The shrinkage characteristic of porous materials is an important consideration in the drying
process, as it can significantly impact the texture of the dried product and energy utilization …

A wide variety of abundant plant leaves exist in nature, and the wettability of their surfaces is
formed to adapt to diverse external environments. In this paper we will focus on the factors …

Copper-matrix composites reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particles are heat sink
materials with potential application in the electronic industry. A major challenge in the …

This paper predicted thermal responses of plain-woven composites with interfacial and
internal defects based on the multi-scale simulation. The effective and localized responses …

Micromechanics investigations of composites with fiber-shaped reinforcement are
extensively applied in the engineering design and theoretical analysis of thermal …

A diffuse interface-lattice Boltzmann model is proposed for modeling conjugate heat transfer
problems with imperfect interfaces. According to the continuity condition of heat flux and …

In this paper, the influence of the surface effect on wave propagation characteristics in
functionally graded metal foam plates (FGMFPs) with nanopores is studied, where different …

The demand for lightweight heat dissipation design in highly miniaturized and portable
electronic devices with high thermal density is becoming increasingly urgent. Herein, highly …

Multi-walled carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) fillers are extensively used to improve the
thermomechanical properties of polymers. In this study, five different weight fractions (0 …

Homogenization analysis is widely used to derive effective macroscopic properties of
