The selection of most proper materials in engineering design is known as an important stage of the design process. In order to successfully complete this stage, it is necessary to have sufficient knowledge about the structure ...
In the casting of liquid metal, the feeding stops when the mushy zone is clogged and does not allow the transfer of feeding liquid. The growing resistance of the solid dendrites against the fluidity of the feeding liquid ...

Friction welding was applied to dissimilar aluminum cast bars alloyed with 2 and 8% copper and the effects of upset time on joint properties were evaluated in this study. The welding process was carried out by a vertical ...
The treatment of liquid aluminum prior to casting typically consists of purging gas and/or fluxes through the melt. By the use of several chemicals during these operations, several environmental problems can occur. Therefore, ...

The results showed that the CFS values for solidifying aluminium alloys may vary from 34 % to 57 % depending on the casting conditions. The results also showed that for A356 aluminium-alloy castings the CFS value is not ...
The wear and friction performance of GUR 1020 grade ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) polymer was studied in distilled water, HASS (Hank's balanced salt solution) and several protein lubrication environments. ...
The friction and wear properties of pure poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene (PTFE), 35% carbon filled poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene (PTFE+35%C), and 17% glass fiber-reinforced polytetra- fluoro-ethylene (PTFE+17% GFR) sliding against ...
In this study, the performance of boric acid (H3BO3)-filled polyamide composites were studied and evaluated at dry-sliding friction conditions. Wear tests were carried out using configuration of composite pin on a rotating ...

This study reports the results of an experimental study conducted to determine composite cements manufactured with the combination of Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) Slag and Blast Furnace Slag (BFS). The overall objective of ...
Since the cement industry emits large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the sector is recently under scrutiny. This study empirically investigates the co-integration and the causality relationships between ...
This paper reports on the results of an experimental study conducted to evaluate the physical properties and strength development of composite cements manufactured with a steel slag (SS) and blast-furnace slag (BFS) ...
Influence of high temperature on the properties of concrete containing non-ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS) and coal bottom ash (BA) as fine aggregate was presented. Six series of concrete mixtures were prepared ...

Construction performance parameters have experienced greater international attention and discussion in recent years. In this study, the change in the load-bearing system cost of a reinforced concrete housing estate building ...
The construction industry in countries experiencing severe economic crisis has vital importance to get out of stagnation because of its direct relations with 200 different sectors. In this study, the relationship between ...
Priority rules are one of the frequently used methods in project programming with resource-constraints. In this paper, the effects of project size and number of resource constraints on project duration are compared to the ...
The heuristic method is one of the methods used for the scheduling of resource-constrained projects. This method is commonly used in programming the projects with high number of activities and resources such as construction ...
Concrete structures built on sulfate rich soil or wetland, or directly exposed to seawater are subjected to sulfate attack, which might be critical, as the durability of concrete is highly dependent on its resistance against ...
This paper reports an experimental study of tribological characteristics of cylinder liner (CL)/piston ring (PR) pair. Reciprocating wear process parameters are optimized for minimum weight loss and friction based on mixed ...
Seat belt use habit has been investigated according to the education level of drivers. Copies of a questionnaire were distributed to 1000 participants of four different education levels. Factors such as seat belt usage ...
In this study, a steady-state thermal analysis was performed to evaluate the temperature gradients in the standard and two different partially stabilized ceramic coated pistons by using Abaqus (c) finite element (FE) ...
