Depositing MoS2 coatings for industrial applications involves rotating the samples during PVD magnetron sputtering process. Here, we show that a 3-fold substrate rotation, along large target–substrate distance given by deposition unit, introduces porosity inside coatings. The mechanical properties and wear behavior strongly correlate with degree of porosity, which, in turn, depends on temperatu...

Due to various advantages such as high-precision dosing, manufacturing efficiency and patient compliance helped making tablets the most popular dosage forms among all available dosages forms. Compaction, which is an essential manufacturing step in the manufacture of tablets, mainly includes compression (i.e. reduction of volume of the powder under consideration and particle rearrangement) and c...

Compacted membrane arrays are formed in the nerve myelin sheath by lowering the water activity (through evaporation or immersion in hypertonic solutions of nonelectrolytes or monovalent salts) or by binding specific cations (Ca(++), La(+++), and tetracaine at concentrations above 5-10 mM). X-ray diffraction observations on intact, hydrated nerves treated to induce compaction provide a control t...

response to soil compaction associated with soil and crop type, and soil wetness at the time of load application and weather in Central and Eastern Europe are reviewed. The effects of soil compaction on the morphological and anatomical modifications of the roots were shown. The influence of soil compaction on plasticity in root growth and functioning in relation to structural discontinuity is d...

withdrawal of oil and gas from reservoirs causes a decrease in pore pressure and an increase in effective stress which results to a reservoir compaction. reservoir compaction will result in surface subsidence through the elastic response of the subsurface. usually in order to determine the subsidence above a hydrocarbon field, the reservoir compaction must be first calculated and then the effec...

this paper describes the results of a study which was primarily directed to the determination of geotechnical properties of fine and coarse grain soils stabilized by lime obtained from taleghan, northwest of tehran to assess its suitability as construction material. soils were treated with lime mixtures in various portions between 3 to 9 percents by weight. the samples were cured for different ...

In our previous paper [Watano S. et al., J. Powder Technology Japan, 37, 362-370 (2000)], a novel compaction tester was developed to quantitatively evaluate the water dispersion condition of a wet kneaded mass prepared by a paddle type kneader. It has been demonstrated that the physical properties of pellets prepared by extrusion granulation after the kneading can be well predicted by the press...

Mechanistic pavement design procedures based on elastic layer theory require characterization of all pavement layer materials including subgrade soil. This paper discusses the subgrade stiffness obtained from a new compaction device called the Intelligent Compaction (IC) roller on highway embankment projects in Kansas. Three test sections on two routes were compacted using a single, smooth stee...

the mechanical behaviour of rockfill materials and aggregates depends not only on particle size and compaction, but also on their strength and lithological properties. in this research two types of large triaxial and direct shear tests are performed on rockfill materials. this paper compares the stress-strain behaviour of sandstone and andesibasalt materials in triaxial compression tests (3006...
