Abstract: Friction surfacing is a new variation of friction stir processing for surface property modification of metallic substrates. There is an increasing body of literature about friction surfacing by deposition of metal from a ...

Abstract: In transportation sector, there is an increasing need for joining dissimilar materials for lightweight structures; however, substantial barriers to the joining of dissimilar materials have led to an investigation and ...

Abstract: Friction stir forming (FSF) is a new environmentally friendly manufacturing process for lap joining of dissimilar materials. Fundamentally, this process is based on frictionally heating and mechanically stirring work ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to describe the design and function of the multisplit ventilator system (MSVS); an airflow apparatus that enables physicians to provide individualized, isolated ventilation to up to four ...

Abstract: Ventilator sharing has been proposed as a method of increasing ventilator capacity during instances of critical shortage. We sought to assess the ability of a regulated, shared ventilator system, the multisplit ventilator ...
