Single lap joint is among the most widely used adhesively bonded joint type for both non-structural and structural applications. Considering the strength and efficiency of such joint, good understanding of the adhesive behavior and stress analysis of the joint is very important, especially for the overlapped bonded area in the lap joint. Apparent s

Mechanochemical synthesis of two or more different precursors is a simple method to prepare metallic alloys, polymer and ceramic composite materials. This mechanical reaction based synthesis also has been employed to produce hydroxyapatite (HA) powder for bone implant application. In this present study, we employed mechanochemical method to synthes

The encryption process combines mathematics and computer science. Cryptography consists of a set of algorithms and techniques to convert the data into another form so that the contents are unreadable and unexplainable to anyone who does not have the authority to read or write on these data.
