objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of phosphoric acid re-etching of an enamel surface treated via a one-bottle adhesive system on shear bond strength between resin composite and the enamelsurface in different stages of adhesive application. materials and methods: extracted intact premolars (n=84) were divided into sevengroups (n=12). in the control group 1, the adhes...

Three test methods, uniaxial bias extension, biaxial and picture frame tests are used to characterise the shear behaviour of dry woven fabric during draping. The deformation of the bias extension and biaxial specimens is measured from images of a central gauge section. The forces applied to the material are resolved into forces along and parallel to the tow directions. The deformation of the ma...

In this paper, we show that the notion of most regular word in the language formed by all of the words containing a xed number of each letter of an alphabet can be applied to nd the optimal resource allocation policy of the generic system composed by two processes sharing a resource. This system will be modeled as a Petri net. This result can be partially generalized to non periodic allocation ...

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of kenaf fiber orientation and furnish formulation on the properties of laminated natural fiber–polymer composites (LNPC). The uniaxial fiber orientation provided property enhancement of the LNPC. The randomly oriented kenaf fibers, regardless of fiber contents in the laminates, provided an equal performance compared to the composites ma...

Tribological properties of composites of low density polyethylene (LDPE) reinforced with 1, 5, 10, 20 wt% micrometric Boehmite (B) and/or preheated Boehmite (HB) powders were studied in combination with two silane coupling agents (SCAs): vinyltri(2-methoxyethoxy)silane (VTMES)-SCA 972 and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)-propylmethacrylate (3MPS)-SCA 989. When coupling agents are used, the samples not subje...
