Graph-convolutional neural networks for predicting tunnel boring machine performance

Accurately predicting Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) performance is critical in construction processes. Traditional machine learning models often struggle to achieve accurate prediction as they fail to capture both the temporal dependencies and the…

New insights into microstructure evolution and deformation mechanisms in additively manufactured 316L stainless steel

The evolution of the deformation micro-mechanisms and the dislocation structures in additively manufactured (AM) 316L steel was investigated via in-situ SEM/EBSD tensile tests coupled with fine TEM investigations at different strain levels. We show…

Measuring interdiffusion coefficient from XRD spectra of thermally annealed superlattices: A combined modeling and experimental study in Fe–Cr nanometric multilayers

In this paper, we employ atomic kinetic Monte Carlo (AKMC) simulations to get insight into the kinetics of Fe–Cr interdiffusion in nanometric multilayer materials, and the relevant information that can be extracted from the evolution of the…

Effect of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose on the Properties of Hemp Concrete

Hemp concrete, the most widely researched bio-aggregate concrete made from hemp shiv and lime, is highly valued in the building envelope for its negative carbon balance, thermal-acoustic insulation, and moisture regulation properties. However, its…

On a multiscale strategy for parametrized strongly coupled thermo-poroelasticity problems

Most industrial systems involve physical phenomena of sundry kinds (mechanical, thermal, chemical, electromagnetic, etc.), which can evolve in a strongly coupled manner, meaning that there is a mutual interaction between at least two physics. This…
