The materials used for cutting tool applications are principally divided in two classes: the WC-Co cemented carbides, tough but with a limited resistance to deformation at high temperature, and the TiCN-Mo-Co cermets, more refractory but less tough than th ...
In injection-moulded parts, the degree of orientation (anisotropy) varies over the cross-section. Normally, such parts exhibit a layered structure, with a biaxially oriented surface layer (stretching of the flow front during mould filling), a highly orient ...
Following a review of the processing of functionally graded metals and metal-ceramic composites in Part 1; this Part 2 of the two part series focuses on the thermomechanical behaviour. The paper begins with an overview of the fundamentals of thermoelastic ...
Teflon AF, an amorphous copolymer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with 2,2-bis(triflouromethyl)-4,5-difluoro-1, 3-dioxole, has been receiving widespread attention in the opto-electronics industries and elsewhere for its superior optical and dielectric pr ...
In a high capacity primary or secondary cell, the active material of at least one of the electrodes is selected from transition metal oxides or their (partially) lithiated forms, such as TiO2, Nb2O5, HfO2, MnO2, LiyNiO2, LiyCo2, Ldy(NiCo)O2, or LiyMn2O4, i ...
The particle entrainment ability of coherent flow structures is investigated by comparing statistical properties of momentum flux u'w' and of turbulent mass fluxes c'u' and c'w' in suspension, open-channel flow under capacity charge conditions. The quadran ...
We propose a new, simple way of constructing elastic tubes which can be used to model the nonlinear elastic properties of large arteries. The tube models are constructed from a silicon elastomer (Sylgard 184, Dow Corning), which exhibits a nonlinear behavi ...
Stretchable optical and electronic fibers constitute increasingly important building blocks for a myriad of applications, particularly in robotics, soft prosthesis, surgical tools and implants, and smart medical textiles. The integration of multimaterial a ...
