Metal matrix composites, (MMC’s) provide several important advantages over unreinforced metals and alloys. Among these, higher moduli and yield stresses and enhanced thermo-mechanical properties are normally considered ...

Three distinctly different metal matrix composites have been tested at strain rates from quasi-static to ≈3000 s−1. It was found that the high strain rate response of each composite was determined primarily by (a) the ...

An aluminium metal matrix composite reinforced with continuous unidirectional α-alumina fibres has been compression tested at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates. In the transverse direction, the composite showed increasing ...

Adsorption of water vapour on wool provides not only textile comfort, but also convenience in transportation due to increase in its bulk density. The adsorption and desorption isotherms of water vapour for wool were ...

Microscale-averaged inter-rill area sheet flow and rill flow equations (Tayfur and Kavvas, 1994) are averaged along the inter-rill area length and rill length to obtain local areally-averaged inter-rill area sheet flow and ...

As part of the Atmospheric Exchange Over Lakes and Oceans Study (AEOLOS) the dry deposition fluxes and atmospheric size distributions (ASDs) of anthropogenic metals were measured over the southern basin of Lake Michigan. ...

A vectorial solution technique is applied to investigate the dispersion characteristics of the ridge modes of a waveguide structure comprising a slab and optical fiber. The power transmission characteristics of the device ...

The high strain rate deformation behavior of composite materials is important for several reasons. First, knowledge of the mechanical properties of composites at high strain rates is needed for designing with these materials ...

Well-defined CoCl2-containing silica gels were prepared by impregnation of the aqueous solution of the salt to silica hydrogel, drying and aging methods. Silica gels having 392-437 m2 g-1 surface area and 0.21-0.37 cm3 g-1 ...

In this study, which was a part of the Atmospheric Exchange Over Lakes and Oceans Study (AEOLOS) investigation, the dry deposition fluxes and atmospheric size distributions (ASDs) of mass and crustal metals (aluminum and ...
