Numerical and Experimental Analysis of Stretch Flanging of AISI 304 Stainless Steel Sheet with Complex Geometry: FEM Validation via CMM

This study validates a finite element model of stretch flanging for a complex AISI 304 stainless steel component against CMM measurements, revealing that while the isotropic simulation generally achieves high accuracy, discrepancies in critical edge positions are primarily driven by friction sensitivity rather than material anisotropy.

QoS-Aware Disjoint Multipath Video Streamingfor Healthcare IoT

This paper addresses the challenge of QoS-aware medical video streaming in battery-powered Healthcare IoT networks by proposing HQ-DMVS, a polynomial-time heuristic algorithm that jointly optimizes source admission, node-disjoint multipath routing, and rate control to achieve near-optimal utility, significantly reduced delay, and extended network lifetime compared to existing methods.

RILEM TC 275-HDB: interlaboratory assessment of thermal conductivity measurements in hemp concrete

This paper presents a round-robin test by 12 laboratories revealing that thermal conductivity measurements of hemp concrete exhibit significant variability due to moisture sensitivity and methodological differences, leading to the conclusion that current values should be treated as indicative rather than absolute and necessitating improved standardized protocols.

Effect of Carbon Black and Aluminum Additives on Combustion Instability in Paraffin/GOX Hybrid Rockets: Experiments and a Classification Framework

This paper presents an experimental and analytical framework demonstrating that while carbon black, micron-aluminum, and nano-aluminum additives yield equivalent fuel regression rates in paraffin/GOX hybrid rockets, they induce fundamentally distinct combustion instability signatures, which are effectively categorized using a data-driven ensemble classifier.
