Abstract Dissimilar welding of aluminum (Al) alloy to steel has been a long-running scientific and technological problem mainly for the automotive industry. It would allow to achieve new designs of optimized vehicle structures combining strength, lightweight and energy absorption ability. However, the weld strength is limited because of a brittle intermetallic layer (IML) formed at the weld interface. In our previous study, we demonstrated a significant improvement in weld strength by the addition of Ni to aluminum alloy. However, the effect of Ni addition on the fracture properties of IML remains unexplored. Moreover, additional Ni should… More >

Abstract The medium for next-generation communication is considered as fiber for fast, secure communication and switching capability. Mode division and space division multiplexing provide an excellent switching capability with high data transmission rate. In this work, the authors have approached an inverse modeling technique using regression-based machine learning to design a weakly coupled few-mode fiber for facilitating mode division multiplexing. The technique is adapted to predict the accurate profile parameters for the proposed few-mode fiber to obtain the maximum number of modes. It is for a three-ring-core few-mode fiber for guiding five, ten, fifteen, and twenty More >

Abstract The Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), as the most popular sequential data assimilation algorithm for history matching, has the intrinsic problem of high computational cost and the potential inconsistency of state variables updated at each loop of data assimilation and its corresponding reservoir simulated result. This problem forbids the reservoir engineers to make the best use of the 4D seismic data, which provides valuable information about the fluid change inside the reservoir. Moreover, only matching the production data in the past is not enough to accurately forecast the future, and the development plan based on the… More >

Abstract Owing to the apparent simple morphology and peculiar properties, nacre, an iridescent layer, coating of the inner part of mollusk shells, has attracted considerable attention of biologists, material scientists and engineers. The basic structural motif in nacre is the assembly of oriented plate-like aragonite crystals with a ’brick’ (CaCO₃ crystals) and ’mortar’ (macromolecular components like proteins) organization. Many scientific researchers recognize that such structures are associated with the excellent mechanical properties of nacre and biomimetic strategies have been proposed to produce new layered nanocomposites. During the past years, increasing efforts have been devoted towards exploiting nacre’s… More >
