This paper presents the mechanical behavior of thermally sprayed coatings produced using an arc wire coating material. The produced coatings were cut and subjected to strength resistance tests in static and in dynamic loading. The compressive behavior for the strain rates between 0.001 1/s and 2612 1/s was examined. The strain rate sensitivity of the material was recognized in the material during dynamic loading using the SHPB technique. Microstructural observations were made, and properties such as changes in porosity and the microhardness of the coatings tested were examined. A significant reduction in coating porosity was demonstrated after static loading (90%) and dynamic loading (86%). The result of porosity reduction is the strengthening of the coatings through an increase in the microhardness of these coatings after loading in the static test (160 HV 0.3/8) and the dynamic test (278 HV 0.3/8). As a result of the tests, the coatings retain their cohesion and remain consistent. At the same time, they can absorb a significant amount of mechanical energy due to plastic deformation and porosity reduction. The presented results concern a completely new coating material created from a core wire.

: Brain tissue immersed in cerebrospinal fluid often exhibits complex mechanical behaviour, especially the nonlinear stress- strain and rate-dependent responses. Despite extensive research into its material properties, the impact of solution environments on the mechanical behaviour of brain tissue remains limited. This knowledge gap affects the biofidelity of head modelling.

Airborne insects generate a leading edge vortex when they flap their wings. This coherent vortex is a low-pressure region that enhances the lift of flapping wings compared to fixed wings. Insect wings are thin membranes strengthened by a system of veins that does not allow large wing deformations.

Carrier-free nanomedicines exhibited significant potential in elevating drug efficacy and safety for tumor management, yet their self assembly typically relied on chemical modifications of drugs or the incorporation of surfactants, thereby compromising the drug's inherent pharmacological activity. To address this challenge, we proposed a triethylamine (TEA)-mediated protonation-deprotonation strategy that enabled the adjustable-proportion self assembly of dual drugs without chemical modification, achieving nearly 100% drug loading capacity. Molecular dynamic simulations, supported by experiment evidence, elucidated the underlying self-assembly mechanism.

Capacitive dielectric temperature sensors based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) loaded with 10 vol% of inexpensive, commercially-available conductive fillers including copper, graphite, and milled carbon fiber (PDMS-CF) powders are reported. The sensors are tested in the range of 20-110 °C and from 0.5 to 200 MHz, with enhanced sensitivity from 20 to 60 °C, and a relative response of 85.

The otic capsule and surrounding temporal bone exhibit complex 3D motion influenced by frequency and location of the bone conduction stimulus. The resultant correlation with the intracochlear pressure is not sufficiently understood, thus is the focus of this study, both experimentally and numerically. Experiments were conducted on six temporal bones from three cadaver heads, with BC hearing aid stimulation applied at the mastoid and classical BAHA locations across 0.
