Lap joints of commercially pure magnesium plates to aluminium plates (Magnesium plate on the top, and Aluminium plate, grade 1100, on the bottom side) were conducted by friction stir welding using various traveling and rotation speeds of the tool to investigate the effects of the welding parameters on the joint characteristics and strength. Defect-free lap joints were obtained in the welding tr...

Objectives: Ceramics have advantages such as optimal esthetics and biocompatibility. However, in the oral environment, they are subjected to high levels of stress due to masticatory forces, saliva, thermal changes and alterations of pH, which increase their risk of fracture. Since replacement of these restorations is costly and time-consuming, composite resin is often used for intraoral repair ...

composite couple beams are the concrete elements consisting of longitudinal bars and steel plate, therefore suitable for shear transferring in couple shear walls with arranged gates in its height. in this paper, after modeling couple beams with and without steel plates with f.e methods and calibration the models with experimental results, effects of parameters such as thickness, height, length ...

in this study, the performance of shred tire mixed with railway subgrade is evaluated to reduce environmental vibrations caused by trains’ passage. since incorporating the shred tire seeds in soil affects on its shear strength and deformability parameters so, the first stage of the study was allocated to conducting a series of laboratory tests such as the unconfined compression test, and cbr an...

subgrade soil stabilization is one of the primary and major processes in the construction of any highway; also environmental authorities are concerned about the growing amount of polyethylene (pet) bottles produced by household sectors. this research in order to study effect of adding recycled polyester fiber on soil engineering properties, especially shear strength and california bearing ratio...

the dynamic probe is an effective tool used in site investigation. it is more economic than the use of direct drilling, particularly in explorations with moderate depth. this paper presents an experimental study to investigate the capability of using dynamic probing to evaluate the shear strength and compaction percent of fine soil. a series of dynamic probe tests were carried out at 6 differen...

multiple adhesive coating is a controversial topic, especially in primary dentition that should be clarified. we evaluated the effect of multiple consecutive adhesive resin coatings on the microshear bond strength (μsbs) of composite resin to primary tooth dentin utilizing a filled (adper single bond plus) and an unfilled (adper single bond) adhesive resin.thirty extracted primary canines were ...

objective:   the aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength between metal brackets and non-glazed ceramic with three different surface treatment methods. materials and methods: forty-two non-glazed ceramic disks were assigned into three groups. group i and ii specimens were etched with 9.5% hydrofluoric acid. subsequently in group i, silane and adhesive were applied and in group ii, bo...

background and aims. the aim of the present study was to compare the effect of surface treatment with er; cr:yssg, nd:yag, and co2 lasers on repair shear bond strength of a silorane-based composite resin. materials and methods. sixty eight cylindrical samples of a silorane-based composite resin (filtek silorane) were prepared and randomly divided into 4 groups as follows: group 1: without surfa...
