Small punch testing and scanning electron microscopy analysis of damage evolution in dual-phase steel Asim Alsharif, Syed Quadir Moinuddin, Christophe Pinna Scientific Reports, 2026 Dual-phase (DP) steels are widely used in the automotive industry due to their excellent balance of strength and ductility. Enhancing their formability and crash performance requires a deeper understanding of microstructural deformation and damage mechanisms. This study presents an in-depth micromechanical investigation of damage initiation and propagation in DP1000 steel using a novel small-punch (SP) test setup combined with three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D DIC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The test was strategically interrupted at multiple stages to capture the evolution of cracking. Initial cracks appeared at a punch displacement of approximately 1.12 mm, while the final stages revealed microstructural crack propagation resulting from deformation localized near the ferrite (F) – martensite (M) interface, leading to cracking of adjacent M islands or void growth within the F. 3D DIC measurements revealed maximum principal surface strains up to 23% before cracking. SEM analysis confirmed that the dominant through-thickness crack initiated at the punch sample interface and propagated toward the upper surface, aligning with surface strain localizations. M cracking was limited to the early stages, while subsequent damage growth was F-dominated. This integrated experimental approach offers new insights into the phase-specific damage behaviour and supports the development of predictive models for the formability and failure of advanced high-strength steels.
AZ91 Magnesium–alumina composites drilling with sustainable coolants: Surface roughness and axial thrust force using neural-guided genetic algorithms Syed Quadir Moinuddin, P. Hariharasakthisudhan, K. Logesh, K. Sathickbasha, Mohammad Faseeulla Khan, Hussain Altammar Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2026 AZ91 Magnesium (Mg) alloy reinforced with Alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) foam has attracted attention for lightweight structural and biomedical applications due to its high specific strength and corrosion adaptability. However, the drilling behavior of Mg systems containing porous ceramic reinforcements remains insufficiently characterized, particularly under sustainable cooling environments. The present study investigates axial thrust force and surface roughness during drilling of AZ91–Al 2 O 3 foam composites using a Taguchi L18 experimental design under vegetable oil, coconut oil, and liquid nitrogen cooling conditions. Experimental results indicate that axial thrust force varied from 104.3 N to 249 N across the investigated parameter space, while surface roughness ranged from 1.3 μm to 2.7 μm. Lower feed rates (0.2 mm/rev) and higher cutting speeds (≈180 m/min) were observed to reduce thrust force and improve surface integrity. A feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) model achieved coefficients of determination of 0.98 for thrust force and 0.97 for surface roughness prediction, indicating strong nonlinear mapping capability within the defined experimental window. Multi-objective optimization using Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) identified an optimal parameter combination of 180 m/min cutting speed, 0.2 mm/rev feed rate, high-speed steel tool, and coconut oil coolant. Confirmation testing yielded 109.2 N axial thrust force and 1.28 μm surface roughness, with deviations of 3.2% and 1.7%, respectively, from predicted values. The proposed ANN–NSGA-II framework establishes a quantified and interpretable optimization strategy for sustainable drilling of reinforced Mg composites, enabling balanced reduction of mechanical load and surface irregularity under bio-lubricated conditions.
Tribological behavior of Sr and Yb modified AZ91 magnesium alloy using machine learning prediction and multi-objective optimization for biomedical applications Syed Quadir Moinuddin, Hariharasakthisudhan Ponnarengan, Jitendra Kumar Katiyar, Sathickbasha K, Mohammad Faseeulla Khan, Akbar Niaz Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2026 Magnesium (Mg) alloys are attractive biodegradable implant materials, but inadequate wear resistance and tribological instability in physiological environments remain major limitations. To address this challenge, this study investigates the effect of dual Sr–Yb modification on the tribological performance and surface stability of AZ91 Mg alloy. Specifically, the wear, friction, and surface degradation behavior of the Sr–Yb–modified AZ91 alloy were evaluated under simulated physiological conditions representative of implant-relevant biomechanical and biochemical environments. The alloy was synthesized via ultrasonic-assisted stir casting to ensure homogeneous dispersion and grain refinement. A D-optimal experimental design involving six factors, normal load (N), sliding speed (m/s), sliding distance (m), simulated body fluid (SBF), soaking time (hrs), and temperature (°C), was employed to evaluate the tribological response systematically. A stacked ensemble learning model was developed to predict specific wear rate (SWR), average coefficient of friction (COF), and surface roughness (R a ), achieving high R 2 values (>0.89). Multi-objective optimization using a surrogate-assisted Tree-Seed Algorithm (MOTSA) identified near-optimal process conditions yielding SWR ≈ 0.11991 mm 3 /N-m, COF ≈ 0.344, and Ra ≈0.185 μm. Experimental validation showed deviations within 5% of predicted values. Time-resolved COF analysis revealed transitional friction behavior, while post-wear profilometry and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) imaging identified hybrid wear mechanisms, including delamination, oxidative smearing, and debris-induced microcracking. The integrated experimental-modeling framework demonstrates the potential of Sr and Yb-modified AZ91 alloy as a bio-tribological material, offering high wear resistance, stable frictional performance, and structural integrity under simulated body conditions.
