Numerical Analysis of Bearing Behavior of the Prebored Precast Pile with an Enlarged Base by Zao Ling, Jiangbin Wu, Weidong Wang

“…With the increase of the proportion of nodular piles, the ultimate bearing capacity increases slightly, but the deformation increases obviously. Under the condition of cement soil of the test piles, the spacing of the neighboring nodules of nodular piles has no obvious effect on the bearing capacity, and the 1 m spacing commonly used in engineering applications can be optimized. …”

Research on the optimization of mechanical properties of triply periodic minimal surfaces in composite materials prepared with the assistance of acoustic fields by Shuai Guo, Xianliang Sheng, Anfu Guo, Wenlu Yang, Xiaolin Zhao, Shang Sui, Jiaqiang Li, Yufan Zhao, Meng Wang, Xin Lin

“…The IPCs demonstrated the highest plateau stress, which can be attributed to the physical interlocking between the epoxy resin and the substrate, effectively enhancing deformation resistance. However, due to the earlier densification of IPCs during loading, SEA is somewhat reduced compared to the composite structures. …”
