Free Vibration Analysis of Moderate Thickness in Orthotropic Laminated Composite Plate Using FE Method
Abstract: This study presents the free vibration analysis of a composite laminated plate with respect to various parameters. Effect of orientation on a plate, effect of boundary conditions, effect of thickness to width ratio, effect of changing the number of ply on a plate and the effect of young’s modulus ratio are presented in this study. Classical boundary conditions are used to perform all the studies. Free vibration analysis of plate …

Optimization of Wear and Friction Parameters of Al-WC Composite Using Response Surface Methodology
Abstract: This paper aims to optimize the wear and friction parameters of Al-WC composite using response surface methodology. Initially dry sliding wear test on specimen of Al-0WC, Al-5WC, Al-8WC and Al-11WC composites were performed using pin-on-disc equipment under atmospheric conditions, with the varying parameters of the applied load 80KN and Sliding distance 6700m and the sliding velocity is kept constant of 3.34 m/s. The optimum parameters of wear mass loss and …

Principles and Use of Analytical Transmission Electron Microscope
Abstract: At the beginning of the review the analytical Transmission Electron Microscope is introduced. Equipment, imaging, diffraction and use of analytical TEM are described. Electron path under magnetic lens is delineated, emphasizing the lens aberrations, diffraction, astigmatism and gun brightness. Selected area electron diffraction patterns of Al-Cu and Inconel super alloy are used to index crystallographic planes and to derive zone direction while basic sources of diffraction contrast are depicted using …

The Effect of the Cyclic Steam Stimulation on the Thermal Cement Bond: Cased Hole Wire Logging Evaluation (Segmented versus Original) Tools
Abstract: When focusing on the oil thermal well life integrity, One of the current trends is to optimize the use of the innovative solutions in order to improve the quality of the cement bonding (i.e. cement to pipe bond and formation). This trend is in a trail application in Fula North East thermal wells in Sudanese oilfields. The objective of this paper is to discuss how the Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) …

Electrochemical Recovery of MnO2 from Spent Alkaline Batteries
Abstract: In the alkaline batteries of Zn/MnO2, the electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) is used as cathode that constitutes a very important part of household waste which contributes with heavy metals to the solid urban waste. This paper described the recovery of EMD by electro-oxidation on carbon cloth in acidic leached liquors from spent alkaline batteries. The maximum extraction for Mn and Zn were 43.68% (0.744 molL-1) and 56.11% (0.7321 molL-1) respectively. …
