Purpose - The aim of this paper is to study the tribological behaviour of Fe-C-Al cast iron at different temperatures using universal pin-on-disk machine. Design/methodology/approach - The cold set resin bonded sand mould casting process was employed to develop Fe-C-Al cast iron and Fe-C-Si cast iron. The microstructures of materials were studied u

This paper presents the control of suddenly expanded flow using four microjets at the base recirculation zone for a diameter ratio of 1.8. Eight Mach numbers are considered for investigations from 1.25 to 3. The NPRs for which the tests were conducted were from 3 to 11. The duct length considered was L = 10D to 1D. This article has shown only selec

In the present study, a surface layer of TiC-CNT hybrid compositecoating has been developed on low alloy steel (LAS) by using powder preplacement and tungsten inert gas (TIG) torch melting techniques.The weighed powder mixture with the content of 1.0 mg per millimeter square area and containing TiC- 4wt. % CNT particles was preplaced on LAS surface

In this invention, high performance multiple particle size silicon carbide reinforced aluminium composite brake rotor has been fabricated using a stir casting method in order to investigate the performance stability in terms of weight reduction, energy saving, lower temperature generation and less hot spot formation on the brake rotor surface. A ma

The main aim of this study is to develop light weight, eco-friendly and cheaper kenaf-glass (KG) fibers reinforced unsaturated polyester hybrid composite on a source of green composite using sheet molding compound process. Unsaturated polyester resin (UPE) and KG fibers in mat form were used at a ratio of 70:30 (by volume) with treated and untreate

Skyline query has been studied extensively and a significant number of skyline algorithms have been proposed, mostly attempt to resolve the optimisation problem that is mainly associated with reduction in the processing time of skyline computations. While databases change their states and/or structures throughout their lifetime to reflect the curre

This research deals with an evolution writing the story of Prophet Yusuf (Peace Be Upon Him) in Malay literature both ancient and modern. The story is featured in many manuscripts, history books and interpretation of Quran as named in the poets. In addition, there are studies and researchs to reveal his character, beauty, patience towards each tria

In this paper, the state feedback control design problem for tracking control of a flexible link manipulator is considered. The calculation of state feedback control gains is conventionally handled by pole placement method or LQR method via Riccati equation. Unfortunately, they still possess trial and error approach of choosing some parameters. Par

This paper explores the clash of the theologies in modern Malaysia by examining the history of Islamic theology in the country1 HIKMA Journal of Islamic Theology and Religious Education Zeitschrift für Islamische Theologie und Religionspädagogik Hikma Editor / Herausgeber: Bülent Ucar VOLUME IV, NUMBER 6, APRIL 2013 JAHRGANG 4, HEFT 6, APRIL 201

In this invention, lightweight composite brake rotor is fabricated using a stir casting method in order to investigate the performance stability in terms of temperature rise and hot spot generation on the brake rotor surface and comparison of actual braking test and simulation result. A mathematical model is also developed to predict the influence
