Zhang, R. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Lei, Jiaxin (author), Zhou, Xin (author), Yao, P. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Mangroves can function as a ‘bio-shield’ to protect coastal communities from harsh environments because of their strong ability to attenuate wave energy. However, as mangroves are usually oversimplified as rigid cylinders in antecedent studies, the effects of complex mangrove morphology on wave attenuation have not been well researched....journal article 2023

Li, Erlei (author), Shen, Haopeng (author), Wang, L. (author), Wang, Geoff (author), Zhou, Zongyan (author)The shape variation of the laser beam is evidently observed in the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process because of changes in laser incidence angle and misalignment between the build plate and the laser focus plane. This issue is particularly relevant in large-scale LPBF systems where the laser beam needs to scan a large build area. However...journal article 2023
