Abstract To investigate the long-term creep behavior of deep granite in geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste under coupled temperature and stress conditions, a full-time temperature–stress coupled c...

When hair is wet, the cuticles are open, therefore, it is easy to damage the hair through too much use of a regular hair-dryer. In this research, instead of the current type of heat-blow dryer, a new type of hair-dryer w...

The aim of this study is to investigate the wear resistance of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films and wear debris of polyethylene using pin-on-disc testing on two groups of CoCrMo discs with DLC coatings. DLC coatings depos...

As the global and Kenyan media industries rapidly transition to digital-first, multi-platform storytelling, Mass Communication students are increasingly required to possess advanced technical skills. However, a critical ...

Abstract Most ordinary earthquakes follow self-similar scaling, where source duration scales with the cube root of seismic moment. However, some earthquake clusters show non-self-similar scaling, in which source duration...

This study addresses the issue of nanoparticle agglomeration and the resulting inhomogeneous structure and performance degradation in Cu–Al₂O₃ composite coatings prepared by jet electrodeposition. To improve partic...

Surface texturing is helpful in decreasing the friction, decreasing the wear, and increasing the fluid film stiffness. This investigation studies the influence of micro-pit arrangement on the behavior of gas parallel sli...

The martensitic transformation of sputteredNi48.4Ti31.3Hf20.3 (at. %) thin films was investigated. Amorphous samples werecrystallized at 773 K, 873 K, 973 K and 1073 K to establish a correlation betweenmicrostructure and...

Soil acidity is one of the reasons for corrosion of steel piles. The material deterioration of steel pile foundation served in the acidic soil will affect the safety and durability of pile foundation. In order to underst...

The end restraint can be eliminated by lubrication sample cap to some extent in the conventional triaxial tests. A comparison is made between the conventional triaxial tests and the end friction reduced triaxial tests in...

The CU triaxial tests and ring shear tests on interface between steel pipe pile and soil of a kind of intact marine soft clay with medium structure are carried out under influence of shear strain rate, and the variations...

Abstract TiAlSiN is a potential protection coating for die steel to improve the surface hardness, anti-wear performance and suitability. In the present study, TiAlSiN is deposited on H13 die steel by high power impulse m...

Abstract Contour bevel gears have the advantages of high coincidence, low noise and large bearing capacity, which are widely used in automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding and construction machinery. However, when the su...

The actual engineering problems induced by super low-strength soft clay are paid more and more attention with the rapid development of port and ocean engineering. However, the routine geotechnical experimental method can...

To illustrate the variation laws of strength characteristics and micromechanism of rubber-sand mixtures, a series of laboratory tests including direct shear tests, unconfined compressive strength tests and scanning elect...

In the loess regions loess landslide is one of the major geological disasters. Every year it results in a large number of casualties and destructions. It is found that the average shear stress on the sliding surface of t...

This article critically analyses the enforcement framework of the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA), with a focus on its early operational phase. The DMA establishes a new regulatory regime that addresses entrenched platform ...

Abstract As an important green manufacturing process, dry grinding has problems such as high grinding temperature and insufficient cooling capacity. Aiming at the problems of sticking and burns in dry grinding of titaniu...

When the aircraft lands on a runway, the great speed difference between tires and runway causes non-negligible friction and speeds up wheels. The generated heat rapidly raises tire temperature and causes material decompo...

Significant research interest in hybrid nanofluids stems from their extensive applications in areas like industrial cooling and biomedical engineering. The present investigation focuses on a hybrid Casson nanofluid, a no...

Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), as a novel oxidizer characterized by high energy density, low signature, and environmental friendliness, exhibits significant application potential in composite solid propellants. However, its...

This review essay focuses on Francis Fukuyama’s book Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment, which was published in 2018. The text emphasises placing Fukuyama’s new publication in the context...

The revised density method is improved based on analysis of interactions between ground soil, fill and piles in flow sliding. The density of fill outside the center of sliding surface needn’t be revised. The density of...

Closed coil spring is an additional tool in a fixed-orthodontic treatment. NiTi is an orthodontic alloy that has shape memory and elasticity features, while stainless steel has properties of malleability, low friction be...
