Present study focuses on the micro-structural and mechanical behavior effect of friction time for similar (AISI 316-AISI 316 and AISI 304-AISI 304) and dissimilar (AISI 304-AISI 316) joint during continuous drive friction welding. The welding carried out with different friction time: 6.5, 8.5 and 10 s while kept all other conditions constant. The effect of that time on the strength, structural ...

The objective of this paper is to describe and analyze a series of nonlinear finite element analyses used to compare three design methods for locally slender, braced, steel beams and columns. The three design methods are: (i) the hot-rolled steel AISC Specification, (ii) the coldformed steel AISI Specification which uses the effective width method throughout, and (iii) the cold-formed steel Dir...

Release of nickel from nickel or nickel-plated metals, is often responsible for allergic contact dermatitis. However, the effect of nickel-bearing stainless steels is not weil known. ln this paper AISI 304, 316 and 430 type stainless steels, as weil as nickel and nickel-plated materials, are investigated. Three tests were carried out: electrochemical tests and leaching experiments in sodium chl...

For periods up to 21 days human bone marrow was cultured in control conditions that favor the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblastic cells. The effect of AISI 316L corrosion products and the corresponding major separate metal ions (Fe, Cr, and Ni) were studied in three different phases of the culture period in order to investigate the effects of metal ions in cell populations represe...

Solidification based grain refinement has gained wide interest by both researchers and industry. This method provides a route for in processes where thermomechanical approaches are ineffective. Prior research into 4130 HY100 found very different responses when rare earth additions were made. The was effectively refined while showed no response. cause of this difference not determined. presented...

Modulus of elasticity of flapper valve material is an important parameter for compressor design since it can affect efficiency and life time of the compressor. Modulus of elasticity is usually considered as a material constant. Actually, it can vary with material orientations and conditions and even environments such as temperature will also affect this value. Therefore, the parameters that can...

OBJECTIVE Recording and reporting systems borrowed from the DOTS framework for tuberculosis control can be used to record, monitor and report on chronic disease. In a primary healthcare clinic run by UNRWA in Amman, Jordan, serving Palestine refugees with hypertension, we set out to illustrate the method of cohort reporting for persons with hypertension by presenting on quarterly and cumulative...
