Surface nanomechanical behavior under nanoindentation of ZrN and ZrCN film on NiTi substrate was studied. The surface hardness and modulus of the films increase initially with larger nanoindentation depths and then reach their maximum values. Afterwards, they diminish gradually and finally reaching plateau values which are the composite modulus and composite hardness derived from the ZrN/ZrCN f...

We study the kernel Kn,s(z) of the remainder term Rn,s( f ) of Gauss–Turán–Kronrod quadrature rules with respect to one of the generalized Chebyshev weight functions for analytic functions. The location on the elliptic contours where the modulus of the kernel attains its maximum value is investigated. This leads to effective L∞-error bounds of Gauss–Turán–Kronrod quadratures. Following Kronrod,...

In certain signal processing problems, it is customary to estimate parameters in distorted signals by approximating what is termed a cross ambiguity function and estimating where it attains its maximum modulus. To unify and generalize these procedures, we consider a generalized form of the cross ambiguity function and give error bounds for estimating the parameters, showing that these bounds ar...

Polymer blends composites were prepared according to the formula [84%LLDPE:15%((100-X)%PP:X%PVP):1%B.P] with weight ratios selected for X values (0,4,8,12,16 %), as strips by double screw extruder and use press process the strips to prepare the samples according ASTM specification, the mechanical properties were studied for all theprepared samples which are (tensile, flexural, compression, impa...

The modulus of elasticity of dam concrete is difficult to determine directly from tests due to the necessity for large specimens and testing machines. In order to study the applicability of simple elastic models for predicting the modulus from standard size specimens, tests were conducted on prisms of 45×45×90 cm fabricated with dam concrete (maximum aggregate of 120 mm). The tests on standard ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rigidity of post core systems on stress distribution by the theoretical technique, finite element stress-analysis method. Three-dimensional finite element models simulating an endodontically treated maxillary central incisor restored with a zirconia ceramic crown were prepared and 1.5 mm ferrule height was provided. Each model contained...

in this study, the possibility of producing wood-plastic panels was studied using two different blending methods including melt blend and dry blend. wood-plastic panels were made from recycled high density polyethylene (as resin) and mdf waste (as natural fiber) at 60, 70 and 80% by weight filler loading. nominal density and dimensions of the panels were 1g/cm3 and 35×35×1 cm, respectively. the...
