Seismic sensing devices, commonly called seismometers, have evolved from using the traditional pen and pendulum to the use of electronic and electromechanical sensors. Advances in the design of these sensors have resulted in instruments with varied operating frequency ranges, sensing mechani...
Large towers are often placed to take advantage of prevailing wind patterns. Occasionally, one might see an octagonal or circular tower for maximum efficiency regardless of wind direction, but the design and construction costs of these towers are greater than for standard rectangular towers, and ...

An overview is given on intermetallics with respect to the possibilities for the development of new structural materials for high-temperature applications. In the first main section the fundamentals of intermetallics are discussed, i.e. the type and strength of bonding and its correlation with materia...
Shutter structures are usually made of several strips of material arranged in parallel, where light intensity can be adjusted by changing the angle of the blades [94,95]. Based on this design, some researchers have chosen to integrate radiatively cooled and solar-heated materials into the blades...

Furthermore, the concept of a digital twin for the laser wire cladding system is introduced, aiming to provide interactive feedback among materials, design, process, and performance. This virtual reality system, which combines experimental measurements with numerical simulations, has the potential to ...
Hydrogen, as a clean energy carrier, is of great potential to be an alternative fuel in the future. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is ha
