Pure aluminium poses inferior properties that limit its use in load-bearing applications. Reinforcing multiwall carbon nano-tube (solid lubricant) and graphene to aluminium matrix offers better (antifriction, hardness, and wear resistance) properties...

Artificial knee joints play a critical role in improving the quality of life of the elderly and those with knee injuries. Such knee joints are fabricated using a composite material consisting of metal alloy particles and polymer resin and are general...

This study presents a comprehensive investigation into optimizing Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding parameters to enhance the mechanical performance of the widely used Al-6061 T6 alloy, specifically in a double V joint configuration with a plate thick...

This study investigates how various 3D printing parameters influence mechanical properties, specifically strength in compression and low-velocity impact (LVI) tests, and identifies the best printing parameters (layer thickness, nozzle diameter, and i...

Pavement humidity warping is a critical factor limiting the application of PPRBAC on low-volume roads. A nonlinear wet-warping stress formula for PPRBAC slabs has been derived based on previous experimental results, and the finite element method was...

Lightweight PLA (LW-PLA) filaments enable material-saving designs in fused filament fabrication (FFF), yet optimizing their mechanical performance remains challenging due to temperature-sensitive foaming behavior. This study aims to enhance the struc...

Laser cladding technology serves as a pivotal technique in industrial production, especially in the realms of additive manufacturing, surface enhancement, coating preparation, and the repair of part surfaces. This study investigates the influence of...

The wear performance of jute/coir unsaturated polyester composites, filled with eggshell powder (ESP) and nanoclay (NC), were examined, concentrating on two measured parameters, coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate (WR). To assess the possibil...

This study focuses on improving the fatigue strength and overall performance of sustainable biopolymer polylactic acid (PLA) components manufactured via Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) additive manufacturing process. PLA, as a biodegradable and rene...

Compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling stations operate under highly dynamic thermodynamic conditions, requiring accurate modeling and optimization to ensure efficient performance. In this study, a dynamic simulation model of a CNG station was develo...

Laser weld quality remains a critical priority across nearly all industries. However, identifying optimal laser parameter sets continues to be highly challenging, often relying on costly, time-consuming trial-and-error experiments. This difficulty is...
