Impact of Fracture in Geometrical, Material, and Load Rate Characteristics on J-Integral
Abstract: The present study investigates the influence of load rate, geometrical parameters, and material properties on the J-integral behavior of AA2050-T84 aluminum-lithium alloy using three-dimensional elastic–plastic fracture mechanics (EPFM) analysis. Finite element simulations were carried out using the ABAQUS software to evaluate crack driving forces in compact tension (C(T)) specimens under various mechanical and thermal conditions. The study focuses on the combined effects of strain rate, temperature-dependent strain hardening, specimen thickness …

Passive Digital Phenotyping for Longitudinal Burnout and Occupational Mental Health Surveillance: A Transformer-Based Explainable Deep Learning Approach Using Smartphone Behavioral Streams
Abstract: Occupational burnout constitutes a pervasive yet chronically under-surveilled public health threat, its insidious temporal evolution rendering episodic self-report instruments structurally inadequate for early detection. This paper introduces BurnoutSense, a passive digital phenotyping framework that continuously harvests eight heterogeneous smartphone behavioral data streams encompassing application usage ecology, communication metadata, geospatial mobility, screen interaction dynamics, inferred sleep rhythmicity, keystroke kinematics, ambient noise exposure, and battery/charging cadence to construct individualized multivariate behavioral signatures …

Additive Manufacturing of Polymer-Based Advanced Composites: Mechanical Properties and Performance Evaluation
Abstract: Fabrication of large-scale and geometrically complex polymer-based advanced composites via fused deposition modelling (FDM) has been shown to be a promising technology for the production of such materials, however there are challenges in using short carbon fibre-reinforced polylactic acid (CF-PLA) which include obtaining high mechanical performance and maintaining dimensional accuracy with dynamic robot motion and complex interactions occurring between process parameters. The conventional approaches are mostly static feed rates or …
