To reduce the dead load of concrete structures, this study developed a high performance
lightweight aggregate concrete (HPLAC) by combining the use of ultra high performance …

The incorporation of conventional supplementary cementitious materials (eg fly ash) in
concrete generally induces a longer setting time and inferior early-age strength. This study …

Progress toward developing metal implants as permanent hard‐tissue substitutes requires
both osteointegration to achieve load‐bearing support, and energy‐dissipation to prevent …

The residual-stress induced failure of Ti-6Al-4V/Si 3 N 4 joints brazed with two different Si 3
N 4 ceramics possessing different intrinsic properties was elucidated through experimental …

The method to measure hardness and elastic modulus of small volumes of material by
instrumented indentation was developed in the early works of Oliver and Pharr (1992, 2004) …

Using recycling iron ore tailings (IOTs) from industrial solid waste as concrete aggregates
agrees with the sustainable development of the construction industry and carbon neutrality …

Enhancing and manipulating the mechanical properties of graphene oxide (GO)-based
structures are challenging because the GO assembly is easily delaminated. We develop …

This paper presents the current research trends in indentation techniques, especially on the
micro-and nanoscales, and the application of such techniques for the mechanical …

The extractives in wood have been proved to have some effect on the permeability and
adhesive quality of the waterborne coating. Due to the hydrophobic property of extractives …

The determination of a suitable correction for tip blunting is crucial in order to obtain useful
mechanical properties from nanoindentation experiments. While typically the required area …
