They have a good combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, due to their Cr content [12]. The degradation processes are present in several industrial equipments and, generate repair or replacement actions in a periodic way. In an attempt to minimize these problems, several studies have been developed with this purpose. However, due to the several variables involved in the process, both in design and equipment operation, there is still a fertile field for an effective understanding of these degradation problems. For example, one can cite the effects that the different microstructures developed in martensitic stainless steels, materials commonly used in severe service conditions, present on the behavior of resistance to oxidation of the material. And, also, the environment in which the material is inserted. In a high-temperature environment, impurities are found, among them, compounds such as vanadium pentoxide, which act vigorously in the progression of the oxidation process. Oxidation tests are necessary to relate the behavior and influence exerted on the oxide layer by grain refinement. Thus, the present work aims to analyze the influence of the microstructure of the martensitic stainless steel AISI 420, with application of different treatments. The behavior of this steel was evaluated under different oxidation conditions, in contact with a solution containing Vanadium Pentoxide, and as a control parameter the mass variation of the samples. Analysis of the microstructures and the corrosion/oxidation products were carried out via Optical Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy. As result it was verified the importance of the microstructure in the material's resistance to the action of degradation by oxidation, and its influence on the oxide layer formation process.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84374633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This report investigates various ways of tuning the plasmonic properties of such nanocomposite thin films. For this, the well-known plasmon resonance condition was first generalized to include the shape and volume fraction of MNPs. This was followed by deriving an empirical formula for the resonance position (λR) which was worked out to be the positive root of a quadratic equation. The coefficients of the deduced quadratic relation involve the parameters obtained from the empirical fit to some of the experimental dielectric functions of MNPs available in literature. The derived working formula enables research community to tune the LSPR of nanocomposites in the whole range of visible wavelengths. The derived formula also concluded that with known lower volume fractions, shape of MNPs affects λR the most, compared to the other parameters. The derived formula was validated by calculating the full extinction spectra. It was shown for the first time that there exists an optimum value of oblate shape to give maximum resonance for a given nanocomposite.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74685784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Piezoelectric energy harvesting is one of these useful technologies which can generate electricity by applying external force on piezoelectric material. This study illustrates more power generation from piezoelectric tile by changing the situation of piezo discs and connect to proportional electrical circuit. Two different designs of piezoelectric tile are presented by performing experimental analyses. The experimental results showed that placing piezoelectric elements in a bending position leads to higher power generation in comparison with traditional flat positioning, which was approximately 78 times far superior. It is also revealed that by design of an electrical circuit, the tile can be advantageous for lighting in crowded sidewalks with required lighting time. The results of this paper can be beneficial in the design and fabrication of these tiles for different applications.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78894225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several factors such as difference in water level or rapid drawdown in the reservoir, right after construction, and steady - state seepage may result in instability of Earth Dams for all possible combinations. In this study, three scenarios were evaluated for the Gbeni Earth Dam (GB3) at Sierra Rutile Mining Company in Sierra Leone. It is a zoned earth-filled embankment dam with respective upstream and downstream slopes of 1:3 and 1:2, having a horizontal sand blanket downstream. The upstream slope was subjected to both rapid drawdown in the reservoir of the earth dam and end of construction condition when there is no water present in the reservoir, whilst the downstream slope was assessed for steady seepage and end of construction conditions. The shape of the critical slip surface of both slopes was evaluated using a circular failure surface. The objective of this study was to assess the stability of these slopes under the above conditions using traditional analysis according to the theory of limit states and safety factor in GEO 5 software and its subprograms. The level of water on the upstream and downstream banks, the geotechnical properties of soil materials and boundary conditions of the dam were used as contribution variables and safety factors as the desired output. The study found out that the factor of safety against sliding of the upstream slope marginally drops within the short period after the start of rapid drawdown of water in the reservoir of the dam. Also, the downstream slope was found to be more stable under steady seepage. This accounts for the uncertainties involved in the strength of material, pore pressures in impervious clay core material, and long-term loading condition.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":"49 1","pages":"66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75461486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trials were completed successfully. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), microscale combustion calorimeter (MCC), 45° angle and vertical flammability (clothing textiles test) and limiting oxygen index (LOI) tests were carried out for the treated cotton fabrics. When the treated fabrics were tested using the 45° angle flame, the ignited fabrics self-extinguished and left behind a streak of char. Treated higher add-on fabrics were neither consumed by flame, nor produced glowing embers upon self-extinguishing. All untreated cotton fabrics showed limiting oxygen index (LOI) values of about 18% oxygen in nitrogen. For formulations with casein, urea and diammonium phosphate, LOI values of treated fabrics were 29-40% oxygen in nitrogen when add-on values for the formulation were 9.5-18.7wt%. Furthermore, scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to characterize the chemical structure on the treated fabrics, as well as, the surface morphology of char areas of treated and untreated fabrics. The results indicate that fabrics treated with casein are flame resistant. The treated fabrics exhibited improved thermal stability, as evidenced by increased ignition times and lower heat release rates. The results of this study show that casein coated flame-resistant fabrics can be readily applied to textile fabrics using a continuous process that is ideal for commercial and industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":"47 1","pages":"53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90904322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It involves a huge outlay of investment. Precise engineering and usage of proper materials can make it more cost efficient, durable, convenient for users and most importantly ecofriendly. To reduce the cost of construction engineers all over the globe are investigating for the alternative material to obtain same amount of output (strength, stability and durability) by paying a little. There are four constituents of a hot mix, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, binder and filler. Filler in the bitumen hot mix fill the void in between the aggregates which is very important for strength and stability of the pavement. But the fillers are conventionally used (cement and lime) are very costly which affect the total cost of construction. That’s why the researchers emphasized on the waste material to serve this purpose as well as to keep the environment clean. A large range of waste material like fly ash, bagasse ash, marble dust, stone dust, brick dust, kiln dust, waste concrete dust, foundry sand, bio gypsum, ceramic dust etc. has been use as a filler for numerous research works by the researchers globally. The materials yielded very satisfactory results. Fly ash, bagasse results in nearly same Marshall properties (stability, OBC, %VFA, %VMA, %Va) like the conventional one. Although the brick dust and stone dust provide a high amount of air voids but they also result high stability. More or less all these non-conventional materials are capable to fully or partially replace the conventional filler. This study focused on the effect on the Marshall hot mix design properties after using these fillers mentioned above.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":"48 1","pages":"40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79820792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
