Improvement on Structural Forms of Pile Group Foundations of Deepwater Bridges by Enbo Yu, Sen Ren, Haojun Tang, Yongle Li, Chen Fang

“…The results show that the displacement at the top of the foundation increases with the increase in the pile length until the cap partly emerges from water and so does the internal force at the bottom. Setting a constraint in the middle of the piles can reduce their free lengths and is favourable to the wave-induced response of the foundation except for the shearing force. …”

Optimizing microstructure for enhanced performance: A novel approach to EMI shielding with thin Mg98.5Zn0.5Y alloy sheets by Z.X. Feng, G.Y. Zhang, J.L. Dong, T.M. Li, Z.S. Chen, J. Cao, X.H. Chen, J.H. Yi, F.S. Pan

“…Additionally, increased rolling passes lead to higher density of 14H-LPSO phases and reduced lamellar spacing, contributing to improved internal reflection and energy dissipation. This work suggests that the lightweight and ultra-thin Mg98.5Zn0.5Y sheet, with its optimized microstructure, holds great potential as a high-performance EMI shielding material for practical electronic applications.…”
