Automated and Explainable Machine Learning Framework for Predicting the Fracture Toughness of Fiber-Reinforced Ultra-High-Performance Concrete Subjected to Freeze–Thaw Damage

The extended longevity of fiber-reinforced ultra-high-performance concrete (FR-UHPC) in frigid regions remains incompletely comprehended, especially concerning the deterioration of mode-I fracture toughness (KIC) due to repeated freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs). While prior investigatio...

Application of artificial neural networks for prediction modeling and analysis of the thermophysical properties of Fe₃O₄/water ferrofluid using experimental measurement

Abstract The use of nanofluids has attracted significant attention due to their improved thermal performance compared with conventional heat transfer fluids. Because nanoparticles are on the nanometer scale, problems such as channel blockage and severe abrasion can be reduced. Am...

Conducting Polymers: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications – a Review

The 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Alan J. Heeger, Alan G. MacDiarmid, and Hideki Shirakawa for the discovery and development of conductive polymers, particularly polyacetylene. Since then, research on conducting polymers has progressed rapidly, with sustained focus...
