Effect of Laser Shock Peening Parameters on Residual Stresses and Corrosion Fatigue of AA5083 (open access)

Effect of Laser Shock Peening Parameters on Residual Stresses and Corrosion Fatigue of AA5083

Article examining Aluminium alloy 5083 subjected to Laser Shock Peening both with (LSP) and without protective coating (LPwC) at multiple pulse densities. A second LPwC treatment was conducted fully submersed under water, in addition to the standard laminar water flow condition. Results show that compressive residual stresses were generated in all cases, although their character varied depending on the peening strategy and method of confinement.

Effect of composition and thermal history on deformation behavior and cluster connections in model bulk metallic glasses (open access)

Effect of composition and thermal history on deformation behavior and cluster connections in model bulk metallic glasses

Article describes the compositional dependence and influence of relaxation state on the deformation behavior of a Pt–Pd-based bulk metallic glasses model system was investigated, where platinum is systematically replaced by topologically equivalent palladium atoms. Based on total scattering experiments with synchrotron X-ray radiation, a correlation between the increase in stiffer 3-atom cluster connections and reduction in strain-rate sensitivity, as a measure of ductility, with Pd content and thermal history is suggested.

Editorial: Superlubricity across the scales

Article talks about how while the idea of frictionless surfaces and the associated implications of vanishing energy losses during mechanical motion have been part of science fiction culture, scientists in the real world work toward realizing this ambitious goal that was once thought to be unattainable. The overarching goal of the research topic titled “Superlubricity Across the Scales” is to provide a snapshot of the latest developments in this rapidly accelerating field of research.

Mechanochemical Reconstruction Principles for Two-Dimensional Material Adaptation to Applied Stresses

Data management plan for the grant, "Mechanochemical Reconstruction Principles for Two-Dimensional Material Adaptation to Applied Stresses." This grant focuses on understanding how 2D materials change their structure and function under loading and shear stresses. For this, we will investigate the fundamental origins of solid-state interactions, unraveling the processes occurring at contacting surfaces during sliding, why some materials show better stability than others, and how one can use these novel 2D materials for mitigating friction and wear and enabling superlubricity.
