A Novel Technique for Improved Recovery of Mg-Analysis of the Microstructure and Physical Properties
Abstract: Aluminium-Magnesium alloys are used widely in industrial applications as well as for the preparation of metal matrix composite because of their low density and high specific strength. Magnesium has a low boiling point and the recovery of magnesium is poor when it is added in pure form particularly as cheaply available turnings to the liquid metal. Magnesium is added to aluminium for increasing its wettability and thus helping in uniformly …

Ascendancy of connecting assymmetrical r.c. towers using sky bridges in improving the dynamic response
Abstract: Structures constructed to serve similar purposes adjacently, are often connected to each other. These connections may be sometimes in the form of sky-bridges. Connecting the structures with each other does not cause any modification in the behaviour of the structures in the static condition, but such modification may cause huge effects on the structural behaviour under dynamically activated condition. This article basically deals with study of connected structures, when connected …
