In this study, an integrated topology optimization (TO) framework for the design of phase-change material (PCM) based latent-heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems is pre-sented. The framework simultaneously optimizes ...

With the increasing adoption of data-driven techniques in manufacturing, industries are leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning to enhance process efficiency and reliability. One critical area where these ...

Articular cartilage is the material covering the ends of synovial joints responsible for low friction articulation. Its multiphasic and inhomogeneous structure results in time-dependent tribological behavior. Osteoarthritis ...

The decarbonization of heavy-duty transportation remains a critical challenge in achieving global net-zero targets due to high energy demands and limited zero-emission alternatives. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) offer ...

Articular cartilage is a complex, spatially graded material. Understanding how the tissue’s mechanical behavior changes throughout its depth is important for understanding musculoskeletal pathologies and their possible ...
