Article Abstract
Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are widely used in engineering practice as both load-bearing and energy-dissipating components. However, the application of traditional BRBs is often limited by their self-weight, particularly in long-span structures. To address this limitation, this study proposes a novel BRB configuration that combines a redesigned structural form with lightweight aluminum alloy material. A nonlinear finite element model of the proposed aluminum alloy BRB was developed following validation against similar experimental results and modeling approaches. The effects of the shape and amplitude of the first two initial geometric imperfections of the inner core, as well as the clearance between the inner core and the restraining members, on the energy dissipation capacity and stress distribution were systematically analyzed. Finally, based on the numerical results, a recommended range for the restraining length ratio under various clearance conditions is proposed to guide design optimization.

This study explores the grain refinement mechanisms of primary α-Al during solidification of Al-13 wt% Cu alloy modified by FeCoCrNiAl high-entropy alloy (HEA) particles via ultrasonic treatment. In situ X-ray radiography combined with machine learning-based computer vision techniques was employed to systematically analyze the nucleation and growth behaviors of α-Al grains. Results indicate a significant grain refinement effect associated with increased HEA particle content and higher cooling rates.

Accurate stress evaluation of structural components during manufacturing and operation is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of advanced equipment in aerospace, defense, and other high-performance fields. However, existing electromagnetic ultrasonic stress detection methods are often limited by low signal amplitude and limited adaptability to complex environments, hindering their practical deployment for in situ testing. This study proposes a novel surface wave transducer structure for stress detection based on acoustoelastic theory combined with electromagnetic ultrasonic technology.

The formation of metal-polymer composites by 3D printing PLA and PETG onto EN AW-5182 H111 aluminum substrates without the use of adhesives was investigated. Four surface treatments were evaluated on the metal substrate (fine sanding, coarse sanding, abrasive blasting, and acid etching), over which a polymer primer-prepared from PLA and PETG solutions-was applied. Subsequently, test specimens were fabricated using the same polymer through material extrusion (MEX) with filaments.

In this study, under varying PDSP (plunging depths of stirring pin) and process parameters, refill friction stir spot welding tests were performed on 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, relying on a stirring tool with a 12 mm sleeve diameter and an 8 mm stirring pin diameter. The results manifested the internal defects in the weld zone when PDSP was 0, notwithstanding the alterations in process parameters. However, these flaws disappeared when PDSP was 0.
