There are abundant electrochemical-mechanical coupled behaviors in lithium-ion battery
(LIB) cells on the mesoscale or macroscale level, such as electrode delamination, pore …

Prior to any practical application, brittle material components may need to be machined to a
high degree of precision in order to avoid functional breakdown as well as to maintain …

Abstract Ultra-High-Strength Engineered Cementitious Composites (UHS-ECC)
incorporating artificial geopolymer aggregates (GPA) were developed and over-saturated …

Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Twelve different equiatomic five-metal carbides of group IVB, VB, and VIB refractory
transition metals are synthesized via high-energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering …

Solids in nature can be generally classified into crystalline and non-crystalline states,,,,,–,
depending on whether long-range lattice periodicity is present in the material. The …

Debonding at the core–skin interphase region is one of the primary failure modes in core
sandwich composites under shear loads. As a result, the ability to characterize the …

Both structure relaxation and oxidation of surface layer induced by thermal treatment or
friction heat play significant roles in reducing wear of metallic glasses (MGs). To distinguish …

Aging is associated with increased cellular senescence, which is hypothesized to drive the
eventual development of multiple comorbidities. Here we investigate a role for senescent …

Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH), as the main component of cementitious materials, is
susceptible to carbonation presenting a potential to capture CO 2. Although some …
