Article Abstract

Steel structures are widely used in large-span bridges, offshore platforms, mining equipment and other large-scale buildings. The damage of steel structures will cause significant safety risks in a project. Therefore, it is of great significance to identify and study damage to steel structures. In this study, the propagation of Lamb waves in a steel plate with double cracks is simulated. Using finite element analysis and experimental study, damage identification and damage imaging of double crack damage to a steel plate are performed, and the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Considering the reflection and transmission of Lamb waves at the welding seam, the location and imaging of crack damage in a welded steel plate are also studied. The imaging results obtained from simulation and experiment show high level in accuracy. By comparing the amplitude of the signal in the propagation process, it is concluded that the transmission energy at the weld seam decreases.

In fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) processes, vanadium is a primary harmful feedstock contaminant that deactivates catalysts by forming vanadate species which corrode the zeolite framework and damage catalyst structure. Introducing vanadium capture agents is an effective way to enhance the catalytic performance, but the mechanism of the interaction has not yet been fully understood. This study demonstrates that lanthanum-based additives significantly improve vanadium resistance in FCC catalysts.

Many soft, tough materials have emerged in recent years, paving the way for advances in wearable electronics, soft robotics, and flexible displays. However, understanding the interfacial fracture behavior of these materials remains a significant challenge, owing to the difficulty of quantifying the respective contributions from viscoelasticity and damage to energy dissipation ahead of cracks. This work aims to address this challenge by labeling a series of polymer networks with fluorogenic mechanophores, subjecting them to T-peel tests at various rates and temperatures, and quantifying their force-induced damage using a confocal microscope.

The most significant challenge facing magnesium alloy stents is their ability to withstand complex deformation during their application. To gain a deeper understanding of the impact of stent deformation on the protective capabilities of the coating, this paper presents an amplified stent deformation model. The models were coated with either a low elongation material-Poly(D, L-lactide) (PDLLA) or a high elongation material-Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), followed by the application of a rapamycin-loaded PLGA as drug-eluting layer.

The maintenance of metro tunnel support structures is crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of urban rail transit. Under complex stress conditions (including tension, compression, shear, torsion), metro tunnel linings are susceptible to various forms of damage, such as cracking, spalling, segment misalignment, and water leakage. These issues pose substantial challenges to tunnel safety and service life.

To investigate the failure behavior and cracking mechanisms in surrounding rock, a true triaxial experimental system and digital imaging were employed to perform compression tests on sandstone specimens containing preexisting flaws. Experimental results revealed the propagation characteristics of microfractures under stress concentration conditions and their correlation with failure patterns. Furthermore, a fracture propagation model was implemented to evaluate the susceptibility of surrounding rock to failure.
