Foreign object damage in gas turbines presents serious safety and financial concerns. As the aerospace industry draws closer to implementing ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) in gas turbines, the corresponding behavior in these materials after such events needs to be understood. To address this requirement, several sil…

This paper investigates the macroscopic behaviour of an axially loaded discrete granular system from a stability perspective. The granular system comprises uniform grains that are elastically connected with some bending and shear interactions and confined by some elastic supports. This structural system can then be cl…

Abstract In the present work a parametric investigation on hydrogen evolution by hydrolysis of ball‐milled Al/graphite composite materials with water is reported. The results showed that the addition of NaCl produced some favorable effects on the completeness of the Al hydrolysis reaction with water, particularly at l…

Despite promising advantages, the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for biomedical applications is limited due to their low biocompatibility. This study presents the modification of CNTs by plasma polymerization using two different monomers, pentafluorophenyl methacrylate (PFM) and allylamine (AA). We demonstrated that b…

Considering the difference of energy bands in graphene and silicene, we put forward a new model of the graphene-silicene-graphene (GSG) heterojunction. In the GSG, we study the valley polarization properties in a zigzag nanoribbon in the presence of an external electric field. We find the energy range associated with…

This study examines the interfacial debonding behavior of self-healing fiber-reinforced polymers and the performance of repair of interfacial debonding. Self-healing is accomplished by incorporating a microencapsulated healing agent and a catalyst within a coating layer on the surface of the fiber strand. Single edge-…

We report the influence of photoisomerization on the splay (K11) and bend (K33) elastic constants in a bent-core nematic doped with a small amount of a calamitic photoactive compound. Trans-cis isomerization of the latter compound results in a large decrease (factor of ∼3 for K33) of both the moduli, and K33 becoming…

Many experiments have revealed that the surfaces of graphene and graphene‐like structures can play an active role as a host surface for clusterization of transition metal atoms. Motivated by these observations, we investigate theoretically the adsorption, diffusion and magnetic properties of Pt clusters on three diffe…

Zinc titanate (ZnTiO3) thin films grown by atomic layer deposition with ilmenite structure have recently been identified as an excellent solid lubricant, where low interfacial shear and friction are achieved due to intrafilm shear velocity accommodation in sliding contacts. In this Letter, high resolution transmission…

To enable graphene oxide (GO) flakes for application based on solution processable technology, we show that they can be self-assembled from solution on flexible substrate driven by a Coulomb interaction with the self-assembled monolayer (SAM). Field-effect transistors exhibit a high hole mobility around 14 cm2/V·s aft…

Using La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) and CaRuO3 (CRO) as components, the single-layer films, bilayers, trilayers, and superlattices were fabricated on NdGaO3 (110) substrates. These epitaxial structures show quite different Curie temperature (TC) depending on the LCMO layer thickness (x), especially in the low x region. For…
