Mechanical properties of thick steel plates used in shipbuilding, construction, and marine structures are critical, particularly under low-temperature and high-impact conditions. In this study, effects of aging temperature on stability of austenite and activation of TRIP and TWIP mechanisms on tensile and Charpy impact properties were analyzed for thick hot-rolled duplex lightweight steel plates. Unaged (as-rolled) C2 (Fe-0.2C-15Mn-6Al) specimen, with low stacking fault energy (SFE), was expected to activate the TRIP effect, but cracks easily initiated and propagated due to the numerous and wide ferrite/austenite interfaces, preventing sufficient activation of TRIP effect. In contrast, unaged C4 (Fe-0.4C-15Mn-6Al) specimen delayed the propagation of interfacial cracks, allowing the TRIP effect to activate, which improved the tensile strength and impact properties. After aging treatment, C4 specimen showed increased κ-carbide precipitation, reducing SFE and further activating the TRIP effect, which resulted in 296 J of Charpy impact absorption energy at room temperature and 196 J at −60 °C. This confirmed the importance of aging treatment for thick plate applications, and emphasized the significance of microstructure design for optimizing the performance of duplex lightweight steels. By minimizing ferrite/austenite interface separation and maximizing the TRIP effect, mechanical properties of the steel plates could be enhanced. In particular, aged C4 specimen provided high impact absorption and tensile properties, suggesting that excellent performance can be achieved through cost-efficient traditional manufacturing processes.

用于造船、建筑和海洋结构的厚钢板的机械性能是至关重要的，特别是在低温和高冲击条件下。本研究分析了时效温度对热轧双相轻钢奥氏体稳定性的影响，以及TRIP和TWIP活化机制对热轧双相轻钢厚板拉伸和夏比冲击性能的影响。未时效（轧制）的C2 （Fe-0.2C-15Mn-6Al）试样具有较低的层错能（SFE），有望激活TRIP效应，但由于铁素体/奥氏体界面众多且宽，裂纹容易产生和扩展，阻碍了TRIP效应的充分激活。相比之下，未老化的C4 （Fe-0.4C-15Mn-6Al）试样延迟了界面裂纹的扩展，使TRIP效应得以激活，从而提高了拉伸强度和冲击性能。时效处理后，C4试样的κ-碳化物析出增加，降低了SFE，进一步激活了TRIP效应，导致室温下的Charpy冲击吸收能为296 J，−60℃时为196 J。这证实了时效处理对厚板应用的重要性，并强调了微观组织设计对优化双相轻钢性能的重要性。通过减少铁素体/奥氏体界面分离和最大化TRIP效应，可以提高钢板的力学性能。特别是，老化的C4样品具有较高的冲击吸收和拉伸性能，这表明通过经济高效的传统制造工艺可以实现优异的性能。

Marine biofouling poses a significant threat to the integrity of marine high-strength steel. This study systematically investigated the influence of macrofouling organisms (barnacles, oysters, and mussels) on the corrosion and hydrogen permeation behavior of a marine high-strength steel through real-sea exposure tests and electrochemical analysis. The results revealed that macrofouling transformed the corrosion mode from uniform corrosion to severe localized pitting and crevice corrosion. The formation of occluded cells beneath the attached organisms induced local acidification and chloride enrichment. Furthermore, the proliferation of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in these microenvironments generated electrically conductive FeS and promoted cathodic depolarization. Crucially, the coupling of acidic occluded cells and SRB metabolic products—which inhibit hydrogen recombination—significantly enhanced the hydrogen permeation flux. This synergistic intensification of localized corrosion and hydrogen uptake markedly increases the material’s susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and hydrogen embrittlement. These findings provide essential theoretical insights for the service safety assessment of high-strength steels in marine environments.

