This study introduces FeZr-MOF/Graphene Oxide (GO) composite membranes as an innovative application of inorganic membrane technology for advanced separation and purification. These membranes were engineered to efficiently remove industrial dyes such as Congo red and methylene blue from aqueous solutions by leveraging the high surface area, chemical stability, and selective adsorption capabilities of FeZr-Metal-Organic Framework (FeZr-MOF). Based on laboratory evaluations, the composite membranes exhibited strong adsorption performance, achieving 87.5 mg/g capacities for Congo red and 80.2 mg/g for methylene blue. Integrating GO into the membrane matrix enhanced hydrophilicity, water permeability, and anti-fouling behavior, as evidenced by over 90 % permeability recovery after multiple cleaning cycles. This research reflects the latest advancements in inorganic membrane technology and bridge material innovation with industrial water purification needs. Machine Learning (ML), implemented via the Random Forest (RF) algorithm, was used to predict the impact of key operational parameters—pH, dye concentration, and contact time—on removal performance, and the model's predictions aligned closely with experimental trends. These findings, supported by experimental data and predictive modeling, highlight the potential of FeZr-MOF/GO membranes as a scalable and robust material for sustainable water purification applications.

In the present study, the thermal stability of graphene-reinforced composite laminates (GPL-RC) with diverse functional gradients and width delamination layers is examined. In this regard, various models of laminated GPL-RC are considered with different geometrical and material parameters. Utilizing the physics-informed neural networks (PINN), we calculate the energy release rate (ERR) at the cleavage boundary, aiming to gauge cleavage growth potential. This study also delves effects of various graphene reinforcement distributions and delamination configurations on the vibrational attributes of delaminated GPL-RC sheets, with an emphasis on pre/post heat bending modalities. Solutions are grounded in the third-order shear strain theory (TSDT), integrating von Karman geometric nonlinearity. Using the principle of minimal potential energy, the nonlinear equilibrium equations are tackled using PINN. Theoretical insights obtained are verified via a comparison to other published studies. Notably, parametric experiments indicate that the ERR in the FGX configuration in which most reinforcement material located adjacent to the upper and lower surfaces of the plate, is double that of the FGA, in which most reinforcement material adjacent to the lower surface of the plate. Moreover, while the FGX sheet's fundamental frequency surpasses other graphene configurations at the primary temperature, its natural frequency in the post-buckling modality is notably the least compared to the entire sample set.

A parametric study on the impact of graphene origami content on the deformation and strain results of a double curved shell is presented. The formulation is extended using the shear deformability property of the kinematic model and the constitutive relations are extended using the overall material properties for the nanofolded composite structures in the thermal environment. The analytical-based method is developed using the energy-based framework for derivation of the governing equations of a nanocomposite double curved shell. The analytical results are extracted using the trigonometric functions in order to satisfy the required boundary conditions.

This paper investigates the application of a novel foldable material in the sandwich plate subjected to multi-field loading. The analytical formulation is derived using the virtual work principle. The stretchable kinematic modeling is extended in order to arrive at more accurate results and modeling. The constitutive relations of the sandwich-reinforced core are derived using the overall and effective material properties of graphene origami-reinforced core using the Halpin-Tsai micromechanical model. The analytical solution is obtained in order to present the parametric results in terms of characteristics of the 3D nanofillers and multi-field loading parameters.

Poroelastic materials have gained prominence due to their beneficial characteristics, prompting the authors to investigate their behavior in wave propagation. Additionally, the balance beam used in gymnastics is a classic example of a beam structure. It is designed to support the weight of the gymnast while providing stability and strength. This paper focuses on analyzing wave dispersion behavior in a hygrothermally excited poroelastic gymnastics beam. It is considered that the beam is made of a composition of Alumina and Aluminum as ceramic and metallic phases, respectively. Initially, the basic characteristics are determined using an improved power-law homogenization scheme. Subsequently, a poroelastic beam is modeled based on a refined higher-order shear deformation theory, and based on it and Hamilton’s principle, the kinetic relations are obtained. The obtained governing equations are then solved through analytical schemes using harmonic functions, and the outcomes are presented. These results are afterward verified through comprehensive comparisons with existing literature. Furthermore, this paper findings shows that the phase velocity and wave frequency of the beam are influenced by gradient parameters, porosity, and environmental factors like temperature and humidity to gain further insights.

Enhanced concrete construction through carbon incorporation in nanotechnology-enabled cementitious materials can be achieved using biochar. Biochar is a carbon additive, improving concrete’s mechanical strength and durability while reducing porosity and enhancing sustainability. The objective is to leverage the unique properties of biochar, derived from carbon nanotechnology, to improve mechanical strength durability, and reduce porosity in concrete. By integrating biochar, this research aims to develop a more resilient and environmentally friendly construction material, addressing performance and sustainability challenges in modern concrete construction. However, a significant research gap exists in understanding biochar’s long-term effects and optimal concentrations in cementitious matrices. This study seeks to fill this gap by systematically investigating the performance enhancements and material properties imparted by biochar in various concrete formulations. The study demonstrated that incorporating carbon-rich biochar into concrete significantly enhances its structural performance and sustainability. The life-cycle assessment (LCA) of biochar-incorporated concrete reveals significant environmental benefits, highlighting its potential for sustainable construction practices. Integrating biochar into concrete enhances the material’s durability and longevity, reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements, thus conserving resources.

This article investigates effect of a higher order kinematic modeling on the elasto-static bending results of a shell in double curved form. The graphene origami is introduced in this article as a novel nanofiller with some chemical process to arrive at a controllable material. A copper matrix is used as main constituent reinforced with folded graphene origami. The virtual work principle is used to derive governing equations of the thickness-stretchable shell. After derivation of the governing equations and to arrive at the solution, a class of formulas is used from valid sources for effective material properties of the shell. A verification test is presented before exploring the effect of all main affecting parameters of the graphene origami and ambient on the bending results. The results of this work may be used in the analysis of structures with controllable responses.
