In this work, the feasibility of using an industrial fluidized bed furnace to perform low temperature thermochemical treatments of austenitic stainless steels has been studied, with the aim to produce expanded austenite layers with combined wear and corrosion resistance, similar to those achievable by plasma and gaseous processes. Several low tempe

This paper investigates the modal properties of car panels using finite element approach. The Finite Element models of the vehicle parts have been developed using the finite element of the fully car assembly model information and adapting it to our requirement. The modal analysis was performed to the natural frequencies and mode shapes. It is a req

The successive rounds of multilateral trade negotiations have resulted in significant tariff reductions in many countries. Malaysia is no exception as the applied most-favoured-nation tariff rate in her agricultural sector in 2009 is relatively low, averaging at 2.8 percent.Despite the reduction in tariff barrier, the incidence of non-tariff barrie

The successive rounds of multilateral trade negotiations have resulted in significant tariff reductions in many countries. Malaysia is no exception as its trade weighted average tariff rate in 2008 is relatively low at 6.3 percent. Despite the reduction in tariff barrier, the incidence of non-tariff barriers (NTBs) in the country’s manufacturing
