    A General Review on the Thiospinels and Their Energy Applications
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-09-01) Özel, F.; Kılıç, H. S.; Coşkun, H.; Deveci, I.; Sarılmaz, A.; Balıkçıoğlu, A.; Ersöz, M.; Kuş, Mahmut
    Material science is one of the decisive tools toward engineering versatile compounds for numerous technological applications. Over the last decades, thiospinels have been attracting great interest because of their unique characteristics and potential utilizations offering innovative and interesting features. The characteristics of these transition metal sulfides play a key role in many different applications and make thiospinels an essential class of material. To the best of our knowledge, this work, for the first time, summarizes broadband studies on thiospinels reported in the literature. The scope of this review covers all synthesis methods applied over, the chemical and physical properties, and the clean energy applications of thiospinels, which have achieved tremendous significance. It underlined and proposed the challenges and future perspectives based on sulfur-based ternary compounds. Moreover, this review draws attention to the current and future research needs of thiospinel materials to improve and broaden their applications and thus commercialization. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

    A Topological Approach to Crack Path Detection and Crack Opening Displacement Calculation in Phase-Field Models of Fracture
    (Elsevier B.V., 2026-08-01) Babaoğlu, Muhittin; Göktepe, Serdar; Kaynar, Ozan Özgür
    As opposed to discrete approaches, the crack topology is approximated in a smeared manner in phase-field fracture models (PFMs) through a continuous order variable. Although this allows for avoiding the additional intricate algorithms for tracking and controlling the crack initiation, propagation, and branching in complex fracture problems, the diffusive nature of crack in PFMs hinders the determination of the exact crack path and the estimation of the crack opening displacement (COD). The latter plays a central role in many practical engineering problems such as the modeling of fluid flow in hydraulic fracture, the heat conduction and advection in thermal cracking, and the phase-field modeling of cohesive fracture. Therefore, this contribution deals with the development of an efficient and robust computational tool for calculating COD. To this end, we consider a progressively propagating crack whose backbone is represented by multiple segments, each of which is fitted by a cubic spline. The set of points belonging to a segment is then decomposed into two sets, separated by the spline. The components of the displacement vectors normal to the spline are fitted by two planes separately for the two sets. The COD is then obtained by subtracting these two planes from one another. The originality of the proposed crack reconstruction method lies in the novel calculation of COD by displacement-fitted planes based on explicitly determined crack path within the PFM. The excellent performance of the proposed tool is demonstrated through representative numerical examples with basic to complex crack profiles.
