“…Metal-based porous electrodes are common choices for thin film LT-SOFCs, but pure metals with high density nanoscale porosities are vulnerable to thermal agglomeration, which imposes challenges to maintaining high performance with long-term stability. Typical Pt-based thin film cathodes are previously reported to sustain a record high 600 ºC of thermal annealing with acceptable morphological stability, but the temperature is still too low for practical LT-SOFC application. …”

Local vs. cooperative: unraveling glass transition mechanisms with SEER by Ciamarra, Massimo Pica, Ji, Wencheng, Wyart, Matthieu

“…Which phenomenon slows down the dynamics in supercooled liquids and turns them into glasses is a long-standing question of condensed matter. Most popular theories posit that as the temperature decreases, many events must occur in a coordinated fashion on a growing length scale for relaxation to occur. …”

Site leaching model and climate change impacts of an expanding coastal dumpsite by Wang, Yijie

“…This is due to the small variation on cumulative rainfall and the small change in sea level rise during a long period of time. The combined effect of temperature and precipitation is projected to lead to the cumulative release of Cu to rise by up to 23% under extreme conditions compared to the baseline scenario. …”
