This paper focuses on effects of roughness on wettability. According to Wenzel's equation, the transition of theoretical wetting contact angles is 90°, whereas many experimental results have indicated that such a transition takes place at contact angles smaller than 90°. A new model of wetting on roughness surface is…

Abstract The corrosion failure behavior of marine steel is affected by stress, which exists in offshore structures at sea‐mud region. The sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) in the sea‐mud made the steel more sensitive to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and weaken the corrosion fatigue endurance. In this paper, a kind of…

A fabric is a flexible material that it is highly affected by its own weight, which causes large deflections. The relationship between the bending moment and the curvature is nonlinear. This study presents a model for fabric buckling by considering the flexibility of the fabric as well as its nonlinearity in bending.…

Femtosecond pulses of a Cr:forsterite laser are used to study second-and third-harmonic generation in a layer of single-wall carbon nanotubes produced by low-velocity spraying. The harmonic amplitude in our experiments scales as ( I p ) n as a function of the pump intensity I p , with n =2 and 3 for the second and thi…

We propose using zeolite filter in portable processing equipment to separate and recover SF/sub 6/ from SF/sub 6//N/sub 2/ mixtures. Testing of a prototype filter has shown that SF/sub 6/ is completely adsorbed by the filter, and the exhaust gas from the filter is pure N/sub 2/ (i.e., at an undetectable level of SF/su…
