The arch expansion damage of asphalt pavement is a typical disease in desert Gobi and saline-alkali areas, and the reasons for arch expansion are very complex. Exploring the impact of salt solution on the mechanical and drying shrinkage performances of cement-stabilized macadam helps to clarify the causes of the arch expansion damage. To this purpose, this paper designed a salt solution infiltration experiment, using salt solution infiltration to simulate the transmission and accumulation of salts in cement-stabilized macadam, and carried out the compressive and flexural tests of cement-stabilized mortar and cement-stabilized macadam, and measured the drying shrinkage performance of cement-stabilized mortar and macadam. The results show that the type of salt solution has a significant influence on the weight of the cement-stabilized mortar samples, sulfates will cause the samples to lose weight, while chlorides and mixed solutions cause the increase in weight. Chlorides and sulfates lead to the decrease in the strengths of cement-stabilized mortar and macadam. The salt crystallization will lead to the decline of the drying shrinkage strains of cement-stabilized mortar and macadam, which has a positive action for reducing the drying shrinkage deformation. However, under the combined action of chlorides and sulfates, cement-stabilized macadam expands with the moisture loss. This may be one of the important causes of the arch expansion of asphalt pavement in the Gobi area and saline-alkali area.

The possibility to use ferroelastic materials as components of neuromorphic devices is discussed. They can be used as local memristors with the advantage that ionic transport is constraint to twin boundaries where ionic diffusion is much faster than in the bulk and does not leak into adjacent domains. It is shown that nano-scale ferroelastic memristors can contain a multitude of domain walls. These domain walls interact by strain fields where the interactions near surfaces are fundamentally different from bulk materials. We show that surface relaxations (∼image forces) are curtailed to short range dipolar interactions which decay as 1/d2 where d is the distance between domain walls. In bigger samples such interactions are long ranging with 1/d. The cross-over regime is typically in the range of some 200–1500 nm using a simple spring interaction model.
本文讨论了将铁弹性材料用作神经形态设备元件的可能性。铁弹性材料可用作局部忆阻器，其优势在于离子传输受限于孪生边界，离子扩散速度远快于体态，且不会泄漏到相邻畴中。研究表明，纳米级铁弹性忆阻器可以包含大量畴壁。这些畴壁通过应变场相互作用，其中表面附近的相互作用与块体材料有本质区别。我们的研究表明，表面弛豫（∼图像力）被限制为短程偶极相互作用，其衰减为 1/d2，其中 d 是域壁之间的距离。在较大的样品中，这种相互作用是长程的，衰减为 1/d。使用简单的弹簧相互作用模型，交叉机制通常在大约 200-1500 nm 的范围内。

The residue generated during the production process of alumina, known as red mud, is a type of solid waste. The engineering properties of red mud can be significantly enhanced through the modification and solidification using inorganic materials. This study primarily utilized red mud as the raw material, supplemented with fly ash, lime, and clay, to conduct a solidification experiment of red mud. Orthogonal tests with three factors of two ash ratio (ratio of lime to fly ash), two ash content (total lime and fly ash), and red mud types were designed to study the changes of different ratios and maintenance conditions, etc., on the engineering properties of red mud. In addition, the micro-mechanisms of modified red mud were investigated by means of XRF, XRD, SEM and EDX. The results show that for optimum moisture content, red mud types are the most important influencing factor and for maximum dry density, two ash content is the most important influencing factor. For strength characteristics, the optimum two ash ratio was 1.5:1, the optimum two ash content was 50%, and the optimum red mud types were 70% CRM (red mud made of Chalco Shandong Co., Ltd) mixed with 30% clay. The addition of lime, fly ash, and clay improves the temperature shrinkage coefficient of the red mud. Through the analysis of microscopic composition and structure, it can be seen that goethite (α-FeO(OH)) and magnetite (γ-Fe2O3) in the red mud reacted with the modified materials to generate crystalline aluminosilicate and amorphous hydrated silicate gel, and these products together with the original calcium carbonate (CaCO3), tricalcium aluminate (Ca3Al2O6) and garnet (Ca3TiFeSi3O12) in the red mud which have certain strengths enhance the structural strength of the modified red mud. The optimum ratio obtained from the combined test results was lime: fly ash: CRM = 30:20:50. Therefore, using lime, fly ash and clay as modified materials can greatly enhance the engineering properties of red mud and realise the resourceful use of red mud.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) can exhibit different properties in different situations, such as non-emission and highly fluorescent in the dissolved state of the molecule and in the aggregate or solid state, respectively. This property of AIE is distinguished from aggregation-induced quenching (ACQ) or even the opposite. Combining the AIE phenomenon with different polymers yields different polymers with corresponding AIE properties. In this paper, the mechanism, synthesis, branching and application of AIE in the fields of optoelectronic functional materials, sensors, biology, and environment are reviewed. It is hoped that this review will stimulate more research on molecular aggregates and promote further cross-fertilisation and greater development in the disciplines of materials, chemistry and biomedicine.

Metamaterials are artificially created materials or structures with properties not found in nature. They encompass electromagnetic, acoustic, and mechanical metamaterials, which are particularly significant in applied engineering. Mechanical metamaterials exhibit unique mechanical properties such as vanishing shear modulus, negative Poisson’s ratio, negative compressibility, etc. This paper reviews the most commonly used mechanical metamaterials and discusses their applications in the field of applied engineering, specifically in vibration isolation, energy absorption, and vibration reduction. The prospects for future developments in this field are also presented.

