Historically, cow dung has been widely used as a biostabilizer in earth building, although the scientific research on this subject is still limited. The available research provides evidence of the positive effects of this bioaddition on earthen blocks and plasters, as it improves their physical and mechanical properties and durability in water cont...

Maraging steels hardened by Cu + NiAl precipitation have recently garnered attention owing to their relatively low cost and exceptionally high strength. However, the high alloy content can cause issues such as solidification cracking, particularly in mass production. In this study, solidification cracking was observed in a Cu + NiAl-hardened maragi...

Table grape viticulture, due to the impact of climate change, will have to face many challenges in the coming decades, including resistance to pathogens and physiological disorders. Our attention was focused on fruit cracking due to its ubiquitous presence in several species. This study explores the effects of three different treatments on the epid...

TC4 ELI alloy is widely used in the marine, medicine, and aviation fields. The failure performance of TC4 ELI alloy is significantly different from that of other metal materials, such as steels. In this paper, a modified Mohr–Coulomb criterion is calibrated based on several kinds of specimens under different stress states and a 3D geometric represe...

Assessment of landslide hazards often depends on the ability to track possible changes in natural slopes. To that end, historical air photos can be useful, particularly when slope stability is compromised by visible cracking. Undocumented landsliding rejuvenates a paleo-landslide on a busy motorway connecting Jerusalem to a small Jewish settlement....

Nickel-rich layered oxides, crucial for high-energy-density Li-ion batteries, face challenges in cycle life due to intricate chemo-mechanical degradation. This study pioneers a comprehensive approach, integrating nano X-ray computed tomography and advanced electrochemical methods, to untangle the interplay of degradation mechanisms in complex compo...

The unique electrical properties of silicon nitride have increased the applications in microelectronics, especially in the manufacture of integrated circuits. Silicon nitride is mainly used as a passivation barrier against water and sodium ion diffusion and as an electrical insulator between polysilicon layers in capacitors. The interface with diff...

This paper addresses the challenge of ice accumulation on aircraft surface wings and focuses on the electrothermal de-icing modeling. Ice buildup on aircraft not only adds weight but also hampers aerodynamic performance, posing a threat to flight safety. Thus, the understanding of ice shedding under the effect of an electrothermal deicer is necessa...

In high-tech areas such as nuclear fusion, aerospace, and high-performance tools, tungsten and its alloys are indispensable due to their high melting point, low thermal expansion, and excellent mechanical properties. The rise of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, particularly Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF), has enabled the precise and rapid...

The alkali–silica reaction (ASR), a major cause of cracks in concrete, is a critical issue in the maintenance of social infrastructure. In this study, a concrete mesoscale model was meticulously developed, and a coupled stress–moisture model was also developed to reproduce ASR degradation. The aim was to investigate the effect of ASR degradation on...
