The study reports the mechanical property and microstructure of cold rolled low carbon steel and its work-hardening behavior in the deformation process. The tensile test in room temperature of low carbon steel was implemented for the different cold rolling deformation, the stress-strain curve was draught according to the relationship between strength and deformation and fitted for the polynomia...

PURPOSE To evaluate the physical characteristics and behavior of coils for endovascular therapy. METHODS Mechanically detachable coils were constructed with simple helical (4 mm X 10 cm and 8 mm X 30 cm) and pretzel shapes (4 mm X 5 cm) made from three metals using 0.003- and 0.004-in wire. Stiffness or pliability, frictional resistance, shape memory, and coil stability were evaluated in vitr...

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different types of toothpaste on the frictional resistance between stainless steel brackets and archwires. Materials and Methods Ninety stainless steel orthodontic brackets with stainless steel wires were bonded to bovine teeth and were divided into 6 groups for application of the following toothpastes: Colgate® Total® Adva...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the static frictional resistance at the bracket/archwire interface in two recently introduced bracket systems and compare them to conventional ceramic and conventional metal bracket systems. Three variables were considered including the bracket system, archwire type and archwire angulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four bracket systems were tested in vitro: Self ligating...

The rolling/sliding in the presence of friction of a vibrating elastic body on an elastic substrate is studied. It is shown that the longitudinal components of the velocity of the center of mass of the body and of the resultant frictional force are not affected by the vibration process. However, the normal vibration of the body influences the slip velocities and the distribution of frictional f...

Seedlings of Leptospermum scoparium J.R. et G. Forst (manuka) originating from seed from a low altitude coastal site (Auckland) and from a high altitude inland site (Desert Road) were grown for 96 days in four controlled environments to compare the relationship between growth temperature and frost hardening. Day/night temperature treatments were 12/6, 12/3, 12/0 and 12/-3 degrees C. Frost hardi...

This paper presents the application of a life fraction hardening rule to the analytical calculation of creep in hot section components. Accurate prediction of creep is critical to assuring the mechanical integrity of heavy-duty, industrial gas turbine (IGT) hardware. The accuracy of such predictions depend upon both the creep models assumed and how those models are implemented in a finite eleme...

Security plays a predominant role in software engineering. Enforcing security policies should be considered during the early stages of the software development lifecycle to prevent security breaches in the final products. Because of the pervasive nature of security, integrating security solutions at the software design level may result in the scattering and tangling of security concerns through...
