Polyvinyl ester green composites were synthesized with walnut shell powder (WSP) by in-situ polymerization technique. The green composites have been evaluated for mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tensile modulus and hardness. Sliding wear loss, specific wear rate and coefficient of friction were investigated by using computerized pin-on–disc machine at normal applied loads of 20,...

As the turbine industries need to manufacture turbine blades made of martensitic stainless steel AISI 420 with high toughness and wear resistance, local laser hardening has become more and more important. In this research, surface of the samples was initially hardened by high-power pulsed laser beam; then, optimum parameters of hardening were calculated and wear resistance of surface hardened s...

we examined the attachment styles and its domains in a sample of rapists. 34 rapists were randomly selected among a larger group of rapists who were in captivity in central prison of mashhad city and were compared with 34 non rapist individuals (controls); all participants were matched on age, marital status, occupation status and literacy level. the control participants were selected based on ...

purpose: to evaluate the prevalence of contat lens wear among highschool girls and their general knowledge about contact lenses and also to evaluate the specific knowledge of contact lens wearers about the lens. methods: in a cross-sectional study, 1664 students of 22 randomly selected girl highschools were enrolled. a questionaire including questions about wearing contact lens, age of first us...

Nowadays steel balls wear is a major problem in mineral processing industries and forms a significant part of the grinding cost. Different factors are effective on balls wear. It is needed to find models which are capable to estimate wear rate from these factors. In this paper a back propagation neural network (BPNN) and multiple linear regression (MLR) method have been used to predict wear rat...

In the present study, Al5083- Al2O3 nanocomposite was successfully prepared by friction stir processing (FSP) with rotational speed of 710 rpm and travel speed of 14 mm/min. In order to improve distribution of Al2O3 particles, a net of holes were designed on the surface of Al5083 sheet. The samples were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness, tensile and ...

Polymer matrix composites used in different industrial applications due to their enhanced mechanical properties and lightweight. However, these materials are subjected to friction and wear situations in some industrial and automobile applications. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the wear properties of polymer matrix composite materials. This article emphasizes the dry abrasive wear be...

The present observational study aims to investigate the prevalence of tooth wear (TW) in a cluster Northern Greek adults aged 35–44 years and, additionally, assess any probable associations and interrelationships between TW periodontal condition sociodemographic factors. A cross-sectional design was embraced identically our previous on senior citizens. sample 531 individuals considered, they we...

Mo40 low-alloy steels are mostly used to produce industrial components such as crane wheels which are exposed to abrasive wear. However, during working conditions, their wear resistance is reduced after a while due to its low hardness. With increasing abrasive wear, the dimensions of components decrease and they need to be repaired for surface modification. In this regard, hard overlay coatings...
