Effective elastic properties for carbon nanotube reinforced composites are obtained through a variety of micromechanics techniques. An embedded carbon nanotube  in  a  polymer  matrix  and  its surrounding  interphase  is  replaced with an equivalent fiber for  predicting  the  mechanical  properties of  the  carbon  nanotube/polymer composite. The effects of an interphase layer between the nan...

Welding procedures for repairing corroded tubular structures are commonly used; however, composite material repairs becoming popular since they do not use heat sources that might cause accidents. This paper provides a detailed description of the CFRP patch repair application in steel members with circular perforation originated from prolonged corrosion process. The results experimental tests on...

A running-in and starved lubrication experiment is designed to investigate the heavy-duty scuffing behavior of piston ring coatings against cast iron (Fe) cylinder liner using the piston ring reciprocating liner test rig. The scuffing resistance of the piston ring with the chromium-based ceramic composite coating (CKS), and that with the thermally sprayed nickel-chromium-molybdenum coating (NCM...

Organic phase change material (PCM) with macro-encapsulation is attractive in energy storage applications as it has relatively low cost. This study focuses on using PET plastic pipes to encapsulate paraffin and using low-cost float stones to increase the thermal conductivity of PCM modules as they have a special structure of high porosity. Float stones were immersed in the liquid PCM and an ult...

Aims. In this paper we study the dynamics of toroidal flux tubes emerging from the solar interior, through the photosphere and into the corona. Many previous theoretical studies of flux emergence use a twisted cylindrical tube in the solar interior as the initial condition. Important insights can be gained from this model, however, it does have shortcomings. The axis of the tube never fully eme...

We establish the solvability of second order divergence type parabolic systems in Sobolev spaces. The leading coefficients are assumed to be only measurable in one spatial direction on each small parabolic cylinder with the spatial direction allowed to depend on the cylinder. In the other orthogonal directions and the time variable, the coefficients have locally small mean oscillations. We also...

In this paper a novel analytical method is applied to the problem of transient heat conduction in a one-dimensional hollow composite cylinder with a timedependent boundary temperature. It is known that for such problems in general, the underlying eigenvalue and residue calculations pose a challenge in practice because of the computational requirements especially for a cylinder with many layers....

The economy is very important feature nowadays in the market. The researches are playing an important role in engineering field to increase the life of machine parts / components and decrease the cost. The composite materials have the potential to replace widely used steel and aluminium due to their good characteristics with better performance. The Al-based composites have found extensive appli...

Abstract Most of common thermal jackets for gun tubes are composite types, which have large mass and complex structures. With the development material technology, a single-layer jacket using new materials with low conductivity has good protection effects on tubes. The design requires consideration thickness, air gap, properties structural strength. In order to study factors that affect performa...
