  Experimental Assessment and Statistical Argument of Al-Si/CSA/MoS2 Hybrid Composites for Mechanical and Tribological Characteristics

  By Sivasankara Raju Rallabandi, Srinivasa Rao Gunji, Lakshmi Srinivas Chennupati, Suresh Gamini, Mukthikanta Panigrahi, Ashok Darsigunta

  Abstract: To augment the mechanical and tribological properties of Al-Si matrix composites complement with molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) and coconut shell ash (CSA), a mixed experimental and Face-Centered Composite (FCC)strategy was employed. A liquid metallurgical method called stir casting was used to create hybrid composites with 5–15 wt.% CSA and 1–3 wt.% MoS₂. A FCC experimental design with thirty runs was used to thoroughly evaluate the materials. This design allowed for the …

  Sustainable High-Strength Geopolymer Composite Reinforced with Nano-Silica and Basalt Fibers: Mechanical and Microstructural Evaluation

  By Moulya H V, Ashwini Satyanarayana, Shivanand C G

  Abstract: Sustainable soil composites (SSC) were formulated by incorporating red earth with varying proportions of bagasse ash (BA) and hydrated lime to enhance geotechnical performance and promote the reuse of agro-industrial waste. Red earth served as the primary structural matrix, BA functioned as a pozzolanic filler, and lime acted as a chemical stabilizer. BA content ranged from 0% to 60%, identifying 10% as the optimum level for significant improvement, and lime …
