The evaluation of critical transition loads in a wear system of metal matrix composites (MMCs) was attempted with the aid of the wear knowledge established using fuzzy rule based modelling. The model presumes that the membership function of the inputs and the rule base are proper. The membership function of the output is adjusted to minimise the error between the predicted output and the experi...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) attract considerable attention as a result from its ability in providing a high strength, high modulus, high toughness, high impact properties, improving wear resistance and providing good corrosion resistance compared to unreinforced alloy. Aluminium Silicon (Al/Si) alloy MMC has been widely used in various industrial sectors such as in transportation, domestic e...

Aluminium alloy components are used in lightweight engineering applications and lack mechanical properties, wear resistance, corrosion resistance. When hard reinforcement particulates dispersed the aluminium matrix alloy, composites (AMCs) formed. This new material exhibits enhanced properties such as better specific stiffness, strength, elastic modulus, lightweight. AMCs have many favorable co...

The corrosion behavior of metal matrix composites (MMCs) is accelerated by the inclusion reinforcements. Hence, this study investigates MMCs produced from Al 6063 alloy with reinforcement particulates silicon carbide (SiC) and palm kernel shell ash (PKSA) at different mix ratios. were synthesized using double stir casting technique. behaviors in NaCl solutions studied via gravimetric analysis e...

It has been assumed that in piebald lethal mice that develop megacolon, impaired colonic motor activity is restricted to the aganglionic distal colon. Peristaltic mechanical recordings, immunohistochemistry, and quantitative PCR were used to investigate whether regions of the colon, other than the aganglionic segment, may also show anatomical modifications and dysfunctional colonic motor activi...
