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 ...

It has been already several decades since chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process has been deployed as a planarization technique for the fabrication of integrated circuit (IC) in the semiconductor industries. CMP is ...

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 ...

The aim of this article is to introduce and discuss prediction power of the multiple regression technique, artificial neural network (ANN), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) methods for predicting the forced ...

This study has focused on the influence of size and content of SiC particle incorporation on the wetting behavior of the Ticusil brazing filler alloy and on its brazing performance in C/SiC composite/Ti6Al4V alloy joints. ...

One of the most challenging problems in the field of machining is to determine the onset of shear localization. The consequences of the emergence of shear localized chips are fluctuations in the machining forces, tool wear, ...

Microscopic changes in the surface of nickel-titanium (nitinol) shape memory alloys (SMAs) in micro-wire electro-discharge machining (μ-WEDM) due to the formation of a resolidified layer on the machined surface, called ...

In recent decades, demand for energy has been significantly increased, and considering environmental impacts and the degrading nature of fossil fuels, clean and emission-free renewable energy production has attracted a ...
