in this study, ultrafine grained 2024 al alloy based b4c particles reinforced composite was produced by mechanical milling and hot extrusion. mechanical milling was used to synthesize the nanostructured al2024 in attrition mill under argon atmosphere up to 50h. a similar process was used to produce al2024-5%wt. b4c composite powder. to produce trimodal composites, milled powders were combined w...

A microstructure consisting of ultrafine grained (UFG) ferrite with average grain size of ~ 0.7 µm and dispersed nano-sized carbides was produced by cold-rolling and tempering of the martensite starting microstructure in a low carbon steel. Subsequently, fine grained dual phase (DP) steel consisting of equiaxed ferrite grains with average size of ~ 5 µm and martensite islands with average size ...

Deformation microstructure and texture in a cold-rolled austenitic steel 310S with low stacking fault energy (SFE) have been investigated by SEM and TEM. When 310S plates were rolled by 95% in thickness reduction, a remarkable development of the brass-type preferred orientation was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. SEM observations of the specimens with such texture exhibited a layered structure ...

This article introduces scalable data parallel algorithms for image processing. Focusing on Gibbs and Markov random field model representation for textures, we present parallel algorithms for texture synthesis, compression, and maximum likelihood parameter estimation, currently implemented on Thinking Machines CM-2 and CM-5. The use of fine-grained, data parallel processing techniques yields re...

This study focuses on evaluating the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of improved fine-grained soils. A large database of unconfined compressive strength of clayey soil specimens stabilized with fly ash and blast furnace slag based geopolymer were collected and analyzed. Subsequently, using adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), a model has been developed to assess the UCS of stabi...

Mapping textured images on smoothly approximated surfaces is often used to conceal the loss of their real, fine-grained relief. A limitation of mapping a fixed texture in such cases is that it will only be correct for one viewing and one illumination direction. The presence of geometric surface details causes changes that simple foreshortening and global color scaling cannot model well. Hence, ...
