Punching shear strength analysis of corroded reinforcement concrete slab by Fu, Yibin

“…Further, reinforcement cross section is progressively lost to corrosion, causing a decreasing in members flexural strength, decreasing in yield strength of reinforcement bars and reduction in ultimate elongation rate. Furthermore, the bond between reinforcement and surrounding concrete weakens, which critically affects bonding strength, thus the load transfer mechanism will be affected. …”

Smart material based on magnetorheological elastomer and its 3D printing by Bastola, Anil K.

“…Three different types of MR cores, namely, low viscosity fluid MR core, high viscosity fluid MR core, and solid MR core were considered. On the other hand, in a 3D printing method, extrusion-based multi-material printing was implemented, where MR fluid filaments were printed within an elastomer matrix in the layer-by-layer fashion. …”

Soft-finite-element-method-driven multiphysics airfoil optimization by Nguyen, VD, Naharro, P-S, Peña, J-M, Jerusalem, A

“…This framework simultaneously leverages exploration and exploitation without the need to know a priori which strategy is best fitted to the problem at hand. In this work, we first improve SoftFEM by replacing the original differential evolution by the so-called success-history-based adaptive differential evolution. …”

New multi-target based therapeutics against an opportunistic superbug by Premkumar, Jayaraman.

“…Hence, there is a dearth of treatment options for community-acquired and nosocomial Pseudomonas infections due to several rapidly emerging multidrug-resistant phenotypes along with the complexity of rising resistance rates. Taken together, it is imperative to discover more potent drugs and novel therapeutic strategies to combat the infections caused by this superbug. …”
