Torsional Strengthening of RC Beam using Ferrocement Jacketing
Abstract: Due to the type of loading on the structure, it is generally known that there are four structural actions: axial force, shear, bending, and torsion. The reinforced concrete beams are said to be subjected to torsion, when the point of application of lateral loads does not coincides with shear center of the beam. These loads may be due to loading pattern or connection of beam. Torsional failure is typically seen …

AI-Assisted Kinetic Modeling of PLA Hydrolysis Under Subcritical Water Conditions for Sustainable Polymer Recycling
Abstract: The accumulation of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) in terrestrial and marine ecosystems has intensified the demand for closed-loop, green recycling technologies. Subcritical water (SCW) hydrolysis offers a promising, catalyst-free pathway for the rapid depolymerization of PLA into its constituent monomer, lactic acid. However, the complex, highly non-linear kinetics governing macro-molecular degradation under variable hydrothermal conditions limit real-time process optimization and industrial scalability. This study develops a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted …

Role of Fatigue and Creep in Structural Damage: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Fatigue and creep are two critical degradation mechanisms that significantly influence the structural integrity and longevity of engineering materials. These phenomena arise due to different loading and environmental conditions but often coexist in various industrial applications, leading to severe material degradation over time. Fatigue primarily results from cyclic loading, where repeated stress variations induce microstructural damage and crack initiation, ultimately causing catastrophic failure. Conversely, creep occurs under sustained stress at …
