Thermal Interaction Analysis Between Flexible Magnetic Abrasive Brush and Aluminium Alloy During Single-Pole MAF
Abstract: Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF) is a precision surface‐finishing approach that employs magnetic abrasive particles (MAPs) within a managed magnetic field to eliminate micro-level material and enhance surface condition. In the finishing process, the friction created between the workpiece and the flexible magnetic abrasive brush (FMAB) leads to heat accumulation, which may badly affect the surface integrity. This study focuses on investigating the temperature distribution at the FMAB–workpiece interface to decrease …

Nitrosamine Accumulation, Processing Variables, and Indigenous Plant Inhibitors in Nigerian Traditionally Processed Meats
Abstract: N-nitrosamines are classified as probable or possible human carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Carcinogenic N-nitrosamines — principally N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) — are formed in abundance during the preparation of widely consumed Nigerian traditional processed meats including suya, kilishi, and balangu. This original investigation combined a six geopolitical zone of Nigerian market survey with laboratory-controlled model system experiments, effects of processing parameters on N-Nitrosamine formation …

Structural Performance Evaluation of Circular Perforated Plates under Mechanical Loading
Abstract: Circular perforated plates are structurally critical components in aerospace, automotive, and marine sectors, where perforation-induced stress concentrations govern failure under mechanical loading. This study conducts a systematic finite element analysis of stress distribution, deformation, and interlaminar behavior in aluminum and glass-epoxy laminates ([−45/45/90/0]S and [−45/45/90/0]AS) under uniform transverse pressure with clamped-free boundary conditions. Four perforation configurations—no hole, central hole, single-series, and 25-hole grid—were evaluated using ANSYS Shell-181, verified against Kirchhoff–Love, …
