The drilling of shape-memory alloys based on nickel-titanium (Nitinol) is challenging due to their unique properties, such as high strength, high hardness and strong work hardening, which results in excessive tool wear and ...

Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers have received a great deal of attention in recent years due to the potential of offering semi-active control. MR dampers have been successfully applied in the vibration control of several ...

This study investigates the laser-assisted turning (LAT) of AISI 4340 hardened steel (∼52 HRC). Despite the various advantages of this process for machining hard materials, the issues related to the machined surface integrity ...

In recent years, new materials such as titanium, nickel alloys, and high-strength steels have been widely used in medical, nuclear, and other industries. Since the manufacturing of different components from these materials ...

Microfluidic systems (which are also known as microchannel devices) are an important and versatile practical apparatus applicable in different areas of science and technology. The appropriate design of microfluidic system ...

Thermo-mechanical properties of poly(butylene terephthalate) polymer reinforced with carbonate calcium nanoparticles have been investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. Detailed analyses have been conducted on the ...

Predicting the onset of shear localization is among the most challenging problems in machining. This phenomenon affects the process outputs, such as machining forces, surface quality, and machined part tolerances. To predict ...
