Effect of anodizing time on the mechanical properties of porous titania coatings formed by micro-arc oxidation.
(Elsevier, 2017-01-15)Porous TiO2 coatings were produced on commercially pure Ti substrates by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in 1.0 M H2SO4 electrolyte for different anodizing times. Their mechanical properties were assessed by means of instrumented ... -
The effect of calcination conditions on oat husk ash pozzolanic activity
(Elsevier, 2022-04-01)Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are known and used to reduce cement consumption, but some waste sources currently used for partial cement replacement are threatened by changing industrial production processes ... -
Effect of Chemical Treatments and HDPE-g-MA on the physical and mechanical behaviour of HDPE/ natural fibre composites.
(2013)Many authors have reported on the use of natural fibres (raw or chemically modified) as reinforcing elements for high density polyethylene (HDPE). These materials have generated a lot of interest due to their low cost ... -
The effect of clusters within crowds of pedestrians on the vertical response of a flexible footbridge.
(BCRI, 2012-09)The issue of excessive vibrations of footbridges due to the passage of pedestrians has been well documented in the past decade. Despite this there still remains great uncertainty as to how to predict the acceleration ... -
