Experimental Setup to Determine Stress Wave Propagation in a Compound Bar
Abstract: Deformation undergone by a body due to impact results in development of dynamic stresses. This deformation depends on the material properties and geometry. Advancements made in stress wave propagation are focused at the necessity to understand dynamic history of structures subjected to applied loads. Stress travels with different velocities in different bodies depending upon material characteristics, crystal structure etc. Forces applied on bodies at short intervals of time result in …

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH IN NOBAKE SAND
Abstract: No bake molds are expendable sand molds, similar to typical sand moulds, except they also contain a quick-setting liquid resin and catalyst. In no bake molding process the moulding sand is poured into the flask and held until the resin solidifies, which occurs at room temperature. It is called as a cold-setting process, as there is no heat involved in it. As a result of this molding process, mold produced …

Study of Mechanical and Tribological Properties of CSAp Reinforced LM25 MMC
Abstract: Aluminum Matrix Composites (AMCs) allude to the sort of light weight elite aluminum driven material matrix. AMCs comprise of a non-metallic reinforcement which included into aluminum grid which offers worthwhile properties over base material. Reinforcements like Sic, CSAp, B4C, Al2O3, TiC, TiB2, TiO2 are typically liked to enhance the mechanical properties. Here aluminum LM25 is chosen as framework material, while coconut shell powder is chosen as support (reinforcement) material. Coconut …
