In this study, waste powder output of wet cutting stage in GFRP pipe production was used instead of CaCO3 filler traditionally used in PVC pipe production. Waste includes silicon dioxide (SiO2), glass fibre and polyester ...

Non-planar crack propagation analyses for thin-walled structures containing multiple cracks are performed using Fracture and Crack Propagation Analysis System (FCPAS) finite element software. Numerical results from FCPAS, ...

The feasibility of using artificial neural networks (ANN) in the prediction of head reduction of centrifugal pumps handling slurries is examined. An ANN model is proposed and compared with the empirical correlation given ...

In this study, the influence of wax content on the electrical, thermal and tribological properties of a polyamide 6 composite filled with 15% wt. graphite was investigated. The wax filler contents of the composite were by ...

The convective heat transfer characteristics for a periodic wavy channel have been investigated experimentally and numerically. Finite volume method was used in numerical study. Experiment results are used for validation ...

Chopped bamboo-reinforced epoxy composites were fabricated and tested to investigate their tribological properties. Three different weight fractions of 6%, 8% and 10% were used as reinforcement in the composites. Wear ...

Landmines severely threaten the armoured vehicles. The principal objective is to present a methodology for blast simulations of vehicles subjected to landmine explosions. First, free field blast experiment of 2 kg TNT ...

In order to optimally design a slurry transportation system, it is necessary to know how the presence of solids will change the performance of the slurry pump to be installed. This paper makes the comparison of some existing ...

In this study structural strength and fatigue life estimation of Y32 bogie frame were examined by finite element method. A static structural and fatigue life simulation were performed according to TS EN 13749 standard. The ...
