All-solid-state batteries (ASSB) can potentially achieve high gravimetric and volumetric energy
densities (900 Wh/L) if paired with a lithium metal anode and solid electrolyte. However, …

Modern engineering design often faces severe challenges in accommodating impurities and
imperfections of materials in the presence of considerable thermal expansion and plastic …

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of pine pollen polysaccharides and sulfated
polysaccharides on mice with ulcerative colitis and whether they could protect mice from …

Multilayer coatings are often seen in surface engineering for surface modifications. Optimal
design of the multilayered materials requires the understanding of their mechanical …

The plastic zone developed during elastoplastic contact may be effectively modeled as an
inclusion in an isotropic half space. This paper proposes a simple but efficient computational …

Three-dimensional fretting contacts involving multilayered or functionally graded materials
are commonly seen in mechanical systems. The analyses of surface fatigue and contact …

In current military conflicts and civilian terrorism, blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI)
is the primary cause of neurotrauma. However, the effects and mechanisms of bTBI are …

This paper reports a size-dependent semi-analytical model (SAM) on the frictional
magnetoelectroelastic (MEE) contact of a multiferroic thin film and a rigid insulating sphere subjected …

Stress analysis of an elliptical inhomogeneity in an infinite isotropic elastic plane is a classical
elasticity problem, which is usually solved by means of the complex variable formulation. …

A layer-substrate, or coating-substrate, interface can be mathematically formed by jointing a
homogeneous half-space and a layer of another material or even the same material. The …
