Experimental Study on the Effect of Supercritical CO2 on Mechanical Properties and Fracture Characteristics of Longmaxi Shale by Ran Zhang, Hao Yan, Lin Yang, Kun Liao, Lei Tao

“…We studied the mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of a shale under the action of scCO2, nitrogen, helium, and water by comparing the triaxial compression tests of shale samples with seven coring angles. The results show that: (1) scCO2 effectively reduced compressive strength of the shale and weakened the anisotropy of shale; (2) scCO2 caused the content of dolomite, calcite, and illite to decrease by 4.7%∼13.5%, respectively; (3) scCO2 produced micropores and microfractures 10 times larger than the original size in the microstructure. …”

Predictive Control for Steel Rib Bending Based on Deep Learning by Yijiang Xia, Jinhui Luo, Zhuolin Ou, Xin Han, Junlin Deng, Ning Wu

“…This study proposes control methods for cold bending machines based on deep learning models to address this challenge, including CNN and Transformer-CNN (T-CNN), to predict the elastic spring-back rate of cold-processed metal profiles and generate precise control pulses for achieving target bending angles. Experimental validation using real-world datasets collected from a shipyard’s CNC cold bending machine demonstrates that the T-CNN model significantly reduces the number of steps required for each bending operation, achieving a 75% reduction in production time and substantially enhancing processing efficiency. …”
