Catalytic by S.A. Hanafi, H.M. Gobara, M.S. Elmelawy, S.A. Abo-El-Enein, A.A. Alkahlawy

“…TEM micrographs of the solid catalysts demonstrate well-dispersed Pt, Ni and Cr nanoparticles having sizes of 2–4 nm and 7–8 nm, respectively. The catalytic activity results indicate that the bimetallic (0.5Pt–0.3Cr)/D18H–Y catalyst is the most active towards n-hexane and n-heptane isomerization while (0.5Pt–0.6Ni)/D18H–Y catalyst can be designed as most suitable as a cracking catalyst.…”

Investigation on the formability and deformation mechanism of Zircaloy-4 sheets with different initial textures during stamping by Deng Siying, Xie Wenlong, Chen Shuaifeng, Song Hongwu, Zhang Shihong

“…The contribution of slip and twinning to crack formation was quantified. The simulation indicated that Zr-4 sheets with weaker textures exhibited better deformation compatibility, primarily due to enhanced activation of prismatic slip, whereas sheets with stronger textures showed dominant basal slip activity, which promoted cracking.…”

Acoustic Emission Characteristics of Normal and Layered Concrete Blocks during Dilating/Static Fracture by Ji Ma, Feng Du, Shuai Zhang

“…In this paper, using acoustic emission (AE) technology and surface displacement monitoring, the deformation and fracturing of ordinary-strength concrete, concrete with a soft interlayer, and layered concrete (with strength decreasing successively by layer) were studied under the effect of a static (or soundless) cracking agent (SCA). The experimental results indicated that (1) AE activity of the two layered concrete test blocks during static fracturing showed a gradually increasing trend, while that of the ordinary-strength concrete tended to first increase and then decrease; (2) for the concrete test block with a soft interlayer sandwiched by high-strength layers, the AE events reached a maximum in the transfer of expansion pressure stage, which accounted for 47.11% of the total value in static cracking; the macroscopic damage to layered concrete test blocks comprising multiple interlaid layers with different strengths mainly occurred in the fracturing stage, during which the AE events and AE energy accounted for 76.22% and 66.94%, respectively, of those in the whole static fracturing process; and (3) the duration of static fracturing prolonged with the increase of the overall strength of the concrete test blocks. …”

Stress superposition characteristics and roof structure control of recovery room in close distance coal seam by Zizhao FU, Jianbiao BAI, Shuai YAN, Dong ZHANG, Xiaodong ZHENG, Guangjun SUN, Yongjie WANG

“…The results show that: By establishing a mechanical model of the roof of the recovery room during the final mining period, it is determined that under the geological conditions of the mine, the support resistance P1≥3.05 MPa in the recovery room can ensure the stability of the surrounding rock of the recovery room after the working face and recovery room are connected; Using empirical formulas optimized by multiple linear and nonlinear regression analysis, it is estimated that the depth of failure of the upper coal seam working face floor is greater than 8.41 m and less than the interlayer spacing of 13.3 m; Using the UDEC numerical calculation model, the evolution law of cracks on the roof of the recovery room was inverted, and reinforcement measures were taken 10 m in advance for the roof of the recovery room under the goaf, and 15 m in advance for the roof of the recovery room under the coal pillar; Propose a comprehensive stability control technology for the combined active and passive support of anchor cables and individual pillars in the recovery room, as well as the advanced pre cracking of the surrounding rock in the inner roof of the coal pillar lower channel, and apply it to different stress affected areas of the recovery room. …”
