In this paper we continue the systematic study of Contact graphs Paths on a Grid ( CPG ) initiated in Deniz et al. (2018). A graph is for which there exists collection pairwise interiorly disjoint paths grid one-to-one correspondence with its vertex set such that two vertices are adjacent if and only corresponding touch at grid-point. If every path has most k bends some ? 0 , said to be B -CPG....

Smedskjaer , Section of Chemistry, Aalborg University, Fredrik Bajers Vej 7H, Aalborg 9220, Denmark e-mail: [email protected] For various advanced glass applications, it is important to understand the composition dependence of indentation hardness. Boroaluminosilicate glasses form the basis of many industrial products and they exhibit complex structural behavior due to t...

Hardness homogeneity of the commonly used structural ferrous and nonferrous engineering materials is of vital importance in the design stage, therefore, reliable information regarding material properties homogeneity should be validated and any deviation should be addressed. In the current study the hardness variation, over wide spectrum radial locations of some ferrous and nonferrous structural...

We show a close connection between structural hardness for k-partite graphs and tight inapproximability results for scheduling problems with precedence constraints. Assuming a natural but nontrivial generalisation of the bipartite structural hardness result of [1], we obtain a hardness of 2 − for the problem of minimising the makespan for scheduling precedence-constrained jobs with preemption o...

The use of aluminum alloys in various industries, especially the automotive industries, to have less structural weight, is on the rise. The use of semi-solid forming process in addition to changes in the microstructure which improves the mechanical properties can reduce the volume of production and ultimately lead to the improvement of the structural weight. In this paper, optimization of the g...

PURPOSE The electron beam melting (EBM) Ti-6Al-4V material technology has been developed over a short time period. It was introduced through a research to develop Ti-6Al-4V implants for patients, but EBM printed locking compression plates have not been used for clinical implants. The main purpose of this study is to find whether the EBM Ti-6Al-4V plate suit for clinical implants. METHODS Firs...

Statistical models were developed to reveal which structural elements of ice cream affect melting rate and hardness. Ice creams were frozen in a batch freezer with three types of sweetener, three levels of the emulsifier polysorbate 80, and two different draw temperatures to produce ice creams with a range of microstructures. Ice cream mixes were analyzed for viscosity, and finished ice creams ...

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 ...

In this present study, A356.2 Al/Rice hush ash (RHA) metal matrix composites (MMCs) were fabricated by vortex method. Different weight fractions of reinforcement were used to fabricate the composites. Scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive Xray analyzer is used for micro structural characterization. The properties like density, hardness, and ultimate tensile strength were ...
