Study of Ceramic Slurries for Investment Casting with Ice Patterns [PDF]
Ice patterns generated by rapid freeze prototyping or a molding process can be used to make ceramic investment molds for metal castings. Due to the use of ice, the ceramic slurries must be poured around the pattern and cured at sub-freezing ...

On the micro mechanics of one-dimensional normal compression [PDF]
Discrete-element modelling has been used to investigate the micro mechanics of one-dimensional compression. One-dimensional compression is modelled in three dimensions using an oedometer and a large number of particles, and without the use of ...

Reliability analysis of structural ceramic components using a three-parameter Weibull distribution [PDF]
Described here are nonlinear regression estimators for the three-Weibull distribution. Issues relating to the bias and invariance associated with these estimators are examined numerically using Monte Carlo simulation methods.

Effect of different lignocellulosic fibres on poly(ε-caprolactone)-based composites for potential applications in orthotics [PDF]
This work compares the mechanical and thermal behaviour of fully biodegradable biocomposites based on polycaprolactone reinforced with three different natural fibres, namely hemp, sisal and coir, for potential applications in the field of orthoses.

Stochastic Stick - Slip Model Linking Crustal Shear Strength and Earthquake Interevent Times [PDF]
The current understanding of the earthquake interevent times distribution (ITD) is incomplete. The Weibull distribution is often used to model the earthquake ITD.

Stochastic fracture of additively manufactured porous composites
Extrusion-based fused deposition modeling (FDM) introduces inter-bead pores into dense materials, which results in part-to-part mechanical property variations, i.e., low mechanical reliability.

Effect of pyrolytic carbon interphase on mechanical properties of mini T800-C/SiC composites
The effect of pyrolytic carbon (PyC) thickness on the tensile property of mini T800 carbon fiber reinforced SiC matrix composites (C/SiC) was studied. PyC interphase was prepared by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) process using C3H6–Ar as gas source ...
