Structural and morphological study of mechanochemically synthesized crystalline nanoneedles of Zr-doped carbonated chlorapatite
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Nanosize Zr-doped carbonated chlorapatite (n-ZCCA) was developed as a novel bioceramic by a ball milling process. Results showed that the microstructural characteristics of the product were affected significantly by the ...
Effect of microstructural evolution on wettability and tribological behavior of TiO2 nanotubular arrays coated on Ti–6Al–4V
(
Elsevier Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Self-organized TiO2 nanotubular arrays were fabricated by electrochemical anodization of Ti–6Al–4V plates in an NH4F/H3PO4 electrolyte. The effect of microstructural evolutions on the wettability and tribological behavior ...
Wear resistance investigation of titanium nitride-based coatings
(
Elsevier Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
The wear of components while they are in service is a predominant factor controlling the life of machine components. Metal parts are often damaged because of wear-driven failures causing the loss of dimensions and ...
Design development of aggregates cooling systems for hot weather concreting
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
Using hot aggregates, in concrete production, results in a drop in compressive strength of the produced concrete. Various methods have been proposed for cooling concrete aggregates. This paper proposes new two designs for ...
Spiderweb Honeycombs
(
Elsevier Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Small and large deformation in-plane elastic response of a new class of hierarchical fractal-like honeycombs inspired by the topology of the “spiderweb” were investigated through analytical modeling, detailed numerical ...
An adaptive step-down procedure for fault variable identification
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
In a process with a large number of process variables (high-dimensional process), identifying which variables cause an out-of-control signal is a challenging issue for quality engineers. In this paper, we propose an adaptive ...
Multivariate statistical process control charts based on the approximate sequential ?2 test
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Similar to the univariate CUSUM chart, a multivariate CUSUM (MCUSUM) chart can be designed to detect a particular size of the mean shift optimally based on the scheme of a sequential likelihood ratio test for the noncentrality ...
Enhanced simulated-annealing-based algorithms and their applications to process planning in reconfigurable manufacturing systems
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2012 , Article)
Capabilities of enhanced simulated-annealing-based algorithms in solving process planning problems in reconfigurable manufacturing are investigated. The algorithms are enhanced by combining variants of the simulated annealing ...
Materials and design issues for military helmets - Chapter 6
(
Woodhead Publishing
, 2012 , Book chapter)
Abstract: As weaponry technology has advanced, the ballistic threat to humans has increased significantly. As well as the military, civilians who are exposed to these threats as part of their everyday work require adequate ...
Energy absorption capability of thin-walled aluminium tubes under crash loading
(
Universiti Malaysia Pahang
, 2015 , Article)
This paper investigates the interaction of design factors such as tube thickness, tube length, and tube cross-sectional aspect ratio, along with friction and impacting mass on crashworthiness parameters such as specific ...
