Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We now stand almost one year after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic with the will to continue our pursuit of the physical law in science and of innovation in engineering. This Special Issue focuses on the recent advances in applied physics. and aims to collect high-quality systematic reviews in this field.

All applications of physics aiming to solve practical problems are included. All articles that employ physics or present physics research focused on (i) developing new methods and/or technologies or (ii) solving engineering problems are welcome.

The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, astrophysics, atmosphere, biophysics, cardiology, complex systems, disaster mitigation, earthquakes, geophysics, lasers, materials, medicine, optics, photonics, plasmas, reliability, safety, security, semiconductors, and spectroscopy. 

We hope all published papers will be widely read, highly influential and promote the most recent advances in the field.

The use of friction-based beam-to-column connections (BCCs) for earthquake-resistant moment-resistant frames (MRFs), aimed at eliminating damage to beam end sections due to the development of plastic hinges, has been prevalent since the early 1980s. Different technical solutions have been proposed for steel structures, and some have been designed for timber structures, while a few recent studies concern friction joints employed in reinforced concrete structures. Research aimed at characterizing the behavior of joints has focused on the evaluation of the tribological properties of the friction materials, coefficient of friction, shape and stability of the hysteresis cycles, influence of the temperature, speed of load application, effects of the application method, stability of preload, the influence of seismic excitation characteristics on the structural response, statistical characterization of amplitude, and frequency of the slip excursion during seismic excitation. Studies aimed at identifying the design parameters capable of optimizing performance have focused attention mainly on the slip threshold, device stiffness, and deformation capacity. This review compiles the main and most recent solutions developed for MRFs. Furthermore, the pros and cons for each solution are highlighted, focusing on the dissipative capacity, shape, and stability of hysteresis loops. In addition, the common issues affecting all friction connections, namely the characteristics of friction shims and the role of bolt preload, are discussed. Based on the above considerations, guidelines can be outlined that can be used to help to choose the most appropriate solutions for BCCs for MRFs. Full article

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are a key component of the future energy landscape. Although there is considerable research on the physical properties and technology of classic oxide materials for electrode and electrolytes in SOFCs, the field is very active as new experimental and theoretical techniques are now available that can improve these systems. In the present review, we consider key systems such as perovskite-related materials, the impact of strain and interfaces and advanced concepts that can improve the properties of SOFC materials. In particular, we consider the oxygen diffusion properties of perovskite-related materials and focus on La2NiO4+δ and the double perovskites such as GdBaCo2O5.5. Then, we review the importance of interfaces and strain as a way to engineer defect processes. Finally, we consider advanced concepts to form designed structures that explore the effect of local high entropy on lattice stabilization. Full article
