The development of high damping materials for noise reduction and attenuation of vibration on structural applications, such as automotive and aerospace industries, has been investigated. This experimental study is concerned with the damping capacity (tan delta) and dynamic Young’s modulus (|E*|) of Silicon carbide (SiC) reinforced aluminium (Al) matrix composite. AlSi-SiCp composite was produce...

The composites combining aluminum and silica nanoparticles with the addition of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (Al-SiO2(T)) and butanol (Al-SiO2(B)) as mixing media have been successfully fabricated. Corrosion behavior of Al-SiO2 composites before and after exposure in 1M NaCl solution was examined using potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel curve analysis). The st...

Nearly twenty years ago, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) changed the intellectual landscape of introductory computing courses. Unfortunately, three problems—its lack of an explicit program design methodology, its reliance on domain knowledge, and the whimsies of Scheme— have made it integrate poorly with the rest of the curriculum and fail to maintain its position in se...

Abstract In this study, filtration of aluminum alloy (Al) with different weight fractions SiC particles (SiCp) was investigated. Therefore, three filter materials 20 pores per inch (ppi) ceramic foam filters (CFF) were tested. A special three-chamber furan mold used for the casting trials to provide uniform filling and flow conditions process. Samples from sections gating system, as well filter...

The continuous development of technology in automotive manufacturing process demands new solutions which is largely de-pendent on the development of lightweight, nonpollution for the environment materials of improved mechanical properties and also with a low cost production. According with these required characteristics of materials, the aims of this paper were to manufacturing Al-SiCp composit...
