Safety assessment on girth welds of large-diameter X80 pipelines in water network area by Yuqing LIU, Zhenyong ZHANG, Shengsi WU, Beilei JI, Hong ZHANG, Xiaoben LIU

“…On this basis, the safety of pipeline welds at different locations in the soft soil settlement area was evaluated according to the Guide to Methods for Assessing the Acceptability of Flaws in Metallic Structures (BS 7910-2019). Meanwhile, the influence of external load conditions and weld misalignment was analyzed, which indicates that the increase of misalignment leads to an increase in the load ratio and toughness ratio used in the assessment, with the conservativeness reduced for the safety of pipeline. …”

Machine learning Hubbard parameters with equivariant neural networks by Martin Uhrin, Austin Zadoks, Luca Binci, Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov

“…Abstract Density-functional theory with extended Hubbard functionals (DFT + U + V) provides a robust framework to accurately describe complex materials containing transition-metal or rare-earth elements. It does so by mitigating self-interaction errors inherent to semi-local functionals which are particularly pronounced in systems with partially-filled d and f electronic states. …”

Analysis on the Difference of Impact Response between Single Coal-Rock Particle and the Box Structure-Based Tail Beam by Li-rong Wan, Zhe Li, Yang Yang, Ran Li

“…Firstly, through the construction and analysis of the impact theoretical model of the coal-rock particle and metal plate, it is found that the complex box structure of the tail beam makes it extremely difficult to establish the impact theoretical model of the coal-rock and box structure-based tail beam, so it is impossible to directly study the response of the box structure-based tail beam when the coal-rock impacts on the box structure-based tail beam by the theoretical method. …”

Uso de compostos de nióbio como catalisadores na produção de biocombustíveis: uma revisão by Júlia De Barros Dias Moreira, Pedro Henrique Cabral De Souza, Igor Cristelli De Sousa Silva, Renata Costa Silva Araújo, Camila Nunes Costa Corgozinho, Daniel Bastos de Rezende

“…Duas das principais contribuições para essa inviabilidade são o baixo desempenho dos processos (baixa conversão da matéria-prima e baixa seletividade dos produtos de interesse) e o alto custo dos catalisadores, que muitas vezes são feitos de metais nobres de pouca disponibilidade. O Nióbio é um metal com diversas aplicações, mas ainda pouco explorado industrialmente como catalisador, apesar de possuir propriedades interessantes para essa finalidade. …”
