Aluminium metal matrix composites are widely used in the automobile industry due to their superior properties like high strength weight ratio, ductility and better corrosion resistance. In this study, effect of naturally available low-cost kaoline particles on microstructural mechanical behaviour Al- SiC- Kaoline Hybrid composite was investigated. Al-10 % X% (X = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) samples were fab...

Fluid migration and distribution are important aspects of the evolution of sedimentary basins. An essential parameter affecting fluid flow is permeability. Even mm thick fractures have permeabilit ies many orders of magnitude above surrounding sediments, and thus have the potential of focusing fluid flow. It is a major task to establish the importance of these fractures as fluid conduits. One a...
