Abstract In the present study, AA7075/Al2O3 composites have been fabricated via liquid metallurgy process. AA7075 alloy and Al2O3 particles were taken as the base matrix and reinforcements, respectively. Then, contents of 3 and 6 wt. % of Al2O3 subdivisions were added into the AA7075 matrix. To improve wettability and distribution, reinforcement particles were pre-heated to a temperature of 550°C for each composite sample. A hardened EN32 steel disc as the counter face was used to evaluate the wear rate pin-on-disc. The results showed that the wear rate of the AA/Al2O3 composites was smaller than that of the monolithic AA7075 samples. Finally, the worn surfaces of samples were investigated by SEM.

Abstract This study deals with the selection of optimum parameters for friction stir processing of Al alloy 6061-T6 reinforced with a hybrid nanoparticle (B4C and SiO2) in terms of their effect on the mechanical properties (hardness, tensile strength, and wear resistance) using Taguchi method. This work was carried out under four parameters each one running in three levels; rotational speeds (800, 1000 and 1200) rpm, travel speeds (10, 20, and 30) mm/min, holes depth (2, 2.5, and 3) mm, and mixing ratio of (SiO2/B4C) nanoparticles (1/1, 1/2, and 1/3), using L9 (34) Taguchi orthogonal array. Tensile strength and microhardness tests were conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties, in addition to the wear resistance test which is carried out using a pin-on-disk device. The microstructure was examined by optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction analysis. It was found that the highest tensile strength (223) MPa at 1200 rpm rotational speed, 30 mm/min traverse speed, 2.5 mm holes depth, and 1/2 (SiO2/B4C) nanoparticles mixing ratio, the highest hardness reached is (155) HV, then decreases in the direction of thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ), heat affected zone (HAZ), and the base material at (1200) rpm rotational speed, (30) mm/min linear speed, a hole depth of (2) mm and (1/3) mixing ratio of (B4C/SiO2) nanoparticles. The wear behavior was of a mild type or an oxidative type at low loads (5 N), which became severe or metallic wear at higher loads (20 N) at fixed sliding time and speed. The (ANOVA) table has been used to determine which parameter is the most significant using MINITAB software.

Abstract The deflection analysis of beams has been recently an active area of research. The large deflection of beams refers to deflections occurring due to large displacements and small strains. This type of deflection has been one of the areas of interest in the development of beam deformation methods. The wide diversity of beam deformation methods highlights the importance of their comparison to further elucidate the properties and features of each method and determine their benefits and limitations. In this study, a new comparison model is introduced which involves three steps, instead of only comparing final results for verification in common studies. In the first step, a complete comparison is made based on the assumptions and approximations of each method of the kinematics of deformation, displacement, and strain fields. After selecting the most accurate method in the first step, the displacement functions are determined by polynomial approximation under different loading and support conditions based on the selected method. In the third step, the displacement functions are used to calculate the strains in each method. The conclusion is based on comparing the strains. This comparative model can be used as a benchmark to compare different theories of deformation analysis.

Abstract The propagation of plane waves in a rotating homogeneous, isotropic, thermoelastic solid with double porosity following Lord-Shulman’s theory of thermoelasticity has been investigated. It is assumed that the medium rotates about an axis normal to the surface with a uniform angular velocity. There may exist five coupled waves that evolved due to the longitudinal, transverse disturbance, voids of type-I and type-II, and temperature change in the medium. The secular equation for the model under consideration has been derived with the help of formal solutions and boundary conditions. The amplitude of displacements, temperature change and volume fraction fields for voids of type-I and type-II have also been computed analytically. Finally, numerical computations have been carried out for magnesium crystal material to understand the behavior of amplitude of phase velocity, penetration depth, specific loss, displacement components, temperature change, and volume fraction field due to type-I and type-II voids corresponding to the different rotation rates. Various graphs have been plotted to support the analytical findings. The study may be used in the development of rotation sensors, material design and thermal efficiency.

Abstract In this paper, the effect of ultrasonic peening surface treatment on the mechanical properties of TIG butt weld joints of low-carbon steel (AISI 1020) was studied. A single V-angle (45°) was made on sheets of metal used then welded at constant parameters, namely: current, voltage. Wire filler ER70S-3 with argon was used to obtain many butt welding joints. Some of them were subjected to ultrasonic peening at one, two and three passes. The micro-hardness, microstructure, tensile and bending were tested. The results show increases in the tensile strength after the welding process. The test results showed improvements in the tensile strength of the weldments in comparison to the base metal. On the other hand, the tensile strength decreased with the ultrasonic process. Nevertheless, the tensile strength increased at a high number of ultrasonic passes. On the contrary, the ultrasonic process enhanced the bending strength compared to the base metal, whereas the weldments ability to bend deteriorated.

