3D network structure NiFe2O4 was successfully synthesized by a templated salt precipitation method using PMMA colloid crystal as templates. The morphology, phase composition and microwave absorbing properties of as-prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vector network analyzer (VNA), and so on. The results revealed that the 3D network...

Lightweight is an important measure to the fuel efficiency and the cost reduction in development of contemporary vehicles. However, how the lightweight structure could affect the NVH performance or ride comfort of a vehicle needs to be carefully investigated. In this paper, the effect of a lightweight rear differential unit of a sport utility vehicle on ride comfort was studied. A multi-body dy...

The growing demand of security features in pervasive computing requires cryptographic implementations to meet tight cost constraints. Lightweight Cryptography is a generic term that captures new efforts in this area, covering lightweight cryptography proposals as well as lightweight implementation techniques. This paper demonstrates the influence of technology selection when comparing different...

Dynamic growth of photovoltaic capacity in Poland encourages many entities to invest systems. However, the case buildings with low roof-bearing it can be problematic or even impossible mount conventional PV modules due their relatively high weight. Hence, use lightweight is a potential solution. In this paper four different prototype silicon novel structure manufactured by Xdisc S.A have been i...

Periodic truss-lattice materials, especially when combined with current additive manufacturing techniques, are attracting attention in lightweight material engineering. As a member of the elementary cubic truss family, simple-cubic lattice possesses highest stiffness and strength along principal directions plays an important role load-bearing mechanical metamaterials. High anisotropic propertie...
