Thermo-Mechanical Investigations of a Tribological Interface

Experimental Investigations of Mechanical Characteristics and Tribological Mechanisms of Nanometric Zirconia Dental Ceramics

This study was focused on the experimental investigations about mechanical characteristics and tribological mechanisms of nanometric zirconia dental ceramics. A universal mechanical testing machine was used to test the threepoint flexural strength and the fracture toughness. A microhardness tester was used to test the Vickers hardness of the test specimens. An MRH-3 digital-display high-speed r...

Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue Life Assessment of a Diesel Engine Piston

Thermo-mechanical analysis of a coated cylinder head

This paper presents finite element analysis (FEA) of a coated and uncoated cylinder heads of a diesel engine to examine the distribution of temperature and stress. A thermal barrier coating system was applied on the combustion chamber of the cylinder heads, consists of two-layer systems: a ceramic top coat (TC), made of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), ZrO2-8%Y2O3 and also a metallic bond coat...

Thermo Mechanical Analysis of Polypropylene/Calcium Carbonate Nano Composite using Thermo Mechanical Analyzer

Polypropylene is extensively used for varied applications due to its low cost, low density, high thermal stability and resistance to corrosion. Enhanced mechanical properties of Polypropylene can be achieved by mixing it with clays to form nanocomposites which increases its utility. Polypropylene Nano composites are formed by mixing polypropylene with calcium carbonate nano particles. This resu...
