Prediction models based on AI were built using experimental datasets with multi-expression programming (MEP) and gene expression programming (GEP) to forecast the percentage decrease in compressive strength (CS) after acid exposure. Furthermore, SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis was used to examine the significance of prospective constituents. The results of the experiments substantiated these models. High coefficient of determination (<jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sup>2</jats:sup>) values (MEP: 0.950 and GEP: 0.913) indicated statistical significance, meaning that test results and anticipated outcomes were consistent with each other and with the MEP and GEP models, respectively.

Therefore, to meet the engineering quality requirements of various concrete structures, the research direction of engineering materials has shifted towards developing new concrete with high strength, high ductility, high toughness, and other multifunctional properties. Mixing two or more types of fibers with conductive properties with the cement matrix material allows various fibers to leverage their strengths and weaknesses, thereby utilizing their respective characteristics. This results in the formation of a complex-phase conductive fiber cementitious material (CFCM), which enhances the safety, durability, and toughness of the structure. It enables the engineering structure to exhibit intelligence and resourcefulness, thereby improving its service life and reducing the full life cycle cost of the cementitious material structure. Additionally, this approach relatively eases the demand for concrete materials and reduces material consumption. This method represents one of the research directions for new concrete. Complex-phase CFCMs are essentially smart materials capable of sensing not only compressive or tensile stresses but also temperature. The emergence of CFCM represents a significant step forward in enhancing the mechanics, functionality, and sustainability of modern infrastructure. In this experiment, an orthogonal test involving 16 working conditions with three factors and four levels was designed, with steel fiber (SF) type, SF content, and carbon fiber (CF) content as the factors. The study focused on the physical and mechanical properties of composite conductive fiber cement-based materials containing both SF and CF. Performance indicators such as flexural strength, volume resistivity, and energized temperature rise of the composite conductive fiber cement-based materials were tested. The analysis of orthogonal tests produced the following results regarding the degree of influence of each factor on the mechanical and physical properties: the order of influence on flexural strength was SF doping > SF type > CF doping. Further analysis revealed that the best combination was <jats:italic>A</jats:italic>4<jats:italic>B</jats:italic>4<jats:italic>C</jats:italic>4. The relationship between the effect of each factor on resistivity is as follows: carbon fiber doping > SF doping > SF type.

At the same time, technological progress is changing the way ageing individuals are cared for and medically treated. Several smart wearables and garments have recently been developed for this purpose. Based on previous research, we see a research gap in the use of smart clothing in the care and support of elderly people, especially with regard to concrete application potentials and example products. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of the latest studies and developments in smart clothing with a focus on usability and acceptance for an elderly individuals. A systematic literature search was performed in five databases using a predefined set of keyword. A total of 169 articles published between 1/2000 and 2/2023 were identified and assessed. The literature search followed a previously prepared research protocol according to the criteria of a systematic literature search. The research field of smart clothing is expanding with smart shirts being a major focus; however other products are also being investigated, each with specific capabilities. In particular, vital parameters are constantly optimized; representative products are described and assessed according to their potential applicability to elderly people. The future applications of smart clothing in health care are promising. Many studies on basic applications of smart textiles have been done, and some studies have already involved older people. Furthermore, newly developed suggestions for possible categorizations of smart wearables as well as smart clothing as a subtype are presented based on the researched literature. We found an overall positive impression of the development and application of smart clothing, especially in geriatric settings. However, aspects such as data collection, skin compatibility, wearing comfort, and integration of geriatric factors into known acceptance models need further investigation. Over the last two decades, there have been many developments in the field of smart clothing. For the care and support of elderly people, smart clothing is an important development with great potential.

This summary highlights FSW’s key aspects for dissimilar Al–Mg alloys and its aerospace relevance. These alloys are widely used in aerospace due to their beneficial properties, but fusion welding faces issues like brittle intermetallic compounds (IMC) and decreased mechanical properties. FSW addresses these challenges by using a rotating tool to generate frictional heat, plasticizing the material for solid-state joining without melting. This reduces IMC formation, enhancing joint strength and mechanical properties. Critical parameters like rotational speed, traverse speed, tool design, and process variables are emphasized for optimal FSW of dissimilar Al–Mg alloys. Joining these alloys is crucial in aerospace for applications such as aircraft structures, engine components, and fuel tanks. FSW offers advantages like weight reduction, improved fuel efficiency, and structural integrity enhancement. It allows welding dissimilar Al–Mg alloys with varying compositions for tailored material combinations meeting specific needs. In conclusion, FSW of dissimilar aluminum alloys is promising for aerospace, creating defect-free joints with improved mechanical properties. However, further research is needed to optimize parameters, explore tool designs, and validate long-term performance in aerospace environments.","PeriodicalId":54484,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Advanced Materials Science","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141584934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the effects of initial damage from preloading and subzero-temperature freezing–thawing on microscopic and macroscopic mechanical properties of sandstone were studied based on the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique. The results show that the P-wave velocity of the sample decreased, while the porosity increased as the initial damage level increased. The distribution of T<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> signal intensity exposed to the low-temperature freezing–thawing–saturation treatment was rather larger than that under normal temperature conditions for samples with different levels of initial damage from preloading, indicating that the low-temperature freezing–thawing condition would promote the porosity and have an obvious increase in damage. A continuum damage model considering subzero-temperature freezing–thawing damage from different pore sizes was finally introduced to describe the damage evolution mechanism of sandstone. The research results can be used to quantitatively evaluate the damage evolution mechanism of sandstone treated by subzero-temperature freezing–thawing without mechanical tests.

Improving predictions in this crucial area was the goal of this study, which used a large dataset with 381 points and eight input factors. Also, the relevance of contributing components was assessed using a shapley additive explanations (SHAP) approach. In terms of predicting AAMs CS, RFR outperformed BR and SVM.

According to the outcomes of the SHAP research, the two factors that contributed the most beneficially to the strength were aggregate volumetric ratio and reactivity. The factors that contributed the most negatively were specific surface area, silicate modulus, and sodium hydroxide concentration.
