Effects of fluids on material removal rate, chipping damage, and surface roughness in the simulated clinical‐dental machining of a dental‐type glass ceramic were investigated. Significant differences in removal rate were obtained among the fluids investigated, but only a 4 wt% boric acid solution gave a higher removal…

The combination of hysteresis and permanent-magnet materials in the rotor of a self-starting synchronous motor makes the motor analysis very difficult due to its inherent nonlinearity. This paper presents the simulation results of the transient performance of permanent magnet hysteresis synchronous (PMHS) motors. The…

The effects of vacancy depletion and solute atom depletion on the microstructural evolution of the precipitation-free zone (PFZ) near the grain boundary have been examined by Monte Carlo simulations with Kawasaki dynamics. The solute depletion caused by a precipitation of stable phase at grain boundaries lead to a wel…

Upon the commencement of the analytical effort to characterize the impact dynamics and damage of the Space Shuttle Columbia leading edge due to External Tank insulating foam, the necessity of creating analytical descriptions of these materials became evident. To that end, material models were developed of the leading…

Abstract Multilayer thin films prepared from weak polyelectrolytes can exhibit a rich suite of anomalous physicochemical properties. One of the major factors that influence the properties of such films is the acid/base chemistry of the weak functional groups of the poly- electrolytes. In fact, the apparent dissociatio…

Abstract The end form of produced cloth depends on the qualities of the build material and its con-struction requirements. These can be estimated subjectively or objectively after the cloth is fi nished. The drape of the fabrics and the fused panel is one of the most signifi cant proper-ties which characterise the sha…
