Effect of B₄C variation on the mechanical, fractographic and tribological performance of hybrid composites Al7075/Gr/ZrO₂
The current study focuses on the influence of varying levels of boron-carbide (B4C) particles on mechanical and tribological characteristics of Al7075 hybrid composites that are strengthened by fixed percentages of graphite (Gr) and zirconia (ZrO2). Hybrid composites were made by stir casting the 2…

The damping influence in monitoring the tension of cable using the vibration method
In the maintenance work of cable configurations, which have limitations such as cables in cable-stayed bridges, suspenders in suspension bridges, and hangers in arch bridges, tension on the cables is required. The safety of the cable is confirmed by checking whether the tensile force on the cable…

Effects of machining methods on uniaxial tensile properties of 75μm thick 304L stainless steel foil
Considering the fragility of ultra-thin foil material, the machining methods might bring in undesired and non-neglectable damage, which would affect the uniaxial tensile properties of such material. This presented work systematically investigates the effect of five machining methods on the tensile…
