Eivani, A.R. (author), Mehdizade, M. (author), Chabok, S. (author), Zhou, J. (author)Magnesium alloys have many unique properties, mostly benefitting from the low density of magnesium. However, they are not competitive, when compared with other lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloys, particularly in ductility and corrosion resistance. There is a strong need to improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance...journal article 2021

Meng, Xin (author), Zhou, Y. (author), Sun, Zhilin (author), Ding, Kaixuan (author), Chong, Lin (author)Flow resistance, velocity distribution, and turbulence intensity are significantly influenced by aquatic vegetations (AV) in riparian zones. Understanding the hydraulics of flow with planted floodplains is of great significance for determining the velocity distribution profile and supporting the fluvial processes management. However, the...journal article 2021

(author)The mechanical properties of a magnesium alloy strongly depend on its grain structure. It is desirable to minimize grain growth during the post-forming annealing treatment, thereby minimizing the loss in strength while regaining ductility. In the present research, the annealing of the hot-rolled AZ61 Mg alloy at different temperatures for...journal article 2021
