The data presented herein are compiled of the research summary of "Staple-wire-reinforced high-volume fly-ash cement paste composites" (Aydin, in preparation) [1]. This data article provides general information about the novel high volume fly ash cement paste composites composed of various volume of staple wires. The dataset here also helps the readers to understand the mechanisms of staple wir...

Experiments involving vibrating pastes before drying were performed for the purposes of controlling the crack patterns that appear in the drying process. These experiments revealed a transition in the direction of lamellar cracks from perpendicular to parallel when compared with the direction of the initial external vibration as the solid volume fraction of the paste is decreased. This result s...

This study examined the use of ultrasonication to improve the injectability of an aqueous calcium phosphate paste. Ultrasonication was applied to the paste through the plunger of the delivery syringe. A factorial design of experiments with three investigated factors, liquid to powder ratio (LPR) (38%, 39% and 40%), the size of the delivery syringe (5 and 10 ml) and the amplitude of the 20 kHz p...

This paper proposes an advanced cut-and-paste editing for three-dimensional models. We introduce a new parameterization technique based on constrained B-spline surface/volume fitting. Our cut-and-paste editing is performed on this parameterization. In our method, a parametric volume is generated so that its isoparametric surface fits to the base surface and the volume bounds the detail. Our vol...

Polyol-ester-based carbon black pastes are used to either coat or penetrate flexible graphite, thereby increasing the thermal contact conductance of flexible graphite between copper surfaces. Paste penetration by up to an effective paste thickness (the volume of the penetrated paste divided by the geometric area of the flexible graphite) of 5 lm increases the conductance by up to 350%, 98% and ...

Controlled low strength material (CLSM) is gaining increasing importance with the growing emphasis on sustainability in construction industry. CLSM can be a valuable application for the safe and efficient use of nonstandard materials such as industrial by-products, which are normally rejected for conventional concrete due to the negative impact on hardened properties. In the present study, a la...

The effect of a short heat treatment on hydrated cement paste has been investigated by measuring the weight and length changes of specimens as they undergo various combinations of heating, drying, and resaturation. Heating a cement paste to 60°C coarsens the capillary pore system, decreases the volume of mesopores, and increases the degree of polymerization of the silicates. In addition, the sa...

The common cause of cracking in cement paste is shrinkage due to different reasons, such as loss water and chemical reactions. Incorporating limestone fines (LF) a replacement can affect the paste. To examine this effect, five mixes were prepared with 0, 5, 10, 15 20% LF water-to-binder ratio (w/b) 0.45. Four volume stability tests conducted for each paste: chemical, autogenous drying expansion...

Size. With traditional paste die attach, the adhesive forms a fi llet around the chip. This is a useful visual indicator to confi rm that suffi cient adhesive has been applied. It also increases the die shear strength by supporting the side of the die. However, the fi llet effectively increases the footprint area of the chip, which means that any packaging must be slightly larger than the die i...

Handling highly concentrated solid-liquid two-phase fluids in microfluidics is challenging. In this paper, we present the first studies of flowing solder paste with a high solid content in a transparent high-pressure tolerant glass chip, thereby increasing the understanding of how multiphase liquids with high density difference between the phases behave in small channels (840 μm in diameter). T...
