Experimental and numerical studies of S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns by Su, Andi, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, including initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests, was conducted. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were firstly developed and validated against the test results, and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data. …”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Core – shell CuPd@Pd tetrahedra with concave structures and Pd-enriched surface boost formic acid oxidation by Chen, Yifan, Yang, Yifan, Fu, Gengtao, Xu, Lin, Sun, Dongmei, Lee, Jong-Min, Tang, Yawen

“…It is demonstrated that L-proline plays a vital role as a structure-directing agent in tuning the nucleation and growth of concave CuPd@Pd tetrahedra because of the strong coordination abilities of C[double bond, length as m-dash]O, O–H and N–H groups with metal ions. This bimetallic concave structure can endow the nanocrystals with abundant catalytically active sites and fascinating electronic effects, which are suggested to be favorable for electrocatalysis. …”

Strained single-layer C2N membrane for efficient seawater desalination via forward osmosis : a molecular dynamics study. by Liu, Bo, Law, Adrian Wing-Keung, Zhou, Kun

“…The results show that with a biaxial tensile strain larger than 4%, the C2N membrane becomes permeable to the water molecules but completely impermeable to the salt ions. At the strain of 12%, a water flux as high as 14.36 L cm−2 h−1 can be obtained at the moderate temperature of 338 K. …”
