Nickel-based superalloys are widely employed to manufacture aero-engine turbines due to their high mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion and creep. Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) is a suitable manufacturing ...

The mechanical behaviour of unidirectional fibre-reinforced composites is typically assumed to be linear elastic before failure. However, these materials exhibit nonlinear responses while being loaded in the matrix and ...

We analysed the thermodiffusion phenomenon both numerically and experimentally for size-based separation of polystyrene microparticles. For model validation, we followed previously published numerical studies using ANSYS ...

Industry 4.0 provides increasing opportunities for manufacturing companies in servitization, which has led to the emergence of digital servitization. Several single case studies have suggested service design as a means to ...

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are at the heart of a nation’s wealth creation, employment generation and economic development. To help SMEs stay competitive in a fast-changing environment, researchers have ...

Importance. The potential association of schizophrenia with distinct retinal changes is of clinical interest but has been challenging to investigate because of a lack of sufficiently large and detailed cohorts. Objective. ...

The potential of Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) systems is usually evaluated based on recent metocean data and assuming the stationarity of the MRE resource. Yet, different studies in the literature have shown long-term ...

The development of cutting tools requires the knowledge of tribological phenomena at the tool – workpiece contact area. This knowledge is in dearth particularly for difficult-to-cut alloys like gamma titanium aluminide ...

Lightweight materials like Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) present certain challenges, mainly regarding the resultant surface integrity of the holes. Different techniques such as optimized tool geometries, machining ...

Experimental binary diffusion coefficients for short-chain alcohols in supercritical carbon dioxide were measured using the Taylor dispersion technique in a temperature range of 306.15 K to 331.15 K and along the 10.5 MPa ...
