A Hybrid Binary–Ternary Encoding Strategy for High-Capacity and Robust Phase Unwrapping in Fringe Projection Profilometry

This paper proposes a robust, high-capacity phase unwrapping method for fringe projection profilometry that combines a hybrid binary–ternary Gray code with dynamic threshold segmentation and a phase-consistency pre-correction algorithm to enable accurate 3D reconstruction of complex surfaces using only six projected patterns while eliminating the need for additional calibration images.

Effect of welding time on joint formation, microstructural evolution, and mechanical properties of resistance-upset-welded 316L stainless steel fuel-rod joints

This study demonstrates that for resistance-upset-welded 316L stainless steel fuel-rod joints, a welding time of 21 ms yields optimal mechanical performance and microstructural refinement by balancing effective bonding and grain recrystallization, whereas shorter or longer durations result in incomplete joining or performance degradation.

Thermo‑mechanical coupling effects on high‑velocity impact damage of CFRP laminates: Experiment and temperature‑dependent dynamic constitutive modeling

This study investigates the degradation of CFRP laminate impact resistance at elevated temperatures through high-velocity gas gun experiments and validates a novel temperature-dependent dynamic constitutive model implemented in ABAQUS/Explicit, which accurately predicts damage morphology and failure modes under varying thermal and impact conditions.

Learning Nonlinear Reduced-Order Models of Fluid Flows with InfoVAE

This paper proposes an efficient reduced-order modeling framework for chaotic fluid flows by combining an Information Maximizing Variational Autoencoder (InfoVAE) with an Easy-Attention-based Transformer to overcome conventional autoencoder limitations, yielding interpretable, disentangled latent representations that align with dominant Proper Orthogonal Decomposition modes.
