Characteristics of Q-switched cladding-pumped ytterbium-doped fiber lasers with different high-energy fiber designs

, 2001
We theoretically and experimentally analyze Q-switched cladding pumped ytterbium-doped fiber lasers designed for high pulse energies. We compare the extractable energy from two high-energy fiber designs: (1) single- or few-moded low-NA large mode area ...

Mitigating Creep Anisotropy and Enhancing Performance in Additively Manufactured Ni‐Based Superalloys: A Review

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing introduces pronounced microstructural and crystallographic anisotropy in Ni‐based superalloys, resulting in orientation‐dependent creep deformation and damage. This review identifies the key microstructural origins of creep anisotropy, examines their influence on dominant deformation mechanisms, and highlights processing ...

Osteoblast proliferation and maturation on bioactive fiber-reinforced composite surface

Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 2008
The objective of this study was to evaluate the proliferation and osteogenic potential of bone-marrow derived osteoblast-like cells on fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) substrates with and without bioactive glass surface modification. Three FRC materials were fabricated for the study: (a) grit-blasted FRC, (b) grit-blasted FRC with bidirectional net ...
