wear is a complicated phenomenon caused by the relative movement of two contacting surfaces compressed together by a normal force. prediction of the wear, in most cases, requires various experiments and microstructural characterization of the contacting surfaces. mathematical models based on physical concepts could provide considerable help in understanding the physical behavior and hence the p...

In this paper, we propose a method of designing energy tax rate based on game theory. Through this method, the effect of energy tax on encouraging manufacturers’ improvement in energy efficiency is enhanced. Consequently policy makers can reduce the average burden of manufacturers brought by energy tax. Through utilizing game theory in a numerical example, we explain the effect of energy tax on...

we study the exponential decay of global solution for an n-dimensional thermo-elasticity systemin a bounded domain of ℜn . by using the multiplier technique and constructing an energy functional welladapted to the system, the exponential decay is proved.

composite solid propellants were prepared with and without nano-alloys (ti-co, ti-ni, ti-zn), where nano-alloys used as catalyst. these nano-alloys are prepared by hydrazine reduction method. catalytic properties of these nanomaterials were measured on ammonium perchorate/hydroxyterminatedpolybutadiene propellant by thermogravimetery analysis and differential thermal analysis. both experimental...

the dynamic behavior of three high manganese steels with very different stacking faultenergy (sfe) values (4-30 mj/m2) were studied using high strain rate torsional tests. the hotrolledmicrostructure of the steel with the lowest sfe of 4 mj/m2 consisted of a duplex mixture ofaustenite and ε-martensite, but those of the other two steels were fully austenitic. the deformedmicrostructures were stu...
