in this article, failure and fracture mechanisms in an aluminum alloy (which has been used in diesel internal combustion engines), with and without ceramic thermal barrier coatings, have been investigated under isothermal and non-isothermal fatigue loadings. in this research, the base material is an aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy and the thermal barrier coating includes a metallic bond coat l...

The influence of burrow spacing on sedimentary nitrification and denitrification was simulated experimentally using sediment plugs of different thicknesses immersed in aerated seawater reservoirs. Different plug thicknesses mimic different distances between oxygenated burrow centers and produce similar changes in aerobic–anaerobic reaction balances as a function of diffusive transport scaling. ...

‎the problem of two-phase mhd boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer over a stretching sheet with fluid-particle suspension and thermal radiation has been studied. the effect of mass transfer in dusty fluid over a stretching sheet is considered for the first time. the governing equations are reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations under suitable similarity transforma...

In this research, an apparatus was designed and constructed in order to simulate the storage behavior of hand-woven carpet under different environmental conditions. Silk hand-woven carpet (“Gom”) with 115×75 cm dimensions and 102×97 knot per 10 cm was selected and then inserted into the packing simulator with two different laying configurations including flat and folded....
