functionally graded aluminium/zirconia metal matrix composite was fabricated using stir casting technique followed by horizontal centrifugal casting process and a hollow cylindrical functionally graded composite (150 x 150 x 16 mm) was obtained with centrifuging speed of 1200 rpm. the microstructural evaluation and hardness test was carried out on the outer and inner surface of the functionally...

A novel approach based on full-field indentation measurements to characterize and quantify the effect of contact in thin plates is presented. The proposed method has been employed to evaluate the indentation damage generated in the presence of bending deformation, resulting from the contact between a thin plate and a rigid sphere. For this purpose, the 3D Digital Image Correlation (3D-DIC) tech...

Remediation of slope failures requires stabilization alternatives that address causes of slope instability. Slope reinforcement and pile stabilization systems, if properly designed, are effective in preventing slope movements in weak soils. Soil load transfer to pile elements from the lateral soil movement as occurs in slope failures is a complex soil-structure interaction problem, and the sign...

This research presents an experimental investigation of the rehabilitation efficiency damaged hybrid reinforced concrete beams with openings in shear region. The study investigates difference retrofitting ability compared to traditional and effect two one opening equalized holes area. Five RC classified into groups, A B, were primarily tested full-failure under two-point loads. first group (A) ...

Let Θ = C[e−x1 , . . . , e−xn ][∂1, . . . , ∂n] and S = C[x1, . . . , xn][[eCx1+···+Cxn ]], where C is an effective field and xN 1 · · · x N n e Cx1+···+Cxn and S are given a suitable asymptotic ordering 4. Consider the mapping L : S → Sl ; f 7→ (L1 f, . . . , Ll f ), where L1, . . . , Ll ∈ Θ . For g = (g1, . . . , gl ) ∈ Sl L = im L , it is natural to ask how to solve the system L f = g. In th...
