Summary: In this study, porous graphene oxide was used as a nanoscale reinforcement to improve the interfacial adhesion in composites, resulting in significantly higher interfacial shear strength compared to untreated fiber and GO/fiber reinforcement. The enhancement was attributed to rich interfacial interactions and improved surface energy through the synergistic effects of polyethylenimine, as well as the formation of a rigid-soft transition zone for stress dissipation. The advantages of porous graphene oxide suggest potential for further advancements in composite materials by carefully designing its properties.

Summary: Changes in the freezing interface during the freezing process were studied to explain the ice-adhesion mechanism. Experimental results showed that the interface strain had the same formation and variation law despite the volume of water and ambient temperature. The freezing interface strain gradually increased with lower ambient temperatures or an increase in the volume of water. This study laid a theoretical foundation for developing process-intervention anti/de-icing technology.

Summary: This study designed bionic suction cups with different numbers, diameters, and spacings of ring grooves for adsorption force evaluation on oil-immersed substrates. The results showed that the ring grooves positively affected the adsorption force, and the bionic suction cup with 3 grooves, a diameter of 0.5mm, and a spacing of 3mm performed the best. Compared with the standard suction cup, its adsorption force increased by 32.31% and 12.28% on untreated and polished steel plates respectively. The finite element analysis revealed that the ring grooves significantly increased contact pressure, frictional stress, and sliding distance to improve adsorption force. This study can serve as a reference for developing actuator of oil-immersed or lubricated climbing machines.

A fatigue life model is proposed to predict the S-N curves of the laminates based on energy dissipation approach. The energy dissipation behavior of the laminates under different experimental conditions is analyzed through post-impact fatigue tests, and the correlation between impact damage and fatigue dissipation energy is determined. The validity of the proposed model is verified through fatigue tests under different stress ratios and impact energy levels.
