Experimental Study on Charging Conditions of a Single Component DDT Detonator Using Nickel Hydrazine Nitrate
Abstract: As a salt of a coordination compound of nickel, nickel hydrazine nitrate (NHN) is an energetic substance with characteristics halfway between those of primary and secondary explosives. It is less sensitive to friction and mechanical impact than other primary explosives, although it is highly sensitive to flames. NHN is not very dangerous to handle, but it explodes readily when exposed to flame. This property makes it possible to fabricate safety …

The Cosmology and Spiritism in Ikwerre Architecture
Abstract: The architecture of Ikwerre ethnic group is deeply influenced by cosmological and spiritual beliefs, creating a built environment that reflects the Ikwerre worldview and connection to the hidden. Architecture serves as a physical expression of a culture’s values and beliefs, while cosmology reflects the shared understanding or interpretation of the universe held by that culture. Fundamental to Ikwerre cosmology is the belief in a world shared by humans, ancestors, deities, …

Nonlinear Finite Element Approaches for Structural Failure Prediction: A Comparative Assessment with Case Studies
Abstract: Abstract Nonlinear finite element methods (NLFEM) have become indispensable for predicting structural failure in complex engineering systems, particularly where linear models fail to capture critical behaviors, such as large deformations, crack propagation, and post-buckling responses. This study investigates and compares several state-of-the-art NLFEM techniques – namely cohesive zone modeling (CZM), extended finite element method (XFEM), and phase-field fracture modelling – in the context of structural failure prediction. Three representative case …

Ensuring Long-Term Durability and Resilience in Concrete Structures
Abstract: Abstract Durable concrete refers to a type of concrete that can effectively resist weathering over a prolongedperiod, maintaining its structural integrity and functionality. Weathering actions include physical,chemical, and environmental factors, such as temperature variations, freeze-thaw cycles, moisture ingress, and exposure to aggressive chemicals. Concrete durability is critical for ensuring the long-term performance and safety of structures. Rainwater, when mixed with air, often contains dissolved gases and chemicals that can penetrate …
