Improved Shape-Finding Method and Parametric Study for Designing Asymmetric Suspension Bridges in Mountainous Terrain by Chenchen Jiang, Yangxun Ou, Weiyu Tang, Shengjun Hou, Rui Luo, Yuhao Jin, Bin Sun

“…To address this gap, based on a real-world suspension bridge with a main span length of 700 m, this paper first presents an improved shape-finding method that can fully consider the components of hanger forces in each construction step. In the iterative process, the shape of the cable is determined based on the equilibrium equations, and the hanger forces are calculated through the nonlinear finite element analysis. …”

Improving the Corrosion Resistance of NiNb-Based Bulk Metallic Glass through the Hot Compression by Abeer Abdullah Al Anazi, Andrés Alexis Ramírez-Coronel, Rasha Fadhel Obaid, Abdullah Albaker, M. Abdulfadhil Gatea, Seyed Mojtaba Mostafavi

“…On the other hand, the hot deformation affected the Ni55Nb35Co5Zr5 alloy in a positive way, so that the corrosion behavior improved compared with its fully glassy state. It is suggested that the hot deformation induces some NiNb crystalline constituencies in the microstructure of Ni55Nb35Co5Zr5 BMG, leading to the enrichment of glassy matrix from Zr/Co constituencies and the enhancement of corrosion resistance.…”
