Changes in moisture content and temperature can perturb both stiffness and strength and as such the impact resistance of composite structures. In this paper, the pre-notched basalt fibre reinforced epoxy (BFRE) composite ...

Machine-part family formation is one of major applications of group technology (GT). The machine cell formation problem in cellular manufacturing system (CMS) involves the decomposition of the manufacturing system into ...

Flow structure and heat transfer characteristics around two-equal in-tandem square cylinders in the two dimensional laminar and turbulent flow regimes are simulated numerically for Reynolds and Prandtl numbers, Re=1-1×105, ...

In this work, a thermal energy storage system was designed and equipped with measuring instruments to study heat transfer characteristics and energy storage and release. In this system, a cubic container which is made of ...

This work presents an experimental investigation of the influence of the six important machining parameters (tool nose radius, tool rake angle, feed rate, cutting speed, cutting environment (dry, wet and cooled) and depth ...

In this paper the effects of non-linearity of suspension on dynamic behavior of a railway wheelset has been studied. This wheelset has four degrees of freedom that with two constraints it has reduced to two degrees of ...

Engineering ceramics due to high-strength-to-weight ratio, wear and corrosion resistance, and high strength temperatures, in the industries especially in aerospace, automobile, electronics and computers are used widely. ...

In this paper, a new approach to modify cable tension measuring mechanism is described; furthermore, the constructed boards which amplify load cell output are introduced. This approach has some advantages including of ...

In this study, behavior of pin-loaded glass fiber reinforced with polyethylene laminated composites with different stacking sequence and different dimensions has been observed experimentally and stress analysis was performed ...

Air spindles are one of the main elements of precise machine tools. Vibration of these spindles is one of the vital issues necessary for investigation. Among parameters which influence air spindle vibrations are rotational ...