海洋生物污染对海洋高强钢的完整性构成了严重威胁。本研究通过实际海暴露试验和电化学分析，系统研究了大型污染生物（藤壶、牡蛎和贻贝）对海洋高强钢腐蚀和氢渗透行为的影响。结果表明，大污染使腐蚀模式由均匀腐蚀转变为严重的局部点蚀和缝隙腐蚀。附着生物下面的闭塞细胞的形成引起局部酸化和氯化物富集。此外，硫酸盐还原菌（SRB）在这些微环境中的增殖产生导电FeS并促进阴极去极化。关键是，酸性闭塞细胞与SRB代谢产物的偶联（抑制氢重组）显著增强了氢渗透通量。这种局部腐蚀和氢吸收的协同强化显著增加了材料对应力腐蚀开裂（SCC）和氢脆的敏感性。这些发现为海洋环境中高强度钢的使用安全性评估提供了重要的理论见解。

Metamaterials have attracted considerable attention for their exceptional performance and multifunctionality. Traditional honeycomb structures with periodically arranged straight beams often exhibit limited mechanical properties and a narrow range of applications. To address these limitations, this study proposes a novel metamaterial design featuring cosine-shaped beams inspired by the biomechanics of the human spine and the curved architecture of cuttlebone, allowing for tunable Poisson’s ratios. The compression mechanical properties and vibration isolation performance of these structures are systematically investigated through analytical modeling, quasi-static compression experiments, finite element simulations, and vibration isolation tests. Results reveal that adjusting cell angles of structures can enhance deformation stability and enable stiffness tuning. Compared to straight beam structures, the proposed cosine-shaped beam structures exhibit wider vibration isolation frequency range. Structures with zero Poisson’s ratio demonstrate superior vibration isolation at small cell angles, while those with negative Poisson’s ratio at specific cell angle achieve an optimal balance of high strength, energy absorption, and vibration isolation. This study provides systematic guidance for designing metamaterials with adjustable multifunctional mechanical properties, offering innovative solutions for advanced engineering applications across diverse fields.

超材料以其优异的性能和多功能性引起了人们的广泛关注。具有周期性排列的直梁的传统蜂窝结构往往表现出有限的力学性能和狭窄的应用范围。为了解决这些限制，本研究提出了一种新的超材料设计，其特点是受人类脊柱的生物力学和海骨的弯曲结构的启发，具有余弦形状的光束，允许可调的泊松比。通过分析建模、准静态压缩实验、有限元模拟和隔振试验，系统地研究了这些结构的压缩力学性能和隔振性能。结果表明，调整结构单元角度可以提高结构的变形稳定性，实现刚度调节。与直梁结构相比，所提出的余弦型梁结构具有更宽的隔振频率范围。泊松比为零的结构在小胞角处具有较好的隔振性能，而在特定胞角处泊松比为负的结构在高强度、吸能和隔振方面达到最佳平衡。该研究为设计具有可调节多功能力学性能的超材料提供了系统的指导，为不同领域的先进工程应用提供了创新的解决方案。

High-strength, tough bulb flat steel is critical for hull stiffness regulation and lightweight design. Conventional furnace quenching of bulb flat steel suffers from inherent limitations including significant deformation, challenging straightening, and considerable fluctuations in mechanical properties. This study introduces a multi-stage induction heating technique that effectively addresses these issues, enabling successful induction quenching of large-scale bulb flat steel while incorporating embedded thermocouples for real-time monitoring of the temperature field. Experimental results demonstrate that three-stage high-temperature quenching (3IH) reduces the peak temperature variation across the bulb section by 55 % and decreases the yield strength differential between the bulb and flat by 73 %. The superior performance of 3IH is attributed to enhanced microstructural homogeneity under elevated temperatures, which improves strength uniformity through dislocation-mediated mechanisms. In contrast, two-stage low-temperature quenching (2IH) exhibits marginally lower strength but achieves exceptional ultra-low temperature toughness (−100 °C, KV₂ ≥ 190 J) via synergistic effects of multiphase microstructure and grain refinement. The formation of multiphase microstructure in 2IH is governed by carbon diffusion coefficient, diffusion duration, and undissolved ferrite content. Furthermore, the flat region in 2IH undergoes a distinctive two-stage austenitization process that introduces high-density dislocations, resulting in greater dislocation strengthening contributions compared to 3IH.

