Squeeze casting was used to prepare aluminium alloy-6061/titanium diboride (TiB2) create a composite with varied TiB2 quantities. The composite's metallographic structure, tensile strength, and hardness have been explored. strength of produced metal matrix composites increased when particle from 5 10 vol.%. This study uses electrical discharge machining (EDM) investigate the output response too...

Natural lung surfactant contains less than 40% disaturated phospholipids, mainly dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). The mechanism by which lung surfactant achieves very low near-zero surface tensions, well below its equilibrium value, is not fully understood. To date, the low surface tension of lung surfactant is usually explained by a squeeze-out model which predicts that upon film compres...

OBJECTIVE To investigate anorectal function in women patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), with and without lower gastrointestinal symptoms. METHODS Anorectal manometry was performed in 16 patients with SSc: six with no or minimal bowel symptoms, seven with constipation, and three with diarrhoea and faecal incontinence. Eleven healthy women acted as control subjects. Pressure data were reco...

The paper summarises the results of laboratory testing of three commercially available magnetorheological (MR) fluids operated in the oscillatory squeeze mode. Tested fluids include the Basonetic 204 and Basonetic 4035 (BASF) and MRF-122EG (Lord Corporation). The oscillatory squeeze mode produces large forces at small displacements. This feature may be well utilised in fabrication of new MR dev...

The creep behavior of a binary Mg-15 wt.% Gd alloy was investigated over the temperature range from 523 K to 743 K, i.e., in both single-phase region (the hexagonal close-packed solid solution Mg) and two-phase plus Mg5Gd precipitates). prepared by squeeze casting technique. In higher range, at 723 specimens were treated situ annealing prior testing. At 673 below, tested cast state. interpreted...
