Deformed under optimum conditions of temperature and strain rate, coarse-grained aluminum alloys show elongation to failure in excess of 300%. The strain rate sensitivity index and the activation energy point to solute drag creep as the principal mechanism, a mechanism that has virtually no grain size dependence. The…

Abstract ESR measurements were made with vulcanized rubbers of a gum, three carbon black filled and a silica filled compounds. The radicals in the filled rubbers were found to have long lives unlike the gum rubber. Carbon black was found to reduce the sensitivity of ESR due to shielding effect in the magnetic field. T…

The preparation and spectroscopic studies of Cu2+ in xPbO-(100−x) B2O3 non-linear optical glassy system have been studied. From IR studies, it is observed at low concentration of PbO (less than 40 mole%), it acts as a glass modifier. At higher concentration, it takes part in the network. The hyperfine splitting in the…

This article presents partial discharge testing of medium voltage cables. Utility engineers are faced with decision on whether to replace some of the older cables in their underground distribution systems. Today, measurement of PD at voltages above 1 Vg on extruded cables more than fifteen years old may not indicate t…

Five types of non‐symmetric calamitic dimers were synthesized to investigate the effect of the core structure and length of the spacer on mesomorphic properties. Two non‐symmetric dimers containing a troponoid and benzenoid unit showed smectic A and C phases whereas the corresponding benzenoid dimers showed no mesopha…
