Aluminium alloys are cost-effective and lightweight materials that are widely used in the transport industry, where cost and weight are key considerations for material selection. Operating at elevated temperatures (T ≥ 0.5Tm, where Tm is the absolute melting temperature of Al) is known&...

The synergistic interaction between freeze–thaw cycles and sulfate attack induces a more severe and complex deterioration mechanism in concrete than either factor in isolation. This review elucidates this process by first examining the individual damage mechanisms and then integrating current res...

This paper presents a numerical analysis of CO₂ injection well integrity, focusing on degradation of cement sheath bonds with the casing and caprock. The cement sheath and caprock are modelled as thermo-poroelastic materials subject to coupled thermal, hydraulic, and mechanical behaviour. De...

Foldable electronics with high thermal stability, flexibility and stretchability enable emerging applications such as soft robotics, electronic skins, human–machine interfaces, and foldable displays. This study presents a detailed thermo-mechanical characterization and modeling of Beyolex™, a recently developed ...

We present a framework for assessing the risks to sustainability posed by any given set of processes. The objective is to improve sustainability by enabling better decision‐making in policy and business contexts. The framework can be applied to any system of processes where availab...

We analyze the extent to which the prospects for economic development may relate to the environmental damages associated with economic activities. We consider an economic growth framework in which production activities generate polluting emissions which in turn negatively affect production capabi...

Recent global initiatives, such as the Global Plastics Treaty, underscore the urgency for a systems-based approach to address the risks associated with plastic pollution. However, the implementation of such initiatives has often faltered due to a lack of clarity surrounding what constitutes&...
