In this paper, we present novel type of Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platform, based on stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM) covered with thin silver layer. The stainless steel wire mesh, typically used in chemical engineering industry, is a chea ...
Fatigue strengthening of existing steel structures is of great importance and has attracted lots of interest recently. Apart from the conventional strengthening technique, i.e. utilizing bulky and heavy steel plates and its disadvantages, carbon fiber rein ...
The Naturally Buckling Brace (NBB) is a steel brace developed by the writers, which consists of a high-strength and low-yielding steel channel arranged in parallel with an intentional eccentricity along the brace length. The NBB deforms with a novel mechan ...

A naturally buckling brace (NBB) is a steel brace that consists of a high-strength and low-yielding steel channel arranged in parallel with eccentricity acting along the brace length. To enhance the feasibility of NBB fabrication, three connecting design d ...
Propionitrile electrolyte solutions mixed with sulfolane or with 1-ethyl 3-methyl imidazolium tetracyanoborate (ionic liquid) are optimized for Co(bpy)(3)(3+)/Co(bpy)(3)(2+)-tmediated DSCs working at low illumination intensity. Highly-active cathode cataly ...
A thermal oil operated tube bundle heat exchanger within the off-gas from an electric arc furnace (EAF) was developed for supplying heat to an electricity generating system by empirical methods. In this process both the unsteady heat flux and the dust load ...
This paper describes a research program involving wood-sheathed and cold-formed steel (CFS) framed diaphragm assemblies.The diaphragm’s response to in-plane monotonic and reversed cyclic lateral loading is investigated in an effort to characterize the seis ...
In the field of modern steelmaking, continuous casting has become the major manufacturing process to handle a wide range of steel grades. An important criterion characterizing the quality of semi-finished cast products is the macrosegregation forming at th ...
The reliable estimation of the seismic performance of structures requires quantifying the aleatory and epistemic uncertainties of the system parameters. This is efficiently achieved for a case study of a four-story steel moment-resisting frame through seve ...
A numerical modeling approach is proposed to assess the effectiveness of automatic submerged arc welding procedures for steel plates with thickness larger than 50 mm. The scope of study includes partial joint penetration butt welds, their numerical analysi ...
