Abstract: The lubricating behavior of polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, low density polyethylene, and high density polyethylene powders in the extrusion of 1100-0 aluminum ...

Abstract: The problem addressed in this paper concerns the statistical characterization of the state of residual stress generated in polycrystalline ceramics during cooling from the fabrication temperature. ...

Abstract: The fracture behavior of a crack in a threaded bolt depends on the stress intensity factor (SIF). Available SIF solutions have approximated the threaded bolt as a circular groove, thus, the SIF predominantly corresponds ...

Abstract: As part of an ongoing program to examine subcritical flaw growth in candidate steels for proposed coal gasifier pressure vessels, an initial study is made of characteristics of ultralow growth ...

Abstract: An experimental method is described whereby the dynamic fracture initiation toughness of ceramics and ceramic composites can be measured in pure tension or pure torsion at stress intensity factor ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for identification of parameters and delays of a linear system in the presence of noise. The estimation procedure is based on transforming the input-output data ...

Abstract: This paper reports the adsorptive removal of hydroquinone (HQ) from aqueous solution by granulated activated carbon (GAC). Physicochemical properties including surface area and surface texture of the GAC, before and after ...
