Article Abstract
We report on laser shock peening (LSP) of tungsten, a material used as a divertor in Tokamak machine for magnetic confinement fusion reactions such as the ITER facility (France) and JET facility (UK). Peak compressive stresses of -370 MPa and depths of up to 1.75 mm were recorded when 0.25 cm area of tungsten (99.95% pure) was irradiated by a 1030 nm Yb:YAG laser operating at 10 J, 10 ns. Furthermore, we demonstrate enhancement of compressive stresses in one direction, by application of circular polarised light in hard material like tungsten. However, no enhancement of compressive stresses with circular polarisation was observed in soft material like aluminium.

To reveal the microscopic damage evolution law of rocks under the effect of unloading disturbances with different amplitudes, electron microscope scanning, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and triaxial compression tests were carried out. The evolution patterns of surface and internal pore types and mechanical properties of rock specimens after unloading perturbation were analyzed. In this paper, a classification of the ratio of dmax/dmin (dmax and dmin refer to the maximum and minimum pore size of each pore, respectively) is proposed to examine the pore and crack evolution extension development on the surface of the specimen.

To investigate the axial compressive behavior of CFRP-PVC square tube-embedded aluminum concrete columns, five specimens and one control specimen without I-shaped aluminum were tested under uniaxial compression, with the number of CFRP layers and spacing as variable parameters. The failure modes, load-displacement responses, and mechanical properties such as peak load, ductility, stiffness, and energy dissipation were systematically analyzed. Results showed that the incorporation of I-shaped aluminum improved the peak load and ductility by an average of 48.

Stress engineering is an effective way to tune the performance of semiconductors, which has been verified in the work of inorganic and organic single-crystal semiconductors. However, due to the limitations of the vapor-phase growth preparation conditions, the deposited polycrystalline organic semiconductors are more susceptible to residual stress. Therefore, it is of great research significance to develop a low-cost stress engineering applicable to vapor-deposited semiconductors.

Objective: Due to its inherent high instability, the selection of fixation strategies for unilateral Denis type II sacral fractures remains a controversial challenge in the field of traumatic orthopedics. This study focuses on unilateral Denis type II sacral fractures. By applying three different fixation methods, it aims to explore their biomechanical properties and provide a theoretical basis for optimizing clinical fixation protocols.

The stress distribution in Li metal strongly affects the interfacial Li-ion diffusion, thereby influencing the morphology of plated Li and the performance of the battery. Here, we report a mechano-electrochemical coupling strategy that utilizes an arched structured carbon aerogel to achieve stable Li-plating/stripping electrochemistry. The arch-structured carbon aerogel can actively regulate stress distributions in response to the compressive stresses induced by Li deposition, generating the transition of stress from compressive on the convex surface to tensile on the concave surface, which can effectively promote the Li-migration kinetics and thus suppress the non-uniform deposition of Li.