高强度、高韧性球茎扁钢对船体刚度调节和轻量化设计至关重要。球型扁钢的传统电炉淬火存在固有的局限性，包括明显的变形、具有挑战性的矫直以及机械性能的相当大的波动。本研究介绍了一种多级感应加热技术，有效地解决了这些问题，使大型球型扁钢成功感应淬火，同时结合嵌入式热电偶实时监测温度场。实验结果表明，三级高温淬火（3IH）使球茎截面的峰值温度变化降低了55%，使球茎与平板之间的屈服强度差降低了73%。3IH的优异性能归因于高温下增强的显微组织均匀性，这通过位错介导的机制提高了强度均匀性。相比之下，两段低温淬火（2IH）的强度略低，但通过多相组织和晶粒细化的协同作用，获得了优异的超低温韧性（- 100°C, KV2≥190 J）。2IH中多相组织的形成受碳扩散系数、扩散时间和未溶铁素体含量的影响。此外，与3IH相比，2IH的平坦区经历了独特的两阶段奥氏体化过程，引入了高密度的位错，导致更大的位错强化贡献。

Elastomeric, architected energy absorbers are fabricated by fused filament fabrication (FFF) of dissolvable molds, casting and curing elastomeric resins in the mold cavities, and then dissolving the mold. Multiple mold materials and dissolution solvents are considered, with water-soluble, butenediol vinyl alcohol copolymer (BVOH) molds down selected based on compatibility and dissolution rate studies. A diverse set of lattices, springs, and generalized cylindrical shells are fabricated using cast silicone and urethane elastomers with durometers from 20A to 60D, as well as a foamed elastomer lattice and a glassy epoxy lattice. The use of vacuum during casting enables fine features with high geometric accuracy. Comparisons between cast springs and elastomeric springs fabricated directly via FFF show the superior geometric resolution, and mechanical property space, available using this casting approach. Quasistatic and dynamic compression are performed demonstrating a wide range of mechanical responses, including high energy absorption efficiency. Additional hybrid lattices are fabricated using two different polymers within a single, interlocked structure. The results of this study demonstrate that FFF of dissolvable molds can be used to fabricate complex geometry energy absorbers over a wider range of material properties and chemistries, and with superior feature resolution, compared to the direct FFF fabrication of such structures.

To enhance the strength of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels and promote their engineering application, powder metallurgy (PM) was employed in this study to directly produce fine-grained TWIP steels with average grain sizes of 2.93–11.93 μm, bypassing complex conventional processes involving induction melting, plastic deformation, and heat treatment. The quasi-static and dynamic compression properties of these samples exhibited a typical grain size dependence. Compared to the quasi-statically compressed samples, the dynamically compressed samples demonstrated enhanced work hardening, characterized by a higher flow stress and an increased work-hardening rate, along with a notable positive strain rate sensitivity. High-speed impact activated significant dislocation glide, leading to rapid dislocation multiplication, extensive twin nucleation, and particle deformation that generated high-energy distortion zones. This process also produced a high density of low-angle boundaries (LABs). Grain boundaries (GBs) and precipitation strengthening were the main drivers of work hardening. These mechanisms involved dislocation interactions with single Mn-rich particles, GB-associated particles, and those linked to twins. In contrast, twinning strengthening played a minor role due to the poor twin structure resulting from the suppressed twinning.

为了提高孪生诱导塑性（TWIP）钢的强度，促进TWIP钢的工程应用，本研究采用粉末冶金技术直接制备了平均晶粒尺寸为2.93 ~ 11.93 μm的TWIP钢，绕过了复杂的传统工艺，包括感应熔化、塑性变形和热处理。这些样品的准静态和动态压缩性能表现出典型的晶粒尺寸依赖性。与准静态压缩试样相比，动态压缩试样表现出更强的加工硬化，其特征是更高的流动应力和更高的加工硬化速率，以及显著的正应变率敏感性。高速冲击激活了显著的位错滑动，导致位错快速增殖，广泛的孪核和颗粒变形，产生了高能变形区。这个过程也产生了高密度的低角度边界（lab）。晶界和析出强化是加工硬化的主要驱动因素。这些机制包括与单个富锰颗粒、gb相关颗粒和双胞胎相关颗粒的位错相互作用。相比之下，孪晶强化作用较小，因为孪晶抑制导致孪晶结构较差。

