This work presents the effects of strain rate on the tensile properties and fracture morphologies of AHSS-DP 350/600 subjected to LSP. Fatigue crack growth test was performed to evaluate fatigue behavior in the metallic plate of AHSS-DP350/600. However, this material is used in automobile industry and enhancing it fatigue resistance is a challenge in material engineering. In order to evaluate a...

Fibers are important microstructural elements in many foods and calcium alginate fibers may find applications in the structuring of many food analogues. Fiber properties depend largely on their uniform diameter and mechanical properties. The main objective of this research is to production of fibers calcium alginate of regular diameter and to present the effect of concentrations sodium alginate...

This study experimentally investigates the effect of processing parameters on mechanical properties of injection molded copolymer. This paper presents an experimental study on the effects of processing parameters including melt temperature, injection pressure and amount preliminary materials on tensile strength of injection molded copolymer PP-WGRT. Polypropylene (PP - supplied by T.P.C of Iran...

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) was reinforced with 0-40 vol% hydroxyapatite (HA) whiskers using a novel powder processing and compression molding technique. A powder mixture was uniaxially pressed into a composite powder compact and compression molded into a flat composite bar using an open-channel die, such that the HA whiskers exhibited a preferred orientation along the length of the bar and ten...

Collagen content and tensile properties of engineered articular cartilage have remained inferior to glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content and compressive properties. Based on a cartilage explant study showing greater tensile properties after chondroitinase ABC (C-ABC) treatment, C-ABC as a strategy for cartilage tissue engineering was investigated. A scaffold-less approach was employed, wherein chond...
