Additive manufacturing techniques can produce complex, high-value metal parts, with potential applications as critical metal components such as those found in aerospace engines and as customized biomedical implants. Material porosity in these parts is undesirable for aerospace parts - since porosity could lead to premature failure - and desirable for some biomedical implants - since surface-bre...

1 Flow in deformable porous media I 2 Abstract Many processes in the earth, such as magma migration, can be described by the ow of a low viscosity uid in a viscously deformable, permeable matrix. The purpose of this and a companion paper is to develop a better physical understanding of the equations governing these two-phase ows. This paper presents a series of analytic approximate solutions to...

BACKGROUND The authors of this manuscript aimed to show the importance of porosity and condensation in health according to traditional Persian medicine (TPM) with consideration of new evidence in conventional medicine. METHODS Cardinal traditional medical and pharmacological texts were searched for the traditional terms of takhalkhol (porosity) and takassof (condensity) focused on preventive ...

The porosity of a material can be determined using a diversity of methods; however, the results from these methods have so far not been compared and analyzed for calcium phosphate cements (CPCs). The aim of this study was to compare a fast and easy method for porosity measurements with some commonly used porosity methods for CPCs. The investigated method is based on the assumption that when a w...

hosphating is one of the most widely used metal pretreatment P processes for ferrous metals. It gives a reasonably hard, electrically nonconducting surface coating of insoluble phosphate that is contiguous and highly adherent to the underlying metal and is considerably more absorptive than the The phosphate coating serves to anchor the paint film and prevents the induction and spreading of corr...

Crown porosity influences radiation interception, air movement through the fruit orchard, spray penetration, and harvesting operation in fruit crops. The aim of the present study was to develop an accurate and reliable methodology based on transmitted radiation measurements to assess the porosity of traditional olive trees under different pruning treatments. Transmitted radiation was employed a...

The main objective of this work is quantitative evaluation of porosity in carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) with the help of X-ray computed tomography (XCT). For this purpose two types of sample were compared. Industrial porosity sample was obtained from an aeronautical industry. Artificially induced porosity samples were created by drilling holes with diameter 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm in non-po...

dispersivity (?) and effective transport porosity (?eff) are input parameters in equilibrium convection dispersion equation (cde). normally these parameters are obtained from breakthrough curves by inverse method. however, obtaining breakthrough curves in the field is not often possible in practice. the objective of this study was to estimate ? and feff from soil hydraulic data. for this purpos...

the goal of this laboratory study is to investigate the effect of pore shapes on seismic wave velocities in carbonate rocks under reservoir conditions. in this research, 41 core plugs of carbonate rocks from oil fields of the southwest of iran were prepared. the compressional and shear wave velocities were measured in both dry and brine saturated samples under several pressures especially reser...
