Ceramic laser materials have come a long way since the first demonstration of lasing in 1964. Improvements in powder synthesis and ceramic sintering as well as novel ideas have led to notable achievements. These include the first Nd:yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) ceramic laser in 1995, breaking the 1 KW mark in 2002 and then the remarkable demonstration of more than 100 KW output power from a YA...

Ceramic waste is most commonly produce from ceramic industry, this waste is in the form of pest and hard form, pest waste is known as the filter waste or slurry waste, which is produced at the end of polishing and finishing of ceramic tiles. The paper discuss that ceramic slurry waste powder is replaced by cement in concrete. Concrete grade M25 was made by replacing by 0% to 30% of Ordinary Por...

The type of bearing material that should be used in revision surgery after the failure of ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains controversial. In the case of ceramic fracture, the residual ceramic particles can cause consequent metallosis when metal implants are used for revision THA. On the other hand, in the case of THA failure without ceramic fracture, revision THA with a m...

IS/IT strategies usually depend on a business strategy. The alignment between both strategies improves these strategic plans. Business and IS/IT alignment is the degree to which the strategy of IS / IT supports and is supported by the business strategy. This paper review the strategic alignment between business and IS/IT and propose to use enterprise engineering to achieve this alignment. Enter...

This paper presents the obtained mathematical models of cutting forces during machining process by high speed turning as a function of processing parameters v, f, a and re. The machining process by turning is performed on NC lathe using ceramic cutting tool inserts and the workpiece material is C 1630 (DIN C 55). Processing parameters are varied in range between v =300 and 700 m/min , f =0,16-0...

Passive vibration shunt control using piezoelectric materials and an electrical network can remove vibration energy from structures. However, the vibration shunt control efficiency relies on the optimization of the vibration energy transfer between a structure and a Lead-Zirconate-Titanate piezoelectric ceramic material. We present an analytical study of a parallel resistor-inductor piezoelectr...