The cement-iron ore tailings foam composite (CIFC) provides a sustainable solution by partially replacing cement with iron ore tailings. Fibers can be incorporated into composite materials to improve crack resistance and toughness, thereby enhancing dynamic mechanical performance. However, the dynamic properties of CIFC with fibers remain inadequately explored. This study investigates the dynamic compressive behavior of CIFC reinforced with glass fiber (GF), basalt fiber (BF), and polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVAF) at contents ranging from 1.0 % to 2.5 % under varying strain rates. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates a higher content of hydration products in BF- and PVAF-reinforced CIFC than in the GF-reinforced composite. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals that a fiber content of 2.0 % optimizes fiber–matrix bonding and reduces interconnected pores and micro-cracks. Dynamic tests using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) show that all specimens reach optimum performance at a fiber content of 2.0 % at strain rates of 120–250 s⁻¹. PVAF-reinforced CIFC exhibits superior structural integrity after impact, while GF-reinforced CIFC achieves higher dynamic mechanical performance. For instance, at 250 s⁻¹, GF2.0 attains a compressive strength of 18.21 MPa, compared to 14.49 MPa for BF2.0 and 13.24 MPa for PVAF2.0. Energy dissipation analysis further reveals the strong dependence of energy absorption on fiber type and content. Among all mixes, GF2.0 exhibits the greatest sensitivity to input energy, with its strain energy density (SED) increasing from 262.48 to 1300.29 kJ/m³, energy dissipation ratio (R) from 2.14 % to 9.66 %, and dissipated energy density (E_V) from 62.37 to 1231.02 kJ/m³, respectively, as the input energy rises from 515.50 to 2229.30 J. These findings provide insights for designing impact-resistant structural applications using CIFC with optimized fiber parameters.

水泥-铁矿尾砂泡沫复合材料（CIFC）是一种用铁矿尾砂部分替代水泥的可持续解决方案。在复合材料中掺入纤维可以提高材料的抗裂性和韧性，从而提高材料的动态力学性能。然而，对含纤维的CIFC的动态特性研究还不够充分。本文研究了玻璃纤维（GF）、玄武岩纤维（BF）和聚乙烯醇纤维（PVAF）在1.0% ~ 2.5%含量范围内增强的CIFC在不同应变速率下的动态压缩行为。x射线衍射（XRD）结果表明，BF和pvaf增强的CIFC的水化产物含量高于gf增强的复合材料。扫描电镜（SEM）显示，2.0%的纤维含量优化了纤维与基体的结合，减少了相互连接的孔隙和微裂纹。采用分离式霍普金森压杆（SHPB）进行的动态试验表明，当纤维含量为2.0%时，在应变速率为120-250 s−1时，所有试样均达到最佳性能。pvaf增强的CIFC具有较好的冲击后结构完整性，而gf增强的CIFC具有较高的动态力学性能。例如，在250 s−1时，GF2.0的抗压强度为18.21 MPa，而BF2.0为14.49 MPa, PVAF2.0为13.24 MPa。能量耗散分析进一步揭示了能量吸收对纤维种类和含量的强烈依赖性。在所有混合材料中，GF2.0对输入能量的敏感性最大，当输入能量从515.50 j增加到2229.30 j时，其应变能密度（SED）从262.48增加到1300.29 kJ/m3，能量耗散比(R)从2.14%增加到9.66%，耗散能密度（EV）从62.37增加到1231.02 kJ/m3。这些研究结果为使用优化纤维参数的CIFC设计抗冲击结构应用提供了参考。

Superconducting materials have long attracted interest, but their practical applications are constrained by the requirement for extremely low transition temperatures or high pressures. In this study, inspired by the ambient-pressure superconductor Mg₂IrH₆, a series of quaternary ABIrH₆ compounds (where A, B = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) were designed through binary substitution of Group II elements. Using first-principles calculations, we evaluated the thermodynamic, mechanical, and dynamical stability of these hydrogen-rich metallic compounds, identifying five stable structures. Notably, MgCaIrH₆ and MgSrIrH₆ exhibit superconducting transition temperatures of 33.4 and 23.2 K, respectively. Electron–phonon coupling (EPC) analysis reveals that phonons in the 0–18 THz range contribute considerably to the EPC, with hydrogen accounting for nearly half of the total contribution. The superconducting phases exhibit a higher hydrogen density of states at the Fermi level, indicating enhanced coupling. The complex Fermi surface topology and the relatively low electron localization between adjacent Ir–H octahedra represent key differences between the superconducting and non-superconducting phases within the same structural framework. Additionally, although some non-superconducting compounds exhibit higher Debye temperatures, the low electronic density of states at the Fermi level suppresses the electron–phonon coupling.

