Aluminum alloy has been widely used in modern engineering structures due to its good corrosion resistance, light-weight, convenient processing, and recyclability. To study the bonding behavior of concrete-filled aluminum alloy tubes (CFAT) columns and obtain the bond strength formula and bond-slip constitutive model of CFAT, the push-out tests of three circular and three square CFAT specimens were conducted. The failure patterns, load-slip/strain curves and the stress distribution of the stubs were investigated. The results show that the longitudinal strain of both square and circular CFAT specimens increased from the loading end towards the free end. Based on the elastic assumption, the interfacial bond stress of CFAT was calculated. The ultimate bond strength for the circular specimens ranged from 0.77 to 1.77 MPa, whilst the square ones ranged from 0.22 to 0.51 MPa. As the section size increased, the bond strength of CFAT gradually decreased. When the diameter-to-thickness ratio or the width-to-thickness ratio increased from 48.0 to 80.0, the ultimate bond strength of the square and circular specimens decreased by 67.2% and 67.5%, respectively. Additionally, a calculation formula for the ultimate bond strength of CFAT is proposed. Based on the proposed formula for characteristic points, a bond-slip constitutive model for CFAT columns is proposed and validated. Finally, based on the verified bond-slip constitutive model of CFAT, the finite element (FE) models of spring element and cohesive model are established, respectively. The modeling result of the spring element is more accurate and the calculation efficiency is higher. However, the modeling process is complex.

Due to the lack of inherent geometric symmetry present in the structures of aluminum oxide clusters, determining their stable configuration becomes an exceedingly formidable task computationally. In this comprehensive analysis, we first propose the most stable state of AlO, determined through Density Functional Theory calculations at ωB97XD/Def2-TZVP level of theory. Multiple structural isomers were scrutinized for their stability and spin state, with the optimal structure determined using the bee colony algorithm for global optimization.

Physical hydrogels, three-dimensional polymer networks with reversible cross-linking, have been widely used in many developments throughout the history of mankind. However, physical hydrogels face significant challenges in applications due to wound rupture and low elasticity. Some self-heal wounds with strong ionic bond throughout the network but struggle to immediately recover during cyclic operation.

Objectives: Zirconia (ZrO) has been used in dental restorations due to its increased mechanical properties, biocompatibility, low degree of bacterial adhesion, and acceptable optical properties. One of the major drawbacks of ZrO is its short-term durable bond with resin cement. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different primers embedded with silanized nanographene oxide (SGO) sheets on the wettability of ZrO surface and bond strength durability between resin cement and ZrO.

Elastomers are omnipresent in everyday life and industry, yet the development of an elastomer with both superb stress and toughness presents a prodigious challenge. In this report, a high-strength, tough, and high-elastic elastomer derived from sp2 hybrid orbitals of phenylboronic acid was designed. The spatial conformation of network becomes significantly more compact due to the sp2 hybridization of boron.
