Multi-objective optimization of SUS430C steel turning process using hybrid machine learning and evolutionary algorithm approach by Nguyen Van-Canh, Nguyen Anh-Thang, Pham Ngoc-Linh, Nguyen Thuy-Duong

“…This study focuses on the turning process of SUS430C stainless steel, a ferritic stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance and moderate mechanical properties, commonly used in automotive and kitchen applications, a material widely used in industrial applications but challenging to machine due to its hardness and work-hardening characteristics. A hybrid approach combining Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) was employed to optimize three critical machining objectives: surface roughness (Ra), material removal rate (MRR), and tool wear (Vb). …”

A Fractional Creep Constitutive Model for Frozen Soil in Consideration of the Strengthening and Weakening Effects by Feng Hou, Quanming Li, Enlong Liu, Cheng Zhou, Mengke Liao, Huiwu Luo, Xingyan Liu

“…As the confining pressure increases, the test specimens only exhibit an attenuation creep because of the enhancing strengthening effect. Both the hardening parameter and the damage variable were introduced to describe the strengthening and weakening effects, respectively, and a new creep constitutive model for frozen soil considering these effects was put forward based on the theory of elastoviscoplastic and the fractional derivative. …”

Attribution of a record-breaking cold event in the historically warmest year of 2023 and assessing future risks by Yangbo Ye, Cheng Qian, Aiguo Dai, Yuting Zhang, Jiacheng Jiang, Xiaoye Zhang

“…Here, we show that the large-scale atmospheric circulation associated with the warm Arctic was the main event driver, explaining 83 ± 2% of the intensity of the 2023 cold event, whereas the thermodynamic effect of climate change suppressed the event intensity by −6 ± 3% in ERA5 and −22 ± 2% in HadGEM3-A-N216. An attribution analysis based on coupled model simulations shows that, due to anthropogenic climate change, the frequency and intensity of 2023-like events decrease by 92.5 ± 2.5% and 1.9 ± 0.2 °C, respectively, under the 2023 climate state. …”
