The strategic development of reverse logistics networks is crucial for addressing the common challenge of low recovery rates for end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) in China. To minimize the total cost of the reverse logistics network for ELVs, this paper proposes a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model. The model considers the recycling volume of different vehicle types, facility processing capacity, and the proportions of parts and materials. Building on this foundation, a fuzzy mixed-integer nonlinear programming (FMINLP) model is developed to account for the inherent uncertainty associated with recycling volumes and facility processing capacities. The model was solved using Lingo, and its effectiveness was validated using Jiangsu Province of China as a case study, followed by a sensitivity analysis. The results indicate that dismantling and machining centers incur the highest processing costs. Variations in recycling volume and facility handling capacity significantly impact total costs and site selection, with the former having a more pronounced effect. Increasing facility processing capacity effectively increases the recovery rate. Moreover, a higher confidence level corresponds to higher total costs and a greater demand for facilities.

A new type of specimen is proposed for further research on the structure of glass-fiber-reinforced resin matrix composite lamina, which holds the potential to significantly improve the fatigue property of materials while having limited effect on the tensile strength. Herein, the fatigue life, based on the monotonic tensile test, was simulated utilizing ANSYS and nCode analysis software. The results show that the tensile strength of the local notched fiber specimens is slightly lower than that of the continuous long-fiber specimens. However, when extending the notches’ longitudinal distance, the impact to tensile strength becomes smaller and smaller. The results show that, when the longitudinal distance of the notched fiber is greater than 80 mm, the reduction in tensile strength is less than 0.65%. At the same time, the fatigue property of the specimens is improved considerably. It has been found in this experiment that when the notches’ longitudinal distance is 100 mm, the notches’ length is 1.5 mm, and the notches’ width is 1.75 mm, the fatigue cycles number of the specimens reaches 126,000 cycles, which is about 180% higher than that of the 0-0 type long fiber specimens without notches. This investigation provides a robust foundation and is a compelling basis for further exploration of new fatigue specimens.

A novel terbium-tetracarboxylate framework with the 5,5’-(diazene-1,2-iyl)diisophthalic acid (H4abtc) ligand, formulated as [Tb(Habtc)(DMSO)(H2O)2]n (ZTU-5), has been synthesized and structurally characterized. ZTU-5 features a 2D-layered structure constructed by the binuclear terbium secondary building units (SBUs) and abtc4− ligand, which can be further expanded into a 3D-supramolecular framework by the hydrogen bond interactions. In addition, the magnetic and fluorescence properties of ZTU-5 are investigated and ZTU-5 exhibits highly selective and sensitive detection of nitrofurazone (NZF).
