In this research, Al-Ni particle composite strips are formed by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process using Al strips and Ni powder. The rule of ARB cycles and volume percentage (Vol%) of Ni powder on the microstructure, wear resistance and mechanical properties of the formed composites are investigated. According to the tensile test results, the yield stress and tensile strengths of the Al -...

Abstract Nuclear power plant containment, large storage tank, industrial cooling tower and some plants under high temperature will be subjected to the sub-high cycles from normal ~200°C. To explore durability of structural concrete, this paper carried out experimental research on mechanical properties concrete cyclic environment (below 200°C). The uniaxial compression test different strength wa...

objective: despite the high strength of zirconia restorations, aging in the oral environment and masticatory loading may result in transformation of tetragonal to monoclinic phase and decrease their strength. statements in this regard are controversial. this study sought to compare the flexural strength (fs) of zirkonzahn (zirkonzahn, cercon, ceramill) and mamut (dubai medical equipment llc, du...

Necessary and sufficient conditions on n and A are given for the existence an edge-disjoint decomposition of AKn into copies of the graph of a 3-dimensional cube. Also, necessary and sufficient conditions on m, nand>' are given for similar decompositions of >'Km,n'

The fundamental group of a hyperbolic manifold acts on the limit set, giving rise to a cross-product C∗-algebra. We construct nontrivial K-cycles for the cross-product algebra, thereby extending some results of Connes and Sullivan to higher dimensions. We also show how the Patterson-Sullivan measure on the limit set can be interpreted as a center-valued KMS state.
