A comparative finite element study of bioinspired porous hip implant stems optimized using nTopology-based lattice architectures

One major cause of implant loosening after total hip replacement is the mismatch in stiffness properties between the metallic prostheses and the cortical bones. This paper evaluates the structural effectiveness of four different bioinspired porous structures, specifically Honeyco...

Nano-enhanced PCM-assisted solar stills: A systematic review of performance, economics, and sustainability

Abstract Freshwater scarcity is an escalating global challenge, particularly in arid, remote, and off-grid regions where conventional desalination technologies remain energy-intensive and costly. Solar stills provide a simple and sustainable desalination option; however, their br...

Flexural strengthening of RC beams with NSM technique by vertical and inclined orientation of CFRP laminate

Abstract Retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with FRP materials addresses issues of structural deterioration, offering a robust alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. This study experimentally investigates the flexural strengthening of RC beams using near-surf...
