An experimental investigation was carried out to examine the physical, mechanical and durability characteristics of Polypropylene (PP) fibers foamed concrete (FC) that contains waste marble powder (WMP) as a substitute for conventional cement. Seven different FC mixtures were made utilizing WMD as a cement substitution at the rates of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30%. Fresh properties of mixtures were investigated by performing slump and fresh density tests. Several tests that evaluated the mechanical strengths were conducted at 7 and 28 days. Moreover, the durability of FC specimens at high temperatures was also examined. Results indicate that by including WMD into FC mixtures, the desired physical, mechanical, and durability characteristics could be obtained. The highest compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strength were 27.4, 2.34, and 4.2 MPa, respectively, with significant improvements of 39.01, 14.7, and 25% at 28 days. Furthermore, all FC specimens containing WMD showed satisfactory performance at temperatures of 300 ᵒ C and 600 ᵒ C.","PeriodicalId":36059,"journal":{"name":"Engineered Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90329999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This transition occurs at temperatures of >100 and >400 K for Pyr-I and -II ⟨𝑐 + 𝑎⟩ edge dislocations, respectively, in the absence of shear deformation along the slip direction, except under large non-glide stresses. The critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of the slip plane where Pyr-I ⟨𝑐 + 𝑎⟩ edge dislocations glide at 10 K increases with increasing compressive or tensile strains normal to the slip plane and exhibits a minimum value of ~486 MPa. Similarly, the CRSS for Pyr-II ⟨𝑐 + 𝑎⟩ edge dislocations decreases with increasing compressive strains normal to the slip plane and exhibits a maximum value of ~149 MPa at 10 K. Our findings provide insights into the design of ductile Mg alloys.","PeriodicalId":36059,"journal":{"name":"Engineered Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89080493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though discovered a century back, they are an active area of physics and material science research. Novel properties and potential fields of applications materialize constantly. Even the alloy system is extensively investigated owing to its shape memory behavior and prospective relevance in the development of actuator devices, where strains are controlled by applying an external magnetic field. Heusler alloys are currently the material of interest due to their properties leading to their use as shape memory alloys and topological insulators. Hence, predicting and determining their composition and structure is imperative before synthesis. Utilizing the conventional method in determining the possible changes in the properties and the structure of the proposed compositions is tedious and time-consuming. In the current consumerism-driven environment, we require a faster method to predict the structure of the proposed alloy or compound or other parameters for the desired application. Once the prediction is made, it must be tested experimentally by synthesizing the material and characterizing its behavior. This analysis is focusing on network analysis with a supervised machine learning approach to study the properties of Heusler alloys with their application as shape memory alloys.","PeriodicalId":36059,"journal":{"name":"Engineered Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72619722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to their distinct wing morphology, owls are noted for their quiet flying, which is astonishingly low-noise both when gliding and flapping. The low-noise operation of airfoil is inspired by these remarkable characteristics of owl flight. Research conducted in the past suggests that an airfoil that has an extensive sinusoidal profile can only reduce noise to a certain extent. As a coupling element, an owl-wing-inspired ridge is added to the trailing edge of airfoils with serrations in this work. This proposed method of noise reduction using trailing edge serrations showed the efficacy of a bionic-inspired airfoil with the existing approaches. A numerical study was performed using computational tools and has shown that the proposed bionic-inspired structure could reduce noise more effectively. The results show that wide wavelengths have less low-frequency tonal noise but more at high frequencies. This paper concludes that owl-inspired trailing edge serrations may be an effective aero-acoustic control device for wind turbines, aircraft, drones, and other fluid machines.","PeriodicalId":36059,"journal":{"name":"Engineered Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73613451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many scientists have attempted to establish and implement artificial intelligence (AI) models for estimating strip footings’ bearing capacity. In this study, four data-driven models, namely, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), random forest (RF), deep neural network (DNN), and long short-term memory (LSTM), are developed and compared to calculate the strip footing's bearing capacity. The strip footing's bearing capacity is obtained numerically by performing a lower bound (LB) and upper bound (UB) finite element limit analysis (FELA) for the purpose of training machine learning models. A total of 5120 FELA solutions with six dimensionless input parameters, namely, the geological strength index ( GSI ), the yield parameter ( m i ), the dimensionless strength ( 𝛾 B/ 𝜎 ci ) , inclination angle ( 𝛽 ), the dimensionless eccentricity ( e/B ), and the adhesion factor ( a ), and one output parameter, the bearing capacity factor ( P/ 𝜎 ci B ), were utilized in the analysis. The results show that the efficiency of all the proposed models is sufficient for bearing capacity factor determination, with coefficient of determination ( R 2 ) values ranging from 0.87 to 0.997 in the training phase and 0.975 to 0.999 in the testing phase. The proposed XGBoost model outperforms other models, such as RF, DNN, and LSTM, and can be used accurately for estimating a strip footing's bearing capacity on rock mass subjected to incline and eccentric loading loads.","PeriodicalId":36059,"journal":{"name":"Engineered Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87232191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
