Reliability and mechanical performance of timber–concrete composite beams in the non-linear domain by Nabil Daanoune, Nassim Kernou, Mamoun Fellah, Gamal A. El-Hiti

“…The structural reliabilities of the beams were assessed using the MCS, FORM, and SORM methods, in which the geometric and mechanical input characteristics were treated as random variables. Certain parameters significantly affect beam failure, such as the timber’s bending resistance, the concrete’s compressive resistance, and the degree of composite action.…”

Nanoindentation creep response of Ti–6Al–4V ELI alloy manufactured via laser powder bed fusion by Jeong-Rim Lee, Min-Su Lee, Ha-Seong Baek, Si Mo Yeon, Minki Kim, Tea-Sung Jun

“…Creep displacement results show that the anisotropic creep behaviour in the XY and XZ planes of the as-built, and heat treatment enhances the creep resistance of the XZ plane, while there is no significant difference in creep displacement between the as-built and heat-treated XY planes. Due to the higher dislocation density and compressive residual stress in the XY plane compared to the XZ plane, the creep resistance is higher in the XY plane for the as-built. …”
