Abstract: A baseline constant-parameters non-dimensional cylindrical oxidation model was first revisited, normalizing oxide thickness to oxidant diffusivity/reaction rate ratio instead of the original cylinder radius, allowing this ...

Abstract: Wear rates of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filled with micrometerand nanometersized particles of copper, silicon nitride, and خ³phase alumina were measured under dry sliding conditions using a pinonplate tribometer. In ...

Abstract: Labscale electromagnetic launcher (EML) tests for the baseline case of an aluminum armature spanning a pair of copper rails reproduced excessive aluminum melt wear depth leading to loss of conductive contact and resultant ...

Abstract: In the modeling of a uniformly distributed band heat flux region experiencing constant acceleration from rest over a half-space surface, it is found that the maximum surface temperature at the instantaneous speed and the ...

Abstract: Our model, treating oxide as solid annulus freely expanded from the silicon (Si) consumed due to increased molecular volume whose geometry enables closed-form expression of time as a function of thickness in constant-parameters ...
