From Zirconium Nanograins to Zirconia Nanoneedles
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
Combinations of three simple techniques were utilized to gradually form zirconia nanoneedles from zirconium nanograins. First, a physical vapor deposition magnetron sputtering technique was used to deposit pure zirconium ...
Economic cost models of integrated APC controlled SPC charts
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2012 , Article)
In this paper, an economic cost model is proposed for processes integrating both automatic process control (APC) and statistical process control (SPC) for quality monitoring and control. Both the special cause and common ...
Adaptive cumulative sum charts with the adaptive runs rule
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2013 , Article)
Adaptive cumulative sum (ACUSUM) charts, which adjust the reference value dynamically based on estimated shift size, provide good performance in detecting a range of mean shifts. However, when the range is wide, ACUSUM may ...
ISO 9000 performance among the Malaysian companies: The effects of motives
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2009 , Article)
This paper presents the results of a study to identify the real motives behind ISO 9000 Certification. Towards this goal, a survey of some 300 ISO 9000 certified companies has been carried out for Malaysian manufacturing ...
An adaptive step-down procedure for fault variable identification
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
In a process with a large number of process variables (high-dimensional process), identifying which variables cause an out-of-control signal is a challenging issue for quality engineers. In this paper, we propose an adaptive ...
Structural and morphological study of mechanochemically synthesized crystalline nanoneedles of Zr-doped carbonated chlorapatite
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Nanosize Zr-doped carbonated chlorapatite (n-ZCCA) was developed as a novel bioceramic by a ball milling process. Results showed that the microstructural characteristics of the product were affected significantly by the ...
Design development of aggregates cooling systems for hot weather concreting
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
Using hot aggregates, in concrete production, results in a drop in compressive strength of the produced concrete. Various methods have been proposed for cooling concrete aggregates. This paper proposes new two designs for ...
Multiple parts process planning in serial-parallel flexible flow lines: part I—process plan modeling framework
(
Springer London
, 2015 , Article)
In recent years, integrated process planning and scheduling models have been proposed as solutions that can bridge the gap between practical process planning and production scheduling. However, most structures of these ...
Self-organized TiO2 nanotube layer on Ti–6Al–7Nb for biomedical application
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
In the present study, a self-organized nanotube TiO2 layer on Ti–6Al–7Nb was fabricated. The influence of acidic electrolytes including glycerol (G) and ethylene glycol (EG) on the anodization, microstructural features and ...
Thermo elastic analysis of functionally graded rotating disks with temperature-dependent material properties: uniform and variable thickness
(
Springer Science+Business Media, B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
A thermo elastic analysis is presented for axisymmetric rotating disks made of functionally graded material (FGM) with variable thickness. Material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and graded in the radial ...
