in this research the possibility of vine pruning fibers in combination with wood fibers was studied in order to fabricate medium density fiberboard. vine pruning fibers content in three levels of 0/100, 30/70 and 60/40 (weight percent) and press time in three levels of 4, 5 and 6 minutes were as variable factors. one layer panels with a density of 0.65 g/cm3 and thickness of 15 mm were made. th...

electrical, structural and morphological properties of ni silicide films formed in ni(pt 4at.% )/si(100) and ni0.6si0.4(pt4at.% )/si(100) structures at various annealing temperatures ranging from 200 to 1000 oc were studied. the ni(pt) and ni0.6si0.4(pt) films with thickness of 15 and 25 nm were deposited by rf magnetron co-sputtering method, respectively.  the annealing process of the structur...

a high strength nickel chromium alloy (50cr-50ni-nb alloy), commonly referred to as in-657, is specifically used for components in furnaces which are fired by low grade fuel oils containing high levels of vanadium, sodium and sulphur. the purpose of this study is to experimentally investigatethe effect of machining parameters on machinability in turning of inconel 657. the considered parameters...

surface roughness of engineering parts is very significant property that effectively influences on the wear and fatigue strength. there are many methods for improving surface quality of engineering parts such as grinding, lapping and honing. one of the methods for improving surface quality is roller burnishing. roller burnishing improves surface quality of engineering parts by means of cold wor...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the surface roughness of denture base resin and metal on wettability with water and saliva. Solid specimens were produced using heat-curing denture base resin and Co-Cr alloy. After polymerizing or casting these materials, specimens with four different types of surface roughness were produced by a progressive polishing process using ...

This article presents a procedure for using machine vision data to predict surface roughness parameter of the end milled components. Stylus based surface roughness measurements were used and compared to vision based prediction of surface roughness. Wavelet decomposition was used to extract features from vision based data. In this article wavelet Energy features of approximations and details wer...

Surface roughness is considered as one of the most specified customer requirements in machining processes. For efficient use of machine tools, selection of machining process and determination of optimal cutting parameters (speed, feed and depth of cut) are required. Therefore, it is necessary to find a suitable way to select and to find optimal machining process and cutting parameters for a spe...

Our tactual perception of roughness is independent of the manner in which we touch the surface. A brick surface feels rough no matter how slowly or how rapidly we move our fingers, despite the fluctuating sensory inputs that are transmitted to the finger. Current theories of roughness perception rely solely on inputs from the cutaneous afferents, which are highly affected by scan velocity and f...

The paper presents an experimental study of roughness characteristics of surface profile generated in CNC turning of AISI 1040 mild steel and optimization of machining parameters based on genetic algorithm. The three level rotatable central composite designs are employed for developing mathematical models for predicting surface roughness parameters. Response surface methodology is applied succe...

Surface roughness is one of the most important qualities in haptic perception. Roughness is a major identifier for judgments of material composition, comfort, and friction and is tied closely to manual dexterity. Some attention has been given to the study of roughness perception in the past, but it has typically focused on noncontrollable natural materials or on a narrow range of artificial mat...
