Fatigue in multilayered steels by Kumar, Punit, Msolli, Sabeur, Jhon, Mark H., Ramamurty, Upadrasta

“…While the quasistatic tensile stress-strain responses of both the sheets are nearly-identical, fatigue strength of sheets with austenitic outer layers is substantially higher than those with martensitic layers, due mainly to the nature of residual stress distribution in the two sheets. …”

Nanostructuring confinement for controllable interfacial charge transfer by Qiao, Wei, Tao, Hua Bing, Liu, Bin, Chen, Jiazang

“…Unfortunately, this critical issue has hardly been consciously considered. Here, ultrathin dopant-free tunneling interlayers coated on the surface of graphene and sandwiched between the carbon sheets and the semiconductor nanostructures are adopted as a model system to demonstrate energy saving for the interfacial charge transfer. …”

Brownian dynamics simulation of soft matter with hydrodynamics: methods for constrained systems and shear processing of 2D materials by Funkenbusch, William Tian

“…We use the conformational and rotational properties of the sheet simulations to explain this behavior, demonstrating a new explanation for the non-monotonic rheological properties of 2D materials which does not involve sheet-sheet interactions (which are rare in dilute suspensions) or thermal energy (which is often small in sheet systems). …”

Developement of electrical equivalent circuit for super capacitor by Muhammad Bukhari Amiruddin.

“…However, in recent years, the future of Super Capacitor to replace our present energy storage elements such as batteries and conventional capacitors had been promising. As of present, there are many different types of electrical models, and most of them are derived from the observed charging and discharging behavior, without considering the actual underlying physical and chemical processes during the charging and discharging. …”

Evaluating geospatial accuracy for equity analyses: a case study of the U.S. National Bridge Inventory by Gandy, CA, Kang, X, Ritsch, N, Armanios, DE

“…Phase 3 assesses the feasibility of enhancing location granularity through a hand-checked case study. We find that for coarser geospatial levels (state and county), equity-based analyses may be possible, but for more granular geospatial levels (place and census tract), which is where equity-based analyses are often conducted, the data may need greater buffering and hand checks to ensure accuracy. …”

Predicting bank failures : a comparison of the Cox proportional hazards model and time-varying covariates model. by Cheng, Philip Yim Kwong.

“…As a contribution to bank regulation by improving the accuracy of predicting failed banks, I first illustrate the use of martingale and other residuals as diagnostic checks for Cox’s proportional hazards model. Second, I discuss and substantiate the claim that a time-varying covariates model is superior to the Cox model as a bank failure model.…”
