Self-organization during friction in complex surface engineered tribosystems is investigated. The probability of self-organization in these complex tribosystems is studied on the basis of the theoretical concepts of irreversible thermodynamics. It is shown that a higher number of interrelated processes within the system result in an increased probability of self-organization. The results of thi...

Various papers based on high performance concrete (HPC) and their behaviour were studied. HPC’s containing different mineral as well as chemical admixtures exhibits different properties in fresh as well as hardened states. Several factors determine these properties like: type of mineral as well as chemical admixture, type of aggregates, water-cement ratio, curing method etc. Each paper takes in...

Database system is mainly created for superhard cutting. In the paper, the processing time is considered as the objective function based on the issue needs, the establishing of the mathematical model of the cutting database system mainly takes cutting force, power tools, precision machining and tool life as constraints. And the database develops through the development software VS2008 and SQL S...

Due to the rapid industrialization taking place globally, the problems generated are acute shortage of construction material and increasing in productivity of wastes. The production and consumption of plastic and the rate at which solid plastic waste (SPW) are created have increased considerably. Plastics constitute 12.3% of total waste produced most of which is from discarded water bottles. Th...

An X-ray diffraction line will broaden considerably when steels change into martensitic structure on quenching. The results presented in this paper show that X-ray diffraction technique can be employed for a rapid and nondestructive measurement of hardness of hardened steel. Measurement on various quenched and tempered steels showed that the breadth of its diffraction peak increased with increa...
