Animal studies suggest that increased levels of circulating angiotensin II (AngII) could
contribute to the loss of lean body mass in chronic kidney disease, but the mechanism by which …

Simple shear presents a local material structure–property relationship and plays an important
role in the development of material design, mechanical modeling, and manufacturing …

A major challenge for additive manufactured titanium blades is to improve an unfavorable
fatigue life. In this work, the rotating bending fatigue test was carried out on the laser direct …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increase in inflammatory cytokines and
can result in cachexia with loss of muscle and fat stores. We previously demonstrated the …

Combined manufacturing of direct energy deposition (DED) and laser shock peening (LSP)
exhibits great potentials in repairing titanium alloy components and improving their …

Additive remanufacturing technology, as one of the key technologies of remanufacturing
engineering, can realize the integrated repair of the structure and function of high value-added …

Engineering geological and hydro-geological characteristics of foundation rock and surrounding
rock mass are the main factors that affect the stability of underground engineering. This …

Ti 2 AlNb-based alloys exhibit attractive properties and it is challenging to increase their
environmental stability at high temperatures. Laser shock peening (LSP) was employed to …

Although refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) possess excellent softening resistance and
thermal stability at high temperatures, their practical application is often limited due to room …

Nanosecond laser shock peening (NLSP) with over-layers is attractive because it generates
grain refinement and compressive residual stress for 7050 aluminum alloy. Femtosecond …
