For the fabrication, the Stack and Draw method was used and for the characterization, a simulation software (OptiSystem) was also used. The results of this study are as follows: the refractive index of the microstructured chalcogenide glass fibre is 1.1.10-18 m2/w much higher than that of standard silica fibre, which is 2.6 10-20 m2/w. The non-linear refractive index of these chalcogenide fibers provided to be 100 times higher than that of the standard fiber. The characterization of the Brillouin and Raman diffusion effects also gave excellent results, with respective gain values of 8.10-10 W-1 Km-1 and 1.8.10-10 W-1 Km-1, thus validating an exacerbation of the non-linear effects within this type of fiber. These results were then used to generate optical functions.","PeriodicalId":16171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of materials science & engineering","volume":"34 1","pages":"21-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84281363","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}

Zirconia specimens were divided into five groups based on the surface treatment with the following primers: MP (Monobond Plus), SU (ScotchBond Universal), AZ (AZ Primer), BM (Beauty bond Multi), and BL (Bondmer Lightless). After priming, stainless steel rods were bonded to the zirconia specimens with composite resin. The tensile bond strength test was performed: stored at room temperature for 1 day; stored in distilled water at 37 °C for 7 days; and underwent thermal cycling. The BL group demonstrated a significantly higher tensile bond strength than other groups when stored at room temperature for 1 day (p < 0.05). The primer that acted via chemical polymerization appeared to be most effective in improving the bond strength between the two materials in this study.","PeriodicalId":16171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of materials science & engineering","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90722912","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}

Louzolo-Kimbémbé","doi":"10.12691/AJMSE-9-1-2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12691/AJMSE-9-1-2","url":null,"abstract":"This work presents a theoretical study based on the instability of fine soils stabilized with sugar cane molasses. Indeed, this stabilization is only effective during the dry season in the town of Nkayi due to the scarcity or non-existence of rainfall. This being the case, let us suppose that humidification influences the intrinsic parameters of the earth materials (suction, porosity) and even the stabilization capacity of the molasses, we can try to understand the instability phenomenon that occurs within the structural matrix of the material when it is solicited during periods of heavy rainfall. The current models which study the deformation of the proposed fine soils, relate the inter-aggregate voids, the intra-aggregate voids, the stability index, the suction of the soil material and the relative humidity of the environment. Also, the theoretical study of these models shows that the inter-aggregate voids increase with relative humidity, the intra-aggregate voids decrease with increasing relative humidity and the stability index decreases with increasing relative humidity.Similarly, inter-aggregate voids decrease with increasing suction, intra-aggregate voids increase with suction and the stability index increases with suction.However, with the extension of Ferber's model, the breaking point of the earth material is obtained using these same models, i.e. this minimum point beyond which the adhesion forces in the aggregate and between the aggregates become low to ensure cohesion between the aggregates in the material for a long time. All in all, this point is significant for Pr (=35.768%, =0.5262, =0.078, = 0.0005 262), and S=146 MPa (suction value) and is defined as the breaking point below which the cohesion of the aggregates is not evident. This proposed model mathematically translates both the effects of relative humidity and suction on voids in earth materials. It also explains the deformations that take place in earth materials at the microstructure level (intra-aggregate voids and inter-aggregate voids) under the effect of moisture or suction.","PeriodicalId":16171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of materials science & engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":"6-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88599695","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}

Equally important is to perform tribological analysis to understand chip formation and abrasive wheel wear, thus enabling manufacturing of components free of thermal damages. In grinding, due to high hardness of abrasive grains that remove material from workpiece in chip form and very low values of radial depth of cut, combination of low roughness values and tight dimensional tolerances is attained. Accordingly, the parameters involved in this process are determinant in surface quality that is primarily evaluated in terms of surface roughness and workpiece functionality. In this work, surface roughness (Rt parameter) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of ground surfaces of the AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel samples were evaluated. Tests were carried out in surface grinding with a white aluminum oxide wheel and an environmentally-friendly semisynthetic water-soluble coolant. Two values of radial depth of cut (10 μm and 25 μm) were tested. The results showed that the highest roughness values, deeper grooves on the machined surfaces as well as poorer surface quality were obtained after grinding under the severest cutting conditions.","PeriodicalId":16171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of materials science & engineering","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85195360","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}
