In this study, machining characteristics of polymer composite consisting of banana fiber and silicon carbide (SiC) as reinforcements and epoxy resin as matrix are investigated. Reinforcement phases consist of raw banana fiber powder sieved to 100 microns size of 1% (w/w) and SiC powder of 1% (w/w). The conventional machining process is carried out on the fabricated composite samples by considering the depth of cut, feed rate and speed as influential parameters. The central composite design (CCD) is used to design the experiment based on response surface methodology (RSM). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to study the influences of the depth of cut, feed rate and the speed on the material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness. The results reveal that the feed rate is the most influential parameter for minimizing surface roughness and maximizing MRR. It is observed that the feed rate plays an important role in determining the surface roughness and MRR followed by the depth of cut and speed. The optimized parameters for maximum MRR and minimum surface roughness are also obtained.

This paper develops a nonlocal strain gradient plate model for buckling analysis of graphene sheets under hygro-thermal environments with mass sensors. For a more accurate analysis of graphene sheets, the proposed theory contains two scale parameters related to the nonlocal and strain gradient effects. The graphene sheet is modeled via a two-variable shear deformation plate theory that does not need shear correction factors. Governing equations of a nonlocal strain gradient graphene sheet on the elastic substrate are derived via Hamilton’s principle. Galerkin’s method is implemented to solve the governing equations for different boundary conditions. Effects of different factors, such as moisture concentration rise, temperature rise, nonlocal parameter, length scale parameter, nanoparticle mass and geometrical parameters, on buckling characteristics of graphene sheets are examined and presented as dispersion graphs.

A lengthwise crack in a rod that exhibits smooth (continuous) material inhomogeneity in the transverse direction is studied. The rod has a circular cross-section. The lengthwise crack is located arbitrarily along the thickness of the rod. A solution to the strain energy release rate is derived assuming that the moduli of elasticity in tension and compression are distributed continuously in the transverse direction. The strain energy release rate is also analyzed by applying the compliance method for verification. The influences of various factors such as the crack location, material inhomogeneity and the different mechanical behavior of the material in tension and compression on the fracture are investigated and discussed in detail.

Recently, the applications of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) in marine, automobile, aerospace, and other industries have increased significantly. Due to great physical and chemical differences between CFRP and metal, it is not easy to join them together, and this is one of the key problems that many industries need to solve. Thus, a systematic review of the achievements in joining CFRP and metal by welding process is presented in this study to understand the joining mechanism of these materials. Different types of joining methods, such as supersonic welding, laser welding, friction welding, composite welding, and other techniques are studied. The research shows that all different welding methods have pros and cons, and the usage of hybrid joining will be the future trend to improve the joint performance with respect to the joining application of CFRP and metal. In the time ahead, these methods can provide some references for the development of technologies used in joining CFRP and metal.

We investigate the unsteady, non-isothermal, pressure driven channel flow of a third grade liquid subject to exothermic reactions. We assume temperature dependent fluid viscosity and also that the flow is subjected to convective cooling at the channel walls. The exothermic reactions are modelled via Arrhenius kinetics and the convective heat exchange with the ambient at the channel walls follows Newton’s law of cooling. The time-dependent, coupled, and nonlinear partial differential equations governing the flow and heat transfer problem are solved numerically using efficient, semi-implicit finite difference algorithms. The sensitivity of the fluid flow and heat transfer system to the various embedded parameters is explored.

In this paper, the inherent irreversibility in a Casson fluid flow through a rotating permeable microchannel with wall slip and Hall current is investigated. It is assumed that the lower wall is subjected to the velocity slip and fluid injection while the fluid suction occurs at the upper wall. The nonlinear governing equations of momentum and energy balance are obtained, analyzed and solved numerically using the shooting technique together with the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration method. Pertinent results depicting the effects of various embedded thermophysical parameters on the fluid velocity, temperature, skin friction, the Nusselt number, entropy generation rate and the Bejan number are presented graphically and discussed. It is found that the entropy generation rate is enhanced by fluid rotation and velocity slip but lessened with a rise magnetic field intensity. Our results will undoubtedly augment the design and efficient operation of micro-cooling devices, micro-heat exchangers, micropumps and micro-mixing technologies.

In this investigation, we analyze the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) three-dimensional (3D) flow of Casson fluid over a stretching sheet using non-Darcy porous medium with heat source/sink. We also consider the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux and Joule effect. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using suitable transformations and solved by using the shooting technique. The effects of the non-dimensional governing parameters on velocity and temperature profiles are discussed with the graphs. Also, the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are discussed through tables. We also validate our results with the ones already available in the literature. It is found that the obtained results are in excellent agreement with the existing studies under some special cases. Our analysis reveals that the thermal relaxation parameter reduces the temperature field for the Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid cases. It is also found that the temperature profile is decreased in the Newtonian fluid case when compared with the non-Newtonian fluid case.

This paper addresses the combined effects of the magnetic field, thermal buoyancy force, viscous dissipation, Joule heating and temperature-dependent viscosity on the Couette flow of an incompressible conducting fluid between two concentric vertical pipes. It is assumed that convective cooling occurs at the surface of the outer moving pipe while the surface of the inner fixed pipe is maintained at a constant temperature. The nonlinear equations for momentum and energy are obtained and solved numerically using a shooting method coupled with the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration procedure. Relevant results depicting the effects of embedded thermophysical parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction, the Nusselt number, entropy generation rate and the Bejan number are presented graphically and discussed. It is found that an increase in the magnetic field intensity boosts the entropy generation rate while an increase in convective cooling lessens it.

This work concentrates on the study of the two-dimensional hydromagnetic flow of nanofluids over an suddenly started nonlinear stretching sheet in the presence of radiation and dissipation. The Soret effect and heat generation are also taken into consideration. The transformed ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are solved numerically via the MATLAB RK4S approach bvp4c solver with the assistance of similarity variables. The effects of various parameters are explored and shown in graphs and tables. It is noted that the concentration increases as the Soret number increases within the boundary layer. An increase in velocity slip decreases the velocity and a reverse effect is observed for temperature. This model has significance in different areas such as polymer chemical and metallurgical industries, and other fields that use the latest technology and thermo-processed materials such as metallic and glass sheets.

This paper is devoted to the analysis of ambient temperature influence on harmonic vibrations of von Karman geometrically non-linear plates. The time-temperature superposition and the Williams-Landel-Ferry formula for the horizontal shift are used to modify the viscosity properties in the fractional Zener material model of viscoelasticity. The non-linear amplitude equation is obtained from the time-averaged principle of virtual work and the harmonic balance method. It is then solved after the finite element (FE) discretization using the continuation method to get the response curves in the frequency domain. Several numerical examples are solved and a significant influence of temperature on the resonance properties of the analysed plates is observed.
