the brass tubes with foam cores of alsi7sic3, alsi7sic3fe1 and alsi7sic3fe3 were produced as the crush-boxes with circle and square cross-section. then axial compressive behavior and energy absorption capability of the foam-filled tubes were investigated during the quasi-static progressive plastic buckling. the uniaxial compressive stress–strain curves of the foam-filled brass tubes exhibited t...

User mobility characteristics and cell shapes in urban microcellular environments are different from those in macrocellular environments because pedestrians walk along streets and radio signals are guided by tall buildings lining both sides of the streets. Urban area microcell shapes follow approximately the street pattern. In this paper, we characterize low-tier user mobility in typical urban ...

foam injection is widely applied in amounts of fields to drilling, production, and formation protection. sometimes, the application result is disappointing, which is caused by the failure of bubble generation in foam flooding. therefore, it is necessary to seek ways for improving the performance of foam injection. an increased disturbance to the stratum, like the vibration caused by a seismic o...

in many processes polymeric foams can be produced by using chemical or physical blowing agents. in this work for polyethylene foam production, the chemical blowing agents and compression moulding process were employed. at first, by using dsc diagram of two polyethylene grades, a suitable polyethylene grade was selected for foam production and then we discuss about blowing agent critical percent...

The present work was aimed to examine the effects of incorporation of each of two different types of nanoclay, i.e. Cloisite Na+ and Cloisite 30B, into PVA foam on cellular morphology and water absorption capacity. Foam samples containing 0.0-10.0 wt% of each of the two types of nanoclay alone were prepared using mechanical foaming. Accordingly, PVA/organoclay/water suspensions were prepare...
