Mechanical properties of FeCrMn-based steels are of major importance for practical applications. In this work, we investigate mechanical properties of disordered paramagnetic fcc FeCr 10 ⁻ 16 Mn 12 ⁻ 32 alloys using density functional theory. The effects of composition and temperature changes on the magnetic state, elastic properties and stacking fault energies of the alloys are studied. Calculated dependencies of the lattice and elastic constants are used to evaluate the effect of the solid solution strengthening by Mn and Cr using a modified Labusch-Nabarro model and a model for concentrated alloys. The effect of Cr and Mn alloying on the stacking fault energies is calculated and discussed in connection to possible deformation mechanisms.

Extracellular matrix (ECM)-based small-diameter vascular grafts (SDVGs, inner diameter (ID) < 6 mm) hold great promise for clinical applications. However, existing ECM-based SDVGs suffer from limited donor availability, complex purification, high cost, and insufficient mechanical properties. SDVGs with ECM-like structure and function, and good mechanical properties were rapidly prepared by optimizing common materials and preparation, which can improve their clinical prospects.

The mechanical coupling between molecules represents a promising route for the development of molecular machines. Constructing molecular gears requires easily rotatable and mutually interlocked pinions. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), it is demonstrated that aluminum phthalocyanine (AlPc) molecules on Pb(100) exhibit these properties.

The impact of light radiation, a predominant energy release mechanism in nuclear explosions, on material properties is of critical importance. This investigation employed an artificial light source to replicate the effects of nuclear explosion radiation and utilized a physical information neural network (PINN) to examine the temperature evolution and corresponding changes in the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites (CFEC). A light source simulating nuclear explosion's light radiation was built to irradiate the CFEC, then measure the reflection spectrum and temperature of samples.

Hydraulic fracturing, which forms complex fracture networks, is a common technique for efficiently exploiting low-permeability conglomerate reservoirs. However, the presence of gravel makes conglomerate highly heterogeneous, endowing the deformation, failure, and internal micro-scale fracture expansion mechanisms with uniqueness. The mechanism of fracture expansion when encountering gravel in conglomerate reservoirs remains unclear, challenging the design and effective implementation of hydraulic fracturing.

Research investigating the complex mechanical properties and energy evolution mechanisms of frozen calcareous clay under the influence of multiple factors is crucial for optimizing the artificial ground freezing method in shaft sinking, thereby enhancing construction quality and safety. In this study, a four-factor, four-level orthogonal test was devised, taking into account temperature, confining pressure, dry density, and water content. The complex nonlinear curvilinear relationship between deviatoric stress, volume strain, and axial strain of frozen calcareous clay under different interaction levels was analyzed.