超导材料长期以来一直引起人们的兴趣，但其实际应用受到极低转变温度或高压要求的限制。在本研究中，受常压超导体Mg2IrH6的启发，通过II族元素的二元取代设计了一系列ABIrH6四元化合物（其中a， B = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba）。利用第一性原理计算，我们评估了这些富氢金属化合物的热力学、力学和动力学稳定性，确定了五种稳定的结构。MgCaIrH6和MgSrIrH6的超导转变温度分别为33.4 K和23.2 K。电子-声子耦合（EPC）分析表明，0-18 THz范围内的声子对EPC的贡献很大，其中氢占总贡献的近一半。超导相在费米能级表现出更高的态氢密度，表明耦合增强。复杂的费米表面拓扑结构和相邻Ir-H八面体之间相对较低的电子局域化代表了在相同结构框架内超导相和非超导相之间的关键区别。此外，尽管一些非超导化合物表现出更高的德拜温度，但在费米能级上的低电子密度抑制了电子-声子耦合。

The amino acids (AA) have been considered as building blocks of proteins rather so far than the hybrid organic–inorganic materials (HOIM), like polymers or perovskites (HOIP). Yet, here we present the structure–property relation results for four HOIMs based on a simple AA – sarcosine (N-methylglycine) and metal halides MX₂, where M=Sr, Ba and X=Cl, Br. The studies reveal a presence of reversible phase transitions above room-temperature in each crystal associated with crystal transformation into different symmetries, caused by a rearrangement of the metal coordination spheres. These materials constitute a cheap, bio-based alternative for organic–inorganic perovskites.

到目前为止，氨基酸（AA）一直被认为是蛋白质的组成部分，而不是像聚合物或钙钛矿（HOIP）这样的有机无机混合材料（HOIM）。然而，我们在这里给出了基于简单的AA -肌氨酸（n -甲基甘氨酸）和金属卤化物MX2的四种HOIMs的结构-性质关系结果，其中M=Sr, Ba， X=Cl, Br。研究表明，在室温以上，由于金属配位球的重排，每个晶体都存在可逆的相变，这些相变与晶体转变成不同的对称性有关。这些材料构成了有机-无机钙钛矿的廉价生物基替代品。

Quantifying material response to external cyclic loading is an essential prerequisite for calculating the fatigue life of components and estimating their reliability. Conventional methods, such as experiments and physics-based simulations, used to obtain cyclic behaviour, have served us well but are time-consuming and can be expensive. In particular, the accuracy of simulations heavily relies on the accuracy of their constitutive laws and the precision with which their parameters are calibrated. An alternative approach, proposed in this research, is a deep learning-based method that efficiently predicts cyclic responses using a Transformer model with a scale factor and tailored loss function. To train the model, constant-amplitude cyclic experiments on stainless steel type 316H were conducted. Training was performed at strain ranges of 0.3% and 2.0%, and the model’s predictive performance was evaluated at an unseen strain range of 1.2%. Furthermore, a data-driven User Hardening (UHARD) model was devised, integrating the predictions of the Transformer model into a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) framework. The UHARD successfully captured the combined isotropic and kinematic hardening effects of 316H stainless steel at the 1.2% strain range, outperforming the Armstrong-Frederick model, which is a conventional approach for simulating the yield stress evolution under cyclic loading. The developed UHARD model can be used in engineering applications to predict the cyclic behaviour of engineering components with complex geometry and loading cycles.

量化材料对外循环载荷的响应是计算构件疲劳寿命和评估其可靠性的必要前提。传统的方法，如实验和基于物理的模拟，用于获得循环行为，已经为我们提供了很好的服务，但既耗时又昂贵。特别是，模拟的准确性在很大程度上依赖于其本构律的准确性和其参数校准的精度。本研究中提出的另一种方法是基于深度学习的方法，该方法使用具有比例因子和定制损失函数的Transformer模型有效地预测循环响应。为了训练模型，对316H型不锈钢进行了等幅循环实验。在0.3%和2.0%的应变范围内进行训练，在1.2%的未知应变范围内评估模型的预测性能。此外，设计了一个数据驱动的用户强化（UHARD）模型，将变压器模型的预测集成到有限元分析（FEA）框架中。UHARD成功捕获了316H不锈钢在1.2%应变范围内的各向同性和运动硬化效应，优于模拟循环加载下屈服应力演变的常规方法Armstrong-Frederick模型。开发的UHARD模型可用于工程应用，以预测具有复杂几何形状和加载周期的工程部件的循环行为。
