The ocean algorithm is based on the physical Radiative Transfer Model (RTM) described in Wentz and Meissner [2000]. The RTM consists of an atmospheric absorption model for water vapor, oxygen and liquid cloud water and a sea surface emissivity model that parameterizes the emissivity as function of sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, sea surface wind speed and direction. The details o...

The in-situ anionic polymerization of ε-caprolactam (ε-CL) to polyamide-6 enables the production large, near net shape fiber reinforced composites by thermoplastic resin transfer molding. For propagation flow front as well for progress solidification, simultaneous processes and crystallization corresponding reaction kinetics play a central role. To investigate these processes, preparation react...

Object-oriented languages and practices have long been regarded by computational scientists as inefficient or difficult to use in the production of highperformance applications. We have shown that the benefits of using object-oriented practices far outweigh a possible small decrease in run-time performance. The Simple Parallel Object-Oriented Computing Environment for the Finite Element Method ...

Micro-sized Al2O3-modified carbon fiber hybrid reinforced polymer composites (CFHRP) were prepared using the vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process, and friction wear tests performed on an MRTR-1 multifunctional tester to study effect of surface doping with trace amounts Al2O3 its content tribological properties composites. The morphology composite material was characterized a t...

Plastic worm wheel is widely used in the vehicle manufacturing field because it is favorable for weight lightening, vibration and noise reduction, as well as corrosion resistance. However, it is very difficult for general plastics to secure the mechanical properties that are required for vehicle gears. If the plastic resin is reinforced by glass fiber in the fabrication process of plastic worm ...

In this study, an appropriate fabric weight content controlled by the density of the warp and weft fibers is determined for biaxial warp-knitted composites referring to mechanical test results. Six different types of composite panel with two different fabric weights (813 and 1187 gr/m) and with three different stacking sequences [90we/0wa/90we/0wa]s, [90wa/ 0we/90wa/0we]s, and [90wa/0we/90we/0w...

Hybridization is an important application in obtaining the multi-functionality to combine best properties of each reinforcing element makes up composite. In this study, hybrid composites and uniform were fabricated using carbon, aramid, intraply carbon/aramid weaves with two different production methods (vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding process vacuum bagging process). The mechanical prod...

Preceramic polymers, i.e., polymers that are converted into ceramics upon heat treatment, have been successfully used for almost 40 years to give advanced ceramics, especially belonging to the ternary SiCO and SiCN systems or to the quaternary SiBCN system. One of their main advantages is the possibility of combining the shaping and synthesis of ceramics: components can be shaped at the precurs...