Abstract In this article, we examined the solution of a homogeneously intensified isothermal inclined infinite plate with constant temperature. The plate is elevated to Tw, and the species accumulation is enhanced at a consistent speed. Under appropriate boundary conditions, the non-dimensional guiding formulae are remedied using the Laplace transform procedure. The effect of velocity, temperature, and concentration on various factors, including thermal and mass Grashof numbers, Schmidt numbers, and duration, is discussed. The velocity increases proportionally to the thermal and mass Grashof numbers, but decreases as the inclined angle, Schmidt numbers and time increase.

Abstract The present research focuses on two-dimensional deformation in a functionally graded thermoelastic micro-elongated medium. It is supposed that the non-homogeneous properties (thermal and mechanical) of FGM are in the x-direction. The normal mode technique is used to acquire the analytic expression for displacement components, stress, micro-elongation and temperature. The cause and effect relationship of non-homogeneity and physical quantities is shown through graphical results.

Abstract The present paper analyzes an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic blood flow model of an visco-elastic fluid through an inclined porous stenosed artery with body acceleration and slip effect. Navier-Stokes equations have been used to describe the blood flow model. The governing equation of blood flow is solved by an analytic method by considering blood as an incompressible, visco-elastic fluid, and suspension of RBC’s in plasma. Axial velocity, blood acceleration, flow rate, and shear stress are derived numerically by using the finite Laplace and Hankel transformation and their inverse. The effect of parameters such as the visco-elasticity parameter, Womersley number, Hartmann number, inclination angle, parameter of slip, and body acceleration frequency is analyzed. Axial velocity reduces as the Hartmann number and visco-elasticity parameter enhance and it enhances with the enhancement of the slip parameter and inclination angle. The study is beneficial for finding the effect of slip parameter, porosity factor and Hartmann number when a human body is exposed to MRI and CT scan.

Abstract In this research work, the finite element software, ABAQUS is used to study by simulations the influence of form defect on mechanical behavior of a shrink-fitted assembly presenting internal radial cracks. Under the action of contact pressure induced by the tightening between two cylinders, these cracks resulting from incorrect assembly operations or materials elaboration defect, can be harmful to the assembly. Various simulations were carried out in two modeling cases, taking into account the geometric parameters of defect (amplitude Df), of cylinders (thickness t) and of cracks (length a, ratio a/t). Another important parameter such as the tightening was also considered in the modeling. The first modeling relates to the case with defect, external cylinder presents an oval (elliptical) form defect and internal radial cracks. The other concerns the perfect equivalent case (without form defect). The comparison of results obtained by two models shows that form defect modifies the uniformity of equivalent stresses distribution in cylinders and increases the value of stress intensity factor (SIF) KI in cracks. Defect amplitude and tightening significantly influence the value of equivalent stress and that of stress intensity factor (SIF) KI.

Abstract There are no standard dimensions or shapes for cold-formed sections (CFS), making it difficult for a designer to choose the optimal section dimensions in order to obtain the most cost-effective section. A great number of researchers have utilized various optimization strategies in order to obtain the optimal section dimensions. Multi-objective optimization of CFS C-channel beams using a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II was performed using a Microsoft Excel macro to determine the optimal cross-section dimensions. The beam was optimized according to its flexural capacity and cross-sectional area. The flexural capacity was computed utilizing the effective width method (EWM) in accordance with the Egyptian code. The constraints were selected so that the optimal dimensions derived from optimization would be production and construction-friendly. A Pareto optimal solution was obtained for 91 sections. The Pareto curve demonstrates that the solution possesses both diversity and convergence in the objective space. The solution demonstrates that there is no optimal solution between 1 and 1.5 millimeters in thickness. The solutions were validated by conducting a comprehensive parametric analysis of the change in section dimensions and the corresponding local buckling capacity. In addition, performing a single-objective optimization based on section flexural capacity at various thicknesses The parametric analysis and single optimization indicate that increasing the dimensions of the elements, excluding the lip depth, will increase the section’s carrying capacity. However, this increase will depend on the coil’s wall thickness. The increase is more rapid in thicker coils than in thinner ones.
