Mesoscale Modeling of Extrusion and Solidification During Material Extrusion Additive ManufacturingAbstract In this work, we apply a multiphysics approach to fused deposition modeling to simulate extrusion and solidification. Restricting the work to a single line scan, we focus on the application of polylactic acid. In addition to heat, momentum and mass transfer, the solid/liquid/vapor interf [...] 537 3638 |
Pyrethrin Type Compounds from the Municipal Solid Waste Ghazipur Landfill Inert Soil as Brain and Cancer 5-HT Receptor Binding AgentsAbstract The Inert soil obtained from the Ghazipur Municipal Solid Waste landfill located in East Delhi, India has been used as the starting material for the work described in this paper. This mountain-like monster is often in the news for its bad smell, pollution of the groundwater in the area f [...] 669 4682 |

Behavior of RC Buildings under Blast Loading: Case StudyAbstract In recent years, civil wars and terror activities have caused blast-loading effects on reinforced concrete buildings, resulting in catastrophic human and material damage. When a building is exposed to a blast load, a very high air pressure affects the building within a very short duration. To decide [...] 713 6302 |
Detection of Anomalies in Additively Manufactured Metal Parts Using CNN and LSTM NetworksAbstract The process of metal additive manufacturing (AM) involves creating strong, complex components by using fine metal powders. Extensive use of AM methods is expected in near future for the production of small and medium-sized batches of end-use products and tools. The ability to detect loads and defect [...] 683 5871 |

Abstract This article presents the development and characterization of environmentally friendly composites comprising polypropylene (PP) reinforced with Bahia Beige (BB) marble waste. The composites were prepared using different PP/BB weight ratios and analyzed for their chemical, physical, mecha [...] 612 4910 |
Spontaneous Magnetization in the Finite-Size Two-Leg Ising Ladder in the External Magnetic FieldAbstract This paper considers a finite-sized two-leg ladder of spin-1/2 particles with local inter-chain Ising interaction. We include the effects of an external magnetic field by incorporating a Zeeman-type coupling between the magnetic field and the spins localized on the lattice sites. To analyze the syst [...] 534 4365 |
Micromechanics-Based Modeling of SiC/SiC Ceramic Matrix Composites and StructuresAbstract The behavior and response of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), in particular silicon carbide fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix (SiC/SiC), is affected by many factors such as variation of fiber volume fraction, residual stresses resulting from processing of the composites at high te [...] 877 6899 |
Efficacy of Zinc Pyrithione as A Novel Anti-Bacterial Coating AgentAbstract Zinc pyrithione (ZPT) is used to prevent microbial degradation and deterioration of manufacturing starting materials such as plastics, polymers, and latexes. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-bacterial properties of ZPT. Currently, there is insufficient data on the effect of [...] 800 6214 |
