Cracks in cement concrete composites, whether autogenous or loading-initiated, are almost
inevitable and often difficult to detect and repair, posing a threat to safety and durability of …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have unique characteristics, such as the shape memory effect,
which allows them to recover their initial shape after being deformed when stimulated, and …

This paper presents the initial results of a two-phase research project for developing re-
centring self-sensing cementitious composites. The focus here is on fresh, mechanical, and …

Although laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) can produce complex structures with promising
properties, there still exists a concern on the diversity in materials, especially composites, for …

Traditional cement-based materials are brittle materials with poor toughness and easy
cracking characteristics. The formation of cracks due to drying shrinkage and external load …

Super absorbent polymers, which allow better moisture retention within cracks for extended
periods, can be beneficial in facilitating the autogenous self-healing process of concrete …

This study investigates the long-term properties of green mortar, including mechanical
properties and freeze-thaw resistance. Within the green mortar mixtures, the recycled …

This work enabled better understanding of crimped fiber's pullout behavior and investigated
the cross-sectional and longitudinal stress distribution, including embedded portions and …

This paper presents a systematic experimental study on the effect of shape memory alloy
(SMA) fibres (0.25–1% by volume) on microstructure and engineering properties, in …

This research explores discrete element method analysis to investigate the wear of NiTi
Sand Screens in comparison to traditional materials. The study utilized Altair EDEM v2022. 2 …
