Reducing defects in InGaN films deposited on GaN substrates has been critical to fill the “green” gap for solid-state lighting applications. To enable researchers to use molecular dynamics vapor deposition simulations to explores ways to reduce defects in InGaN films, we have developed and characterized a Stillinger-Weber potential for InGaN. We show that this potential reproduces the experimental atomic volume, cohesive energy, and bulk modulus of the equilibrium wurtzite / zinc-blende phases of both InN and GaN. Most importantly, the potential captures the stability of the correct phase of InGaN compounds against a variety of other elemental, alloy, and compound configurations. This is validated by the potential’s ability to predict crystalline growth of stoichiometric wurtzite and zinc-blende InxGa1-xN compounds during vapor deposition simulations where adatoms are randomly injected to the growth surface.

Thermo-mechanical controlled rolling (TMCR) schedules have been studied on the wire line of 400/200 section rolling mill to manufacture 6.0 – mm - diameter reinforcing wire in coils by V-alloyed C – Mn – Si - steel that has dual-phase (DP - ferrite-martensite (bainite)) and multi-phase (MP - ferrite-martensite (bainite) - pearlite) microstructures. It has been established that high tensile strength and plasticity values were achieved in this 6.0 – mm wire in coils (YS 0.2 = 530-550 MPa; TS= 785 – 885 MPa; El 5 = 15.0 – 29.0 %) which were in full compliance with national standard specifications such as ASТM A 615 (USA), JIS G 3112 (Japan) and KSD 3504 (the Republic of Korea)), when the TMCR schedules involving laying head temperatures Т LH from 1024 oС to 1063 oС were employed ensuring formation of MP microstructure.

Composite structures used in modern engineering applications are often subjected to circular holes in order to join with metal components via riveting, bolting or pinning joints. These design based holes will interrupt the force flux in the direction of the fibers and create high stress concentrations near the notched area. Objective of the project is to understand the quality of the quasi-isotropic composite laminates ([45°, -45°, 0°, 90°] S ) containing circular hole. To achieve this objective, a 3-phase portal milling machine and a 5kW continuous wave (cw) CO 2 laser system were used to produce the circular holes in the composite laminates. The processing parameters for both the processes are varied to understand its influence. The quality of the circular hole produced by these methods are further investigated and compared in order to arrive at the optimum processing parameters for the given quasi-isotropic composite laminates. The hole qualities were evaluated by means of delamination factor caused by milling; cone angle, matrix evaporation for cw-CO 2 laser system. For further comparisons, the optimal parameter combinations of both methods were selected for a tensile test according to the standard ASTM D5766-2002.

WO3-based composite films were fabricated from peroxo-iso-poly tungstic acid and a transparent urethane resin, and the photochromic properties of the films were evaluated under sunlight from three seasons: spring, summer, and winter. All composite films exhibited photochromism under solar irradiation, and the coloring degree of the films varied with the sunlight intensity for each season. We estimate the energy efficiency of the colored composite films for various seasons.

The study of the biocompability of the metallic materials is a priority treating to avoid the osteolysis and aseptic loosening of prosthesis. Wear debris is considered one of the main factors responsible for aseptic loosening of orthopedic endoprostheses. We examined the response of mouse osteoblasts MC3T3-E1 to high carbon cobalt-chrome (HCCoCr) particles obtained a) from wear-corrosion assays on a pin-on-disk tribometer using as pair an alumina ball and a disc of a HCCoCr alloy, and b) HCCoCr bulk particles obtained by nitrogen gas atomization from an alloy used in clinic for prostheses application. Mitochondrial activity and lactate dehydrogenase activity assayed in 2D and 3D osteoblasts cell culture models were used to evaluate the cellular response to size, shape, and chemical composition of the metallic particles. 2D cell model was used to study the direct interaction of cells with particles and 3D cell cultures was used to more closely mimic in vivo conditions. The results showed that vimentin was overexpressed in the 2D osteoblasts cultures in presence of metal particles. This might be related to the appearance of pseudotumor in the peri-prosthetic vicinity described in some implanted patients.

We demonstrate the detailed analysis for conversion of piezoelectric properties into compliance matrix and simulate a series bimorph configuration for vibration based energy generation. Commercially available software COMSOL Multiphysics was used to apply boundary conditions for optimization of geometric parameters such as length, width and thickness of piezoelectric layer to study voltage and power characteristics of the harvester. The resulting energy harvester was found to generate 1.73 mW at 53.4 Hz across a 3MW load with an energy density of 13.08mJ/cm3. We also investigated feasibility of this model by comparing it with existing experimental data of known piezoelectric ceramic compositions and found good correlation between the two.

It is shown, that if a steel plate is subjected to a projectile impact, the atomic emission is induced from the great amount of craters that appear on the plate’s side opposite to the place of impact application. The craters’ mean size and shape are same to cathode craters in a low-voltage vacuum arc. This similarity shows that the reasons of mechanical and electrical failure of metals can be identical in either case.

The Research and Development Center (R&DC) of Saudi Aramco has developed new application in ultrasound technology to support the huge networks of crude oil and gas processing facilities, including items of equipment running 24/7.Gas turbines are playing a vital role in supplying energy to different facilities within the companies and they need complex air filtration systems to operate at high speeds and prevent turbine section components from erosion, fouling, and corrosion. Saudi Aramco’s plants have a large number of energy producing gas turbines and the frequent air filter replacement program has become so expensive, that consequently, it has attracted the attention of the plant management to find an appropriate solution for cost reduction.R&DC of Saudi Aramco has completed an extensive investigative study to design and examine ultrasonic (sound waves) technology as a practical, easy-to-apply, and cost-effective cleaning procedure to remove the dust and dirt to maximize the lifetime of the air filters. Experimentally, high frequency sound is passed through a cleaning solution, providing waves of high and low pressure. Microscopic bubbles are produced, which implode almost immediately, bringing the cleaning fluid into contact with the surface being cleaned with great force, thereby breaking down dirt particles and cleaning the surface. Using sonic cleaning, it has been found that the filters are not only cleaned from dust and dirt but also from organic materials without affecting the physical integrity of the air filter.This technical paper benchmarks a technology that has been established to reuse more than 10,000 air filters, which are usually discarded companywide each year. Implementing this technology would not only result in operational cost savings, but also would contribute to the reduction of the local and global environmental impact.

Economic conditions as well as comfort and safety-related requirements lead to lightweight design especially in automotive body-in-white production processes. The consequential multi-material mix limits the reliability of conventional thermal joining technologies. Innovative mechanical joining technologies need to be established. Following the lightweight-design requirements, next step for weight-reduction would be the renunciation of additional elements. Clinching technologies support this idea by creating a form- and force-fitting joint, but are limited to the formability of the joining partners. Joining by forming without additional elements even of hot formed ultra-high-strength manganese steels and ductile aluminium can be realised by shear-clinching. A precisely coordinated tool setup initialises a crack in the die-sided material with limited formability without harming the punch-sided ductile aluminium. This paper presents current and detailed investigations of the influences of mechanical loads on strength capacity of multi-material joints using shear-clinching technologies. The results clearly show the promising potential and challenges of this innovative single-step joining technology for multi-material mixes.
