In this study, using a combination of several experimental and computational methods, an attempt to improve the understanding some important phenomena accompanying process explosive welding is made. The high-speed shooting was used observe formation re-entrant jet. Various methods materials characterization were estimate morphology interface, distribution liquid phase analyze evolution structure in high-velocity oblique collision. Simulating collision smoothed particles hydrodynamics (SPH)...
The mechanical response of additively manufactured sheet-based stochastic cellular materials under impact loading was investigated in this work. Samples with four different relative densities (13%, 16%, 19%, and 21%) were fabricated out 316 L stainless steel using the powder bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing (AM) technique. samples then tested quasi-static dynamic (impact) compressive conditions to evaluate their behavior. All analyzed showed a similar progressive plateau stress...
The catalytic activity of Group VIII transition metals except Os for methanesteam reaction under atmospheric pressure at 350∼600°C was investigated. following sequence obtained: Ru∼Rh>Ni>Ir>Pd∼Pt>>Co∼Fe.Ru and Rh were found to possess high stable over a wide range steam/methane ratio. rate on Rh-silica catalyst be the zeroth 0.5th order with respect methane steam, respectively.
Closed-cell aluminium foams were fabricated and characterised at different strain rates. Quasi-static high rate experimental compression testing was performed using a universal servo-hydraulic machine powder gun. The results show large influence of hardening on mechanical properties, which contributes to significant quasi-linear enhancement energy absorption capabilities further used for the determination critical deformation velocities validation proposed computational model. A simple model...
Four different geometries of uniform triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) cellular structures (Diamond, Gyroid, IWP, and Primitive) a hybrid Gyroid–Diamond TPMS structure were fabricated experimentally tested under compressive strain rates ranging from quasi-static (at 0.005 s−1) to very high 11,000 s−1). Three testing apparatuses used: universal servo-hydraulic machine, direct impact Hopkinson bar (DIHB), powder gun. Limited rate hardening was observed at quasi-static, low-...
In this study, the crushing behavior of auxetic structures built from inverted tetrapods with linearly graded porosity under impact is analyzed both experimentally and computationally.

A detailed geometrical analysis based on micro computed tomography (microCT) scans performed to determine variation strut thickness other fabrication imperfections. subjected high strain rate compression loading in two...
Silicon vacancy (SiV) color centers in diamond have attracted widespread attention owing to their stable photoluminescence (PL) with a sharp emission band the near-infrared region (ZPL 738 nm). Especially, SiV center containing single-digit nanometer-sized nanodiamonds (single-digit SiV-NDs) are desirable for various applications such as bioimaging and biosensing because of extremely small size, comparable many biomaterials. Therefore, several attempts been made fabricate SiV-NDs. However,...
In this study, the optimal parameters for weldability window of pure titanium and a new duplex stainless steel (TP 270C/SUS 821L1) were explored, particularly lower left limits. A series experiments conducted, details physical quantities during welding, such as jet, pressure, melting, obtained via smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The simulation results demonstrated how these changed with welding near limit was determined according to experimental results, while findings. Via...