NSGA-II-Based Multi-Objective Optimization of Fused Filament Fabrication Process Parameters for TPU Parts with Chemical Smoothing Lokeshwaran Srinivasan, Lalitha Radhakrishnan, Ezhilmaran Veeranan, Faseeulla Khan Mohammad, Syed Quadir Moinuddin, Hussain Altammar Polymers, 2026 In this study, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) parts were fabricated using fused filament fabrication (FFF) by varying key process parameters, namely extruder temperature (210–230 °C), layer thickness (200–400 µm), and printing speed (30–50 mm/s). A Box–Behnken experimental design was used to systematically evaluate the combined influence of these parameters on surface roughness (Ra), dimensional deviation (DD), and ultimate tensile strength (UTS). After fabrication, all specimens were subjected to a Tetrahydrofuran (THF)-based chemical smoothing process to modify surface characteristics. Surface roughness measurements showed a substantial reduction after chemical smoothing, with values decreasing from an initial range of 13.17 ± 0.21–15.87 ± 0.23 µm to 4.01 ± 0.18–7.35 ± 0.16 µm, corresponding to an average decrease of approximately 50–72%. Dimensional deviation improved moderately, from 260–420 µm in the as-printed condition to 160–310 µm after post-processing, representing a reduction of about 20–38%. Mechanical testing revealed a consistent increase in UTS following chemical smoothing, with values improving from 30.24–40.30 ± 0.52 MPa to 33.97–47.94 ± 0.36 MPa, yielding an average increase of approximately 10–24%. Then, the experimental data were used for multi-objective optimization of the FFF process parameters, using a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) implemented in Python 3.11, to identify best parameter combinations that provide a balanced surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical performance.
State estimator and convolutional neural networks-based fault localization approach for modern grids Jameel Ahmed Bhutto, Sohaib Tahir Chauhdary, Saad Arif, Akbar Niaz, Khaled Alnamasi, Syed Quadir Moinuddin, Shrooq Alsenan, Muhammad Attique Khan Scientific Reports, 2026 Direct current distribution networks get more attention due to the high penetration of renewable energy-based distributed generation. However, these networks face protection challenges like detecting, classifying, and localizing faults. This manuscript proposes a two-stage approach for identifying and isolating faults within these critical networks. The first stage uses a cubature Kalman filter to estimate the state of the measured current and voltage signals at the faulty bus. These estimated signals represent various fault scenarios and serve as convolutional neural network training data. Then, a total harmonic distortion index was computed from the estimated fault current for fault detection. Moreover, the direction of this reactive power is then utilized to classify the fault type and locate faulty sections in these networks. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves fault detection under five milliseconds, exhibits 98% accuracy, and requires reasonable computational resources.

Recent advancements in AM have concentrated on refining processing settings, designing feedstock, and improving post‐processing procedures to enhance structural integrity and functional characteristics. This review primarily focuses on direct metal AM techniques, with emphasis on Fe‐based soft magnetic alloys and selected permanent magnet systems, particularly in electrical and electromagnetic applications. In addition to highlighting the ability of AM to alter the manufacturing of magnetic components while simultaneously addressing existing limitations, emerging trends, and potential research areas are also emphasized.