Concrete faces the difficulties of low tensile strength and poor crack resistance in building structures. In order to remedy this deficiency. In this paper, steel-polypropylene hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (SPFRC) was prepared by adding steel fiber (SF) and three kinds of polypropylene fiber (PF) to C50-grade concrete. The mechanical properties and microstructure of SPFRC were studied with different fiber combinations and content, obtaining the best hybrid combination. Based on this, the bending resistance and cracking of SPFRC beam members were investigated. The results demonstrate that the addition of fiber improves the compressive strength of ordinary concrete by 0.16% ∼ 17.69%, the splitting tensile strength by 15.18% ∼ 47.45%, and the bending strength by 3.54% ∼ 26.77%. Compared with single-fiber concrete, the hybrid fiber can achieve better internal microstructure, which further enhances the mechanical properties of the material. Hybrid fibers overlap within concrete beams, effectively redistributing stress and inhibiting the formation and propagation of cracks. For the three types of SPFRC beams, the cracking load is increased by 14.29% ∼ 28.57% compared with PC beam, the ultimate bearing capacity is increased by 9.68% ∼ 19.35%. The optimal dosage is determined as 1.0% SF, 0.6% Embossed polypropylene fiber (PBF). It provides reference for the application of SPFRC in flexural members.

Sawdust, a solid waste generated during stone processing, poses a serious threat to the environment with its untreated accumulation. This paper first analyzes the chemical composition and physical properties of sawdust, and discusses its mechanism of action in cement mortar. By systematically optimizing the blending ratio and modification method of sawdust, the sawdust-modified cement mortar with excellent performance was prepared. This study evaluates the key performance indicators of sawdust-modified cement mortar, such as compressive strength, flexural strength, and durability, through a series of experiments. The experimental results indicate that the incorporation of an appropriate amount of sawdust significantly enhances the mechanical properties of cement mortar, while also improving its durability, particularly in terms of freeze-thaw resistance. Microstructural analysis reveals the mechanism by which sawdust improves the pore structure of cement mortar; the active components in the sawdust react with the hydration products of cement, resulting in the formation of crystalline structures with higher strength.Therefore, the use of sawdust as a modifier in cement mortar can improve its mechanical properties and durability, while simultaneously reducing the accumulation of solid waste and promoting the sustainable development of building materials.

The cracking of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is well known to promotes the chloride diffusion, accelerates the corrosion of reinforcement embedded in RAC. To reveal the mechanism of chloride diffusion in RAC under cracking, a multiphase mesoscopic model for chloride diffusion in RAC was proposed. It should be noted that RAC is regarded as eight-phase composite materials consisting of coarse aggregate, reinforcement, new and old mortar, new and old interface transition zones (ITZ), cracks, and damage zones. The effects of the width and depth of cracks and damage zones on chloride diffusion behavior in RAC after cracking were further investigated. The numerical simulation results show that the damage zones accelerate the chloride diffusion and exacerbates the accumulation effect of chloride at the crack tip. Compared to the crack depth, the crack width of RAC has a small effect on chloride diffusion behavior, especially, the crack width is less than 50 µm. More importantly, the chloride diffusion streamline generated by numerical simulation reveals the mechanism of cracks promoting chloride diffusion. The research in this paper provides new insights into the durability design of RAC by revealing the diffusion behavior of chloride ions in RAC.

Introduction: The emergence of electromagnetic wave pollution as a new form of pollution in human society is attributed to the advancements in communication technology and the electronic information business. In addition to harming priceless electronic equipment, these electromagnetic radiation and interference issues brought on by electrical and electronic devices have a major negative influence on human productivity and wellbeing. The secret to getting rid of electromagnetic radiation interference (EMI) and improving performance is electromagnetic shielding technology. Metamaterial absorber is a type of metamaterial that absorb EMI radiation. The benefits of metamaterial absorbers include their lightweight, simple construction, and excellent absorptivity.Methods: This paper proposes a novel metamaterial absorber for EMI radiation absorption. It consists of dielectric layers, metamaterial shielding layer and transmission line. The reflection of radiation is reduced by miniaturization of metamaterials.Results and Discussion: Simulation results show that the proposed design has better performance as compared to existing methods. The operating frequency range is from 23.1 to 28.3 GHz. The values of S21 with and without shielding are −5 dB and −0.05 dB, and the shielding effectiveness is 10.10 dB and a maximum of 12.63 dB.

In addition to harming priceless electronic equipment, these electromagnetic radiation and interference issues brought on by electrical and electronic devices have a major negative influence on human productivity and wellbeing. The secret to getting rid of electromagnetic radiation interference (EMI) and improving performance is electromagnetic shielding technology. Metamaterial absorber is a type of metamaterial that absorb EMI radiation. The benefits of metamaterial absorbers include their lightweight, simple construction, and excellent absorptivity.Methods: This paper proposes a novel metamaterial absorber for EMI radiation absorption. It consists of dielectric layers, metamaterial shielding layer and transmission line. The reflection of radiation is reduced by miniaturization of metamaterials.Results and Discussion: Simulation results show that the proposed design has better performance as compared to existing methods.
