Microwave sintering of pure iron with addition of stearic acid as binder
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the stearic acid as binder in sintering pure iron using a microwave furnace. The study was focused in mechanical properties such as porosity, density and micro-hardness ...
Real-time control of automotive engine fuelled with Malaysian palm oil biodiesel
(Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l., 2012)
With the rapid decline in energy resources, the increasing environmental concerns, and the high demand of energy consumption, many countries have been looking for alternative energy to substitute fossil fuel. One of the ...
Vibration analysis of blocked circular pipe flow
(Trans Tech Publications (TTP), 2012)
Pipes are found in almost all buildings and constructions where they are used to convey fluid to a desired location. Liquid containing foreign objects and impurities will sometimes creates unintentional built up or clog ...
New vane type wind turbine of high efficiency
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2012-01)
Wind energy has often been touted as one of the most reliable sources of renewable energy that should be used for people. Today, wind energy (mainly by propeller type wind turbines) produces less than one percent of the ...
Iterative algorithm for active vibration control of flexible beam
(Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l., 2012)
This paper presents the development of dynamic model of a flexible beam structure using finite difference method. A Simple Proportional (P) control scheme is applied to suppress vibration at the tip of the flexible beam. ...
Improvement of Corrosion Resistance of Rare Earth Element (REE)-Based Anodic Oxidation Coating on AZ91D Magnesium Alloy
(Scientific.net, 2012-06-26)
Anodization is a useful technique for forming protective films on magnesium alloys and improves its corrosion resistance. Based on the rare earth metal (REE) salt solution, the optimum parameter was selected by comparing ...
A study on fiber glass composite hovercraft hull with different wall thickness using generative structural analysis
(Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l., 2012)
The usage of fiber glass composite has tremendously given the benefitof a weight reduction and enhancing the performance of a product. Some developers and innovative changes have been made to the hull design by inserting ...
Warpage analyses on thin plate in three-plate mold by Taguchi method and analysis of variance (ANOVA) for PC, ABS and PC/ABS
(Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l., 2012)
Warpage is a common issue in plastic injection molding process. It can get worse for thin parts and therefore it is more challenging for product design engineers, mold designers and manufacturing engineer to cope with ...
The influence of different mold temperature on warpage in a thin shallow injection molding process
(Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l., 2012)
Every injection molding parameter have its own influence towards the quality of an injection-molded part. Temperature, pressure and time are main parameters that typically highlighted in controlling the warpage defect of ...
Effect of NaVO3 concentration on corrosion resistance of conversion coating on AZ91D magnesium alloy
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
Anticorrosive oxide films were successfully prepared on AZ91D magnesium alloy by chemical conversion coating in La (NO3)3 electrolytes with and without NaVO3. The morphologies and chemical composition were characterized ...
