To our knowledge, here is the first time that Stellite SF12-Si3N4-B4C-Ce2O3 powders are deposited on a TA1 titanium alloy as the composites by a laser melted deposition (LMD) technique. It is noted that compared with a TA1 alloy substrate, an improvement of cyclic oxidation resistance is obtained for such LMD composit…

We present a numerical study of the film casting process, with a focus on the effect of the draw ratio on the swelling of the extruded sheet. So far, studies regarding film casting have dealt mainly with the phenomenon of neck-in and have neglected swelling of the material as it emerges from the die lips. Knowledge of…

We investigate the use of graded inhomogeneities in order to enhance the focusing and collimation performance of structure-embedded acoustic metamaterial lenses. The type of inhomogeneity exploited in this study consists in axial symmetric exponential-like gradients of either material or geometric properties that crea…

This paper proposes the free vibration analysis of Double-Walled Carbon Nano Tubes (DWCNTs). A continuum elastic three-dimensional shell model is used for natural frequency investigation of simply supported DWCNTs. The 3D shell method is compared with beam analyses to show the applicability limits of 1D beam models. T…
