Quan, D. (author), Wang, Guilong (author), Zhao, Guoqun (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author)The exceptional mechanical properties of Polyether-ether-ketone(PEEK) polymers make them ideal candidates for interlayer toughening of carbon fibre/epoxy composites. Herein, ultra-thin PEEK films with a thickness of 8μm, 18μm and 25μm were used for interlayer toughening of an aerospace-grade carbon fibre/epoxy composite. The mode-I and mode...journal article 2023

Zhao, Jiale (author), Yang, Fu Qiang (author), Guo, Yong (author), Ren, X. (author)As the shallow mineral resources are nearly depleted, the mining of deep resources has become an urgent problem to be studied. The increase in mine depth can lead to the increase of mine heat hazard, which is a critical concern for mining safety/occupational health and safety. However, there are limited review articles available regarding the...review 2023

The image reconstruction of ultrasound computed tomography is computationally expensive with conventional iterative methods. The fully learned direct deep learning reconstruction is promising to speed up image reconstruction significantly. However, for direct reconstruction from measurement data, due to the lack of real labeled...journal article 2023

Huang, Man (author), Su, Dongchao (author), Zhao, Zhirui (author), Wu, Lianghong (author), Fang, B. (author), Ning, Fulong (author)The trial production of natural gas hydrate reservoirs remains poor. Reasonable reservoir reconstruction, which can improve formation permeability, is an important approach to increasing the efficiency and enhancing production. In this work, water jet slotting is proposed to reconstruct an natural gas hydrate reservoir near a wellbore. The...journal article 2023
