With the promising applications in artificial intelligence systems and wearable health care devices, great efforts have been devoted to develop advanced pressure sensors. Graphene-based materials are promising pressure sensor materials due to the excellent electrical conductivity, outstanding mechanical properties and large surface area. This review summarizes the recent advances and progress in graphene and graphene-based pressure sensors. Perspectives and challenges in this exciting field are also highlighted and discussed.

In light of recent advances in the analysis of depth-sensing indentation data and of the importance of this technique in the study of the mechanical properties of thin films, a special discussion session was held in order to explore the state of the art and to provide an informal forum for discussion. This is a brief review of that discussion. The discussion was focused by the four main sources of deviation from model behavior described in the previous paper.

AbstractIn this paper we review the advances in understanding ofmicrostructural evolution during irradiation in pressure vessel steels. A particular focus is the benefits that arise from combining microstructural techniques on characterising the microstructure, especially the copper clusters. In addition to experimental techniques the importance of developing microstructurally based models linking the microstructural features to mechanical properties behaviour will be demonstrated. This paper will consider the recent advances in understanding in this area, and highlight the potential benefits that can be gained from a thorough understanding of the materials response to irradiation.

In this review, recent advances on the measurement and modeling of elastic properties of cortical and trabecular bone are presented. Bone is a multifunctional material which among its other functions serves as a support for other tissues in the body. As a structural material it is stiff, strong, tough, lightweight and is adaptable. Its excellent mechanical properties are due to its complex, composite and hierarchical structure. In this paper, we outline the experimental approaches that have been used to characterize bone?s structure, composition and elastic properties at several different length scales. Then, we discuss different modeling approaches that have been employed to compute bone?s elastic moduli. We conclude by discussing the challenges and open issues in this area. Analysis of bone is of importance in orthopedics. Also, gained knowledge on bone can be used by engineers to design new bioinspired composite materials for a wide range of engineering applications.
