Due to the toxicity of widely used corrosion inhibitors and the ever tightening environmental regulations surrounding their use and disposal, there is great interest in replacing harmful inhibitors with effective non-hazardous ...

2-[4-(Methylthio) phenyl] acetohydrazide (HYD) and 5[4-(methylthio)benzyl]-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (TRD) are compounds that contain methylthiophenyl moiety and substantially inhibit corrosion of zinc in acidic medium. ...

Vehicle crashworthiness is an important issue to ensure passengers safety and reduce vehicle costs in the early design stage of vehicle design. The aim of the crashworthiness design is to provide an optimized structure ...

The mechanistic pathways of direct oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde by N2O were theoretically investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) over an extra framework species in ZSM-5 zeolite represented by a ...

A new sliding-mode control method is presented in which the nominal control is derived from a manifold consisting of the standard sliding manifold expression and its derivative. It is shown that the new method yields a ...

In manufacturing industry, turning operations are used to remove unwanted sections of a part to obtain the final product. In this paper a comparison of state-of-the-art optimization techniques to solve multi-pass turning ...

Preparation and properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/nanoclay nanocomposites fibers

On the design method of lightweight construction materials: Structural characteristics-tearing strength relationship

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) was utilized as a pretreatment method to convert high oxygen content lignocellulosic biomass, otherwise invaluable renewable material, to a more condensed functional material for higher ...

The simple method developed by Kachanov (1985) for multiple interacting cracks in homogenous medium is extended to predict complex stress intensity factor for multiple split type interface cracks. Calculations are implemented ...
