Abstract:
   In this study, the Properties of a polyester-based composites, using nanoparticle fillers ((TiO2) and (SiO2)(, were investigated. The mechanical, physical, miscibility and morphology tests were studied Moreover, buckling analysis of nanocomposite plates with cutout was investigated including the effect of design parameters such as cutout shape, size, position, direction, number of cutouts etc. in addition to the plate aspect ratio on the buckling behavior and comparing the experimental and numerical results. The main conclusion was that the presence of cutout could equally well raise the buckling load just as much as lower it. On the other hand, the experimental results were better than the numerical results with percentage (2.3-8.2%). Nanocomposite plates are utilized as underlying parts in aviation, auto and marine designing constructions. Patterns are generally set up as access ports in electrical and mechanical structures or only for decreasing weight.

Abstract

The aim of this investigation is to study the impact response of fibre metal laminates (FMLs) based on S-glass/ PEKK composite and aluminum sheets (2024-T3). Initially, the effect of the temperature excursion of the processing cycle on the tensile strength of the aluminum alloy is investigated. A number of fibre metal laminates based on an aluminum alloy and glass fibre/PEKK composites are then manufactured and subjected to quasi-static testing and impact loading. Finite element analyses are then developed to predict the perforation impact of these FMLs and subsequently validated using the obtained experimental data.

Participation of a teacher from the Department of Materials Engineering in the discussion of a PhD studentShare Asst. Proff. Dr.. Ahmed Ameed Zain Al-Abideen, from the Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology, discussing the PhD student, Roaa Hatem Kazem, from the University of Babylon / College of Materials Engineering, about her titled thesis.

 Abstract

The thesis aim to study the brazing using transient liquid phase technique (TLP) traditional and two steps to join Ni-based super alloys types (IN738LC, IN939) then comparing between similar IN738LC, Similar IN939 and dissimilar IN738LC/IN939. The connection done using 70um foil of BNi-2 filler in vacuum environment. A successful joining efficiency and homogenous microstructure for all types 

  After the discussion, the committee recorded its notes on the thesis, which were split between explanation and correction, and the student’s defense of his work and the discussion ended. The committee decided to evaluate the thesis and grant the student a science master’s degree in materials engineering with a full grade.
