Bulk and nano-scale characterization of polymer derived silicon carbide and comparison with sintered silicon carbide
Rahman, Arif (Oklahoma State University, 2009-07-01)Among all the ceramics, silicon carbide (SiC) is most commonly used for structural as well as nuclear applications due to its superior properties. Different processing routes are followed for the fabrication of silicon ... -
Corrosion Resistance and Mechanical Properties of Amorphous Metal Honeycombs
Meduri, Chandra Sekhar (Oklahoma State University, 2014-12-01)Honeycombs are light weight structural materials that are typically used as cores in sandwich panels. Strength, mechanical energy absorption, and corrosion resistance are characteristics of a honeycomb. Recently discovered ... -
Effect of Crumb-rubber Particle Size on the Mechanical Response of Polyurethane Foam Composites
Sanjay, Omer Sheik (Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)The compression properties of foam are governed by by three factors: i) cell edge bending ii) compression of cell fluid iii) membrane stresses in the cell faces. The effect of reinforcement, granular form of scrap tire ... -
Effect of Web Non Homogeneity and Core Effects on Wound Roll Stress
Rajannan, Dheepak (Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)Winding models developed so far have been used to compute wound roll stresses only in homogeneous webs and have not been utilized to compute roll stresses in non-homogeneous webs like laminates and non-woven webs. It is ... -
Fracture Behavior and Mechanical Characterization of Obsidian: Naturally Occurring Glass
Husien, Mohammed S. (Oklahoma State University, 2010-07-01)Obsidian is a natural glass of volcanic origin that is formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava. Obsidian is commonly assumed to possess a fracture behavior identical to that of artificial glass. This study is specially ... -
Pulse Electrodeposition of Co-w and Its Composite Coatings for Hard Chrome Replacements
Mulukutla, Siva Prashanta Mrinalini (Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)Replacement of hard chromium plating has been of particular interest to many industrial applications, including automotive, aircraft, and machinery parts that require high hardness and wear/corrosion resistance. Electrodeposition ... -
Role of Residual Stresses on Mechanical Properties of Obsidian: Naturally Occurring Glass
Meesala, Raghu V. (Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)Obsidian is a natural glass that is formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava. Obsidian's mechanical properties in structure mechanics are visible in aspects such as fracture pattern, elastic modulus, hardness and fracture ... -
Spark Plasma Sintering of Silicon Carbide, Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube and Graphene Reinforced Zirconium Diboride Ceramic Composite
Balaraman Yadhukulakrishnan, Govindaraajan (Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)Space vehicles re-entering the earth's atmosphere experience very high temperatures due to aerodynamic heating. Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC) with melting point higher than 3200C are promising materials for thermal ... -
Spark Plasma Sintering of Titanium Aluminide Intermetallics and Its Composites
Aldoshan, Abdelhakim Ahmed (Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)Titanium aluminide intermetallics are a distinct class of engineering materials having unique properties over conventional titanium alloys. γ-TiAl compound possesses competitive physical and mechanical properties at ... -
Static and Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Amorphous Recycled Poly-(Ethylene Terepthalate)
Rajakutty, Arjun (Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)Polymers are among the largest used materials today in the world. PET has a significant market share among all the other polymers. More than 90% of plastic bottles made in the world are from PET. With this huge amount of ... -
Variation of Mechanical Properties Due to Hygrothermal Ageing and Permanent Changes Upon Redrying in Clay/Epoxy Nanocomposites
Hamim, Salah (Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)Epoxy polymers are an important class of material for use in various applications. Due to their hydrophilic nature, epoxy resins tend to absorb moisture. Absorption of moisture degrades the functional, structural and ... -
Virgin Carpetpolymer Structural Laminates
Rajagopalan, Vasudevan (Oklahoma State University, 2011-05-01)Post-consumer carpet waste recycling is in its infant stage in the United States. Currently, a number of initiatives have been taken to recycle carpet waste with an effort to divert away from landfill and incineration. ...
