The approach taken in this paper is twofold. First manufacturing environment is simplified for the purposes of planning and control without losing any of the essential characteristics. Second, a simple GT model is applied ...

Surface preparation techniques such as plasma spraying, physical vapour deposition and chemical vapour deposition have been used to make convenient material combinations for the use in high-technology requirements. ...

Advanced ceramics such as alumina are widely in use in the design of components for high engineering applications mainly because of their high wear resistance, high compressive strength, low specific density and high ...

Alumina is widely selected in the design of components for high engineering applications mainly because of its high wear resistance, high compressive strength, low specific density and high temperature capability. Processing ...

In the last decade many researchers have been carried out on semi-active control systems, a large number of academic publications have been presented. Semi-active control systems which are used the magnetic field controlled ...

In this investigation, a transient thermal and structure finite element solution has been employed to analyse the level of the thermal stresses developed in plasma coating systems subjected to thermal loading. Plasma coating ...
