The thermal expansion behaviour of silicon carbide (SCS-2) fibre reinforced 6061 aluminium matrix composite subjected to the influenced thermal mechanical cycling (TMC) process were investigated. The thermal stress has important effect on the longitudinal thermal expansion coefficient of the composites. The present paper used experimental data of the thermal expansion behaviour of a SiC/Al comp...

In this paper the principle and experimental process of the infrared thermal wave nondestructive testing (NDT) on carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide (Cf /SiC) ceramic matrix composite sample are demonstrated. The experiment results compared with X-ray testing results show that the infrared thermal wave NDT is an effective method for the Cf /SiC ceramic matrix composite, and it can be used ...

Introduction: Posterior composites are one of the most popular filling materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the problems of general dentists during and after posterior composite restorations in city of Babol. Materials &Methods: In this study, data were collected using questionnaire about the problems during and after posterior composite filling. Then data were analyzed by chi sq...

In this paper, the production of Al2O3-Mo nano-composites via mechanical milling was investigated. Molybdenum and alumina powders with certain ratios were grounded in a planetary ball mill at different times. XRD technique was used to determine the crystallite size of the milled powders. The microstructure of milled powders was studied using optical and electron microscopes. The crystallite siz...

In this research, the effect of different biopolymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) on synthesis and characterization of polymer/cobalt ferrite (CF) nano-composites bymechanical alloying method has been systematically investigated. The structural, morphological andmagnetic properties changes during mechanical milling were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD),Fo...

In this paper, a new class of composite systems, called switched composite systems, whose subsystems are switched systems is proposed. This class of systems can be viewed as a natural extension of both composite systems and switched systems. We design decentralized switching laws for this class of systems to be asymptotically stable. For general composite systems, decentralized hybrid state fee...

Effects of modifying oil palm mesocarp fibers (OPMF) by methacrylate silane on polylactic acid (PLA)/ polycaprolactone (PCL)/clay/OPMF hybrid composites were investigated. The composites were prepared by a melt blending technique and characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The silane-treated OPMF hybrid composites showed better tensile strength...

This study is purposed with the preparation of polyacrylamide/Polypyrrole hydrogel composite, in which the hydrogel of crosslinked polyacrylamide is a matrix and Polypyrrole is an electro-conducting component. The effects of synthesis conditions on the structure of the composite systems, their ability to swell in water, and mechanical characteristics are studied. The proposed synthesis procedur...

Filler –matrix coupling determines, to a large extent, the mechanical strength and clinical longevity of dental composites. Incorporation of filler into resin matrix greatly influences and improves material properties provided that filler particles are bonded to polymer matrix or otherwise it may actually weaken the resin. Benefits of filler content presence are increased hardness, strength, ra...

Micromechanical models are developed to predict the time and temperature dependent response of woven composite substrates used in multilayer printed circuit boards. In the first part of this study, the elastic–viscoelastic correspondence principle is applied to previously reported elastic micromechanical models. The time-dependent creep compliance of a particular composite substrate (7628 style...
