Electromagnetic metamaterials opened the way to extraordinary manipulation of radiation. Terahertz (THz) and optical metamaterials are usually fabricated by traditional planar-patterning approaches, while the majority of practical applications require metamaterials with 3D resonators. Making arrays of precise 3D micro- and nanoresonators is still a challenging problem. Here we present a versati...

Rolled, continuous stationary phases were constructed by tightly rolling and inserting a whole textile fabric into a chromatography column. This work reports the column performance, in terms of plate height, void fraction, and resolution, of 10 cellulose-based fabrics. The relation between fabric structural properties of yarn diameter, fabric count, fabric compressibility, and column performanc...

The comprehension of the anisotropy impacts on mechanical properties of the rolled steel sheets was investigated using a non-quadratic anisotropic yield function. In this study, experimental and modelling determination regarding the behaviour of an industrial rolled sheet for a ferritic stainless low-carbon steel were carried out. The parameters of the associated yield equation, derived from th...

Catalytic microjet bubble-propelled engines have attracted a large amount of interest for their potential applications in biomedicine, environmental sciences and natural resources discovery. One of the current efforts in this field is focused on the search of biocompatible fuels. However, only a minimal amount of effort has been made to assess the challenges facing the movement of such devices ...

In the 21 st century, numerical analysis is a proven tool for research and development of manufacturing processes. Mathematical modelling provides information about behaviour various materials during forming processes, instance. The real-world process therefore represented by an abstract mathematical model, on which calculations are performed. Three-roll skew rolling can be used grades steel. T...

The production of high-quality rolled products (slabs), the formation its surface phase-structural composition, texture, stress state during rough grinding depends on temperature in area contact between wheel and slab. During processing, due to geometric errors surface, as well local changes hardness, periodic fluctuations instantaneous depth cut occur, which can be determined indirectly by con...

Using metallurgical models, three steels were designed to obtain carbide-free bainitic structures in the as-rolled condition. Experimental castings were hot-rolled in a pilot mill and their austenite decomposition kinetics were measured using dilatometry. Tensile and Charpy impact properties were measured and the microstructures were characterised using X-ray diffractometry, optical and scannin...

Cryptanalysis of block ciphers involves massive computations which are independent of each other and can be instantiated simultaneously so that the solution space is explored at a faster rate. With the advent of low cost Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA’s), building special purpose hardware for computationally intensive applications has now become possible. For this the Data Encryption Stan...

In this paper, how structure-sensitive parameters derived from the hysteresis loop, like coercive field, remanent induction, and hysteresis losses, can be used to characterise recovery and recrystallization in cold rolled Ti-Nb stabilised interstitial free ultra low carbon steel is shown. The effect on hysteresis measurements of isothermal annealing treatments applied to industrially cold rolle...

The fingerprint image acquired using a sensor is impacted by several factors including the imaging technology, platen area, sensing resolution, etc. Due to these factors, fingerprint images obtained using different sensors can be significantly different [1]. Another factor that impacts the photometric and geometric characteristics of a fingerprint image is the acquisition methodology that is em...
