Effect of microstructural evolution on wettability and tribological behavior of TiO2 nanotubular arrays coated on Ti–6Al–4V
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Self-organized TiO2 nanotubular arrays were fabricated by electrochemical anodization of Ti–6Al–4V plates in an NH4F/H3PO4 electrolyte. The effect of microstructural evolutions on the wettability and tribological behavior ...
Spiderweb Honeycombs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Small and large deformation in-plane elastic response of a new class of hierarchical fractal-like honeycombs inspired by the topology of the “spiderweb” were investigated through analytical modeling, detailed numerical ...
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 ...
Constitutive analysis for the quantification of hardness decay in a superlattice CrN/NbN hard-coating
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
In the present study, a constitutive analysis of the evolution of the mechanical response of a CrN/NbN superlattice coating exposed to high temperature has been performed. Parametric approaches were used to obtain a single ...
Measurements of laminar flame speeds of alternative gaseous fuel mixtures
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
Global warming and the ever increasing emission levels of combustion engines have forced the engine manufacturers to look for alternative fuels for high engine performance and low emissions. Gaseous fuel mixtures such as ...
A novel robust automated FFT-based segmentation and features selection algorithm for acoustic emission condition based monitoring systems
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This paper aims at developing a robust, fast-response and automated FFT-based features selection algorithm for the development of acoustic emission practical condition based monitoring applications of mechanical systems. ...
Effect of bone density on the compressive mechanical properties of bovine trabecular bone
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The density of bone is subject to change due to natural causes or bone abnormalities and disorders such as osteopenia, osteomalacia and osteoporosis. One of the most concerning attributes of osteoporosis is its non-expressive ...
Electrospun PET-PU scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is projected to continuously increase in the coming decades, with a colossal associated cost of treatment. In the US alone, 83.6 million people are estimated to have one or ...
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 ...
Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of AA 6063 Processed by Severe Plastic Deformation
(
Springer US
, 2015 , Article)
In this study, the mechanical properties, including surface hardness, tensile strength, fatigue, and fretting fatigue behavior of AA 6063 processed by equal channel angular pressing as the most efficient severe shear plastic ...
