Abstract In this paper, starting with an introductory review of the applications of liquid crystals and polymer-dispersed liquid crystal systems in (bio)sensors and microfluidics, the possibilities of visualizing self-organization products of liquid crystalline media or fie [...] 1204 5504 |
Low-Velocity Impact Resistance of Glass Laminate Aluminium Reinforced Epoxy (GLARE) CompositeAbstract This study intends to determine the behavior of glass laminate aluminum-reinforced epoxy (GLARE) and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites under a low-velocity impact test. Experimental tests and numerical simulations are considered for this investigation. All samples are made by the hand [...] 739 5874 |
3D Printing of MXenes-Based Electrodes for Energy Storage ApplicationsAbstract Energy storage devices (ESD) including batteries, and supercapacitors are becoming progressively imperative in the transition to a renewable energy future, as they enable the integration of intermittent renewable sources into the grid and provide backup power during outages. There are already review [...] 1016 7680 |
Experimental and Analytical Studies of an Ultra-high Performance Concrete Beam Using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer BarsAbstract Infrastructure degradation attributable to concrete deterioration and corrosion of reinforcing steel has been a long-standing challenge to the owners and engineers. This problem becomes more evident when concrete structures are subject to aggressively corrosive environments. The use of advanced mate [...] 640 5134 |

Abbas S. Milani
Abstract This study evaluates the influence of different loading angles and the area of loading on the ensuing stress distribution and the physical response of a natural central incisor tooth, using a 3D finite element analysis. The CAD model of the incisor tooth assembly (including enamel, denti [...] 380 4604 |
Evaluating the Performance of Hollow Core Slabs (HCS)-Concrete and Simplifying Their ImplementationAbstract The largest proportion of the material used in multistory buildings, and thus its carbon impact, is attributed to their slabs being the main contributor of weight. Because of their high strength and concrete self-weight reduction, composite beams with hollow-core slabs were created for t [...] 1086 8268 |
Effect of Heat Treatment on Sliding Wear Resistance of Hybrid Aluminum Matrix CompositeAbstract Composite materials with aluminum as matrix material have a wider amplitude of large-scale applications in engineering. Some salient features of aluminum matrix composites are, low density, low thermal coefficient of performance and low weight and high strength. Among the various series of aluminum [...] 581 4949 |
7Li Diffusion in Thin Disks of Single-Crystal Garnet LLZO-Ta Studied by PFG-NMR SpectroscopyAbstract Pulsed field-gradient (PFG) NMR spectroscopy was applied to thin disk samples (0.5, 1 and 2 mm thick, 4 mm diameter) of LLZO-Ta (Li6La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12) single crystal. We have measured th [...] 918 5996 |
