Role and Application of Aluminum Alloys
Abstract: Alloy wheels are wheels that are made from an alloy of aluminum or magnesium. Alloys are mixtures of metal and other elements. They generally provide greater strength over pure metals, which are usually much softer and more ductile. Aircraft manufacturers use high-strength alloys (principally alloy 7075) to strengthen aluminum aircraft structures. Aluminum alloy 7075 has Copper (1.6 %), Magnesium (2.5 %) and zinc (5.6 %) added for ultimate strength, but …

Rocket Propellants as an Efficient Energetic Material
Abstract: Rocket propellant is either a high oxygen containing fuel or a mixture of fuel plus oxidant, whose combustion takes place, in a definite and controlled manner with the evolution of a huge volume of gas. In the rocket engine, the propellant is burnt in the combustion chamber and the hot jet of gases (usually at very high pressures, with combustion temperatures approaching 3000K) escapes through the nozzle at very high …

An Analysis of Effect of Eccentricity on Design of Isolated Footings
Abstract: Footings are frequently exposed to moments from columns in addition to the axial loads. The presence of convinced amount of eccentricity of loading in the footing persuades moment on footing. A cautious consideration has to be given to the presence of eccentricity, while performing the analysis and design of such footings, as an increase in eccentricity beyond certain limit reduces a considerable area of footing ineffective to fight the stresses …

Peri-implant Inflammation Defined by the Implant–Abutment Interface
Abstract: An interface of implant-abutment at the alveolar bone crest is allied with sustained peri-implant inflammation; though, whether extent of inflammation is correspondingly reliant on interface position remains unknown. This study compared the distribution and density of inflammatory cells surrounding implants with a supracrestal, crestal, or subcrestal implant-abutment interface. All implants established a parallel pattern of peri-implant inflammation: neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) extremely collected at or proximately coronal to the interface. …
