Image-Based Quantitative Mapping of Structure Property Relationships in Polymer Composite Materials
Abstract: The performance of polymer composite materials is intrinsically governed by their microstructural architecture, which is shaped by manufacturing conditions and constituent interactions. Despite extensive experimental characterization efforts, establishing transparent and quantitative structure–property relationships from microstructural images remains a challenge. In this study, an explainable image-driven framework is developed to systematically correlate microstructural features with composite property indicators. Microstructure images are processed to identify voids, fibers, and filler phases, from which …

Structure–Property Correlation of Infill Topology and Density on Tensile and Flexural Performance of FDM-Printed PLA and ABS
Abstract: Additive Manufacturing (AM), particularly Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has become a widely adopted manufacturing technology due to its design flexibility, low cost, and capability for rapid prototyping. However, the mechanical performance of FDM-printed components is strongly influenced by internal structural parameters such as infill pattern and infill density, in addition to the intrinsic material behaviour. This study investigates the structure–property relationship between infill topology, density, and mechanical performance of PLA …

The Awareness–Behaviour Paradox: Media Literacy and Social Media Risk Behaviour Among Nigerian Undergraduates
Abstract: Background: The proliferation of internet-capable devices and social media platforms has created an intricate web of risks for Nigerian undergraduates, including cyberbullying, addiction, misinformation, and exposure to indecent content. While media literacy has been widely proposed in Western scholarship as a sustainable intervention for responsible online behaviour, its protective mechanisms remain insufficiently understood in non-Western contexts, particularly with respect to the psychological pathways through which literacy operates.Objectives: This study examined …

Generative AI-Driven Design Optimization of Lightweight Polymer Composites for Electric Vehicles
Abstract: Lightweight polymer composites are increasingly important for electric vehicles, where mass reduction must be achieved without compromising structural performance, thermal stability, manufacturability, or material reliability. This study develops a generative AI-driven inverse-design framework for identifying experimentally credible lightweight polymer-composite configurations under coupled EV-oriented constraints. Public experimental polymer-composite datasets were integrated through leakage-controlled preprocessing and group-aware validation. A multi-task neural surrogate predicted mechanical response, while a conditional variational autoencoder explored feasible …

Efficacy of Strain Wedge Method Against Traditional p-y Method for Analysis of Piles Subjected to Different Load and Soil Condition: A Review
Abstract: Pile foundation plays a major role in design of structures as its lateral response dominates the design subjected to lateral loads. These loads acting on foundations may be sustained from traffic loading on a bridge pier or earth pressure in a retaining wall. As soil reaction and pile deflection affect each other for a lateral load, this becomes a very complex soil-structure interaction problem. There are many approaches or methods …

AI-Driven Inverse Design of Functionally Graded Bio-Nanocomposites for Sustainable High-Barrier Packaging
Abstract: Multilayer plastic packaging realizes high barrier performance through laminated heterogeneous structures, but the heterogeneous structure has severe end-of-life challenges caused by the interfacial incompatibility of materials and the poor recyclability. This study proposes the inverse design of functionally graded PLA-nanoclay composite films by reinforcement learning as a monolithic alternative to traditional multilayer systems. Twin-screw extrusion is designed as a continuous control Markov decision process, and proximal policy optimization (PPO) is …
