A rivet of aluminum and auxiliary gasket of nickel were adopted to weld A1060 aluminum plate and T2 copper plate using resistance element welding. The interfacial microstructure was analyzed and the tensile shear load of the joint was tested. A layer of AlCu and the eutectic structure of AlCu and (Al) were formed in the interfacial zone of Al/Cu. The grains in AlCu layer exhibit random crystal orientations. With the increase of welding current and the extension of welding time, the tensile shear load of the Al/Cu joint increased first and then decreased. When the welding current was 30 kA, the welding time was 400 ms, the tensile shear load of the joint reached the maximum, approximately 2.55 kN. The results reveal that the application of nickel auxiliary gasket in the resistance element welding of Al/Cu can promote the joining between the rivet shank and the upper plate and increase the tensile shear load of the joint.

Enhancing Meat Analog Texture Using Wet-Spun Fibroin Protein Fibers: A Novel Approach to Mimic Whole-Muscle Meat.

Institute for Advanced Biosciences, Keio University, Tsuruoka, Japan.
The increasing demand for protein-rich, plant-based foods has driven the development of meat analogs that closely mimic the texture and mouthfeel of animal meat. While plant-based fibrils and electrospun silk fibroin fibers have been explored for texture enhancement and scaffolding in both meat analogs and cell-based meats, the use of wet-spun fibroin protein fibers as a food ingredient remains underexplored. This study investigates the potential of wet-spun recombinant fibroin fibers to enhance the textural properties of meat analogs.

It is significant to study the stability of surrounding rock in soft rock tunnels to ensure construction safety and improve efficiency. Through triaxial shear tests on soft rock at various confining pressures, we observed the failure characteristics transitioning from strain softening to strain hardening as confining pressure increases. An improved Hoek-Brown strength criterion has been proposed to characterize the critical confining pressure effect of soft rock, with tensile strength in the tensile zone aligning with experimental results, showing an error of less than 5%.

However, their mechanical properties are sensitive to processing parameters that may lead to inconsistent characterization. Various test setups have been employed for characterizing hyperelastic materials; however, they are often costly.

Chitosan is one of the most abundant biopolymers on earth. It is used as a nontoxic alternative in a wide range of medicines, packaging, adhesives, and flame retardants. Chitosan is poorly soluble in neutral or alkaline solutions, but it dissolves in solutions of weak acids, such as acetic acid or citric acid, both of which occur naturally.
