The vacuum brazing of dissimilar Al 7075 and Al–25 Si alloy was investigated. filler copper foil with a thickness 20 μm, the temperature 560 °C held for 10 min. average shear strength brazed joint 26.4 MPa. layer found to be dissolved completely, interface had an irregular shape serrated border, indicating good metallurgical bonding between two alloys. However, factors which might cause deterio...

The paper describes results obtained from plate-impact pressure-shear friction experiments to investigate the phenomena of high-speed slip at metal-on-metal interfaces. Using a CH toolsteel/Ti-6Al-4V tribo-pair the authors have studied the effects of normal pressure, slip-speed, temperature and surface roughness on the evolution of the dynamic slip-resistance. Moreover, a finite-element procedu...

Background: Unloading of skeletal muscle causes atrophy and loss of contractile function. In part, this response is believed to be mediated by the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NFκB). Both curcumin, a component of the spice turmeric, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant, inhibit activation of NF-κB by inflammatory stimuli, albeit by different mechanisms. In the present stud...

This article addresses diagnosis and prognosis of evolving fatigue crack damage in polycrystalline alloy structures. It presents a statistically inspired recursive method for in situ estimation of the remaining useful life in machinery components, based on real-time measurements. The underlying algorithm is built upon (a) symbolic dynamic filtering of (online) ultrasonic sensor data and (b) Kar...

In this study, thermal stress analysis on discs consisting of two different materials was analyzed analytically. Disc were selected SiC/6061 Al Alloy composite and Al-7075 respectively. Assuming that the elasticity module does not change with temperature, performed under constant temperature distributions in area from inner surface disc to outer surface. Thermal distribution. A computer program...
