in the present study, development of new asbestos-free brake pad using lingo-cellulosic fibers and nano aluminum oxide particles was investigated. variable factors were the type of lignocellulosic materials (jute, bagass and rice husk) and the size of aluminum particles (nano and micron). these newly formulated brake pads have been tested under the grey cast iron disc. friction coefficient and ...

Elastic plates can be described by a two-dimensional theory, if the characteristic length of the stress state along the plate, l; is much bigger than the plate thickness, h: If all elastic moduli of a laminated plate are of the same order, no matter how many lamina the plate has, then the normal to the mid-surface of the plane remain normal in the course of deformation, and the deformation of t...

In this paper, static and free vibrations behaviors of the orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) plates resting on the two-parameter elastic foundation are analyzed by the a mesh-free method based on the first order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT). The mesh-free method is based on moving least squares (MLS) shape functions and essential boundary conditions are imposed by transfer...

Shear rate has been shown to critically affect the kinetics and receptor specificity of cell-cell interactions. In this study, the collision process between two modeled cells interacting in a linear shear flow is numerically investigated. The two identical biological or artificial cells are modeled as deformable capsules composed of an elastic membrane. The cell deformation and trajectories are...

Epoxy ternary systems were prepared from the diglycidylether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA), epoxidized castor oil (ECO), and nano-CaCO3 using a thermally latent initiator. The effects of ECO and the nano-CaCO3 contents on the thermal stability and mechanical interfacial properties of the prepared DGEBA/ECO/nano-CaCO3 ternary systems were examined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Izod impact tests,...

in this study, dynamic buckling of embedded laminated nanocomposite plates is investigated. the plates are reinforced with single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) where to obtain the equivalent material properties of them, mori-tanaka model is applied. based on the sinusoidal shear deformation theory (ssdt), the motion equations are derived using energy method and hamilton's principal. the...

Carbon Nanotubes reinforced composite materials are widely used in aerospace engineering due to high strength-to-weight ratios, which can be tailored per requirements. The behaviour of the structures depends on various factors like, Lamination scheme, Ply orientation and loading conditions. In present work, Static deflection stresses analysis a Nano Tube laminated hybrid plate extends First Ord...
