Experimental Study of Mechanical Properties Geopolymer Concrete.
Abstract: This experimental study aimed to define the parameters for optimum mix design of geopolymer concrete made by partial replacement of cement. The geopolymer concrete is nothing but the formation of fly ash and alkali activators. Fly ash is the waste product from the thermal power station and may use as the pozzolanic material. But, only fly ash is may not the only replacement for the cement, for the more binding …

Effect of Nano-Fillers on the Mechanical and Fracture Behavior of Polymer Composite Matrices: A Review
Abstract: The modification of polymer composite matrices through the incorporation of nano-scale fillers has become a prominent and highly effective strategy for enhancing mechanical performance, stiffness, and fracture resistance. Unlike conventional micro-scale reinforcements, nano-fillers possess exceptionally high surface area–to–volume ratios and unique physicochemical characteristics that significantly influence interfacial phenomena within the polymer matrix. Materials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), nano-silica, and layered silicate nanoclays, introduce advanced toughening mechanisms …

Study of Liquid Rubber Printing on a 3D Printer by Using a Peristaltic Pump
Abstract: The additive manufacturing (AM) process known as direct-ink writing (DIW), also known as direct-print (DP) or direct-write (DW), has great practicality in a variety of material types. In this process, it is essential for the ink formulation utilized for the DIW process to be a paste-type ink with a time-dependent shear-thinning property. Rubber has been utilized in a variety of applications however, the high pressure and temperature needed to treat …

Flexural Behavior of Recycled Asphalt Concrete
Abstract: The operational health of the road network is of the utmost importance for economic and social life. Fatigue life is affected by the growth and accumulation of cracks, under the action of repeated vehicular loading, aging and effect of the environment. The flexural behavior of asphalt concrete depends mainly on the flexibility of the pavement mixture which deteriorate gradually with time. Recycling could be a suitable action to reserve such …

Tri-Route Orchestration of Sr-Modification, MoldVibration, and T6 Treatment on the Microstructure andPerformance of A356 Alloy
Abstract: This study examines the cascade effects of chemical modification, mechanical mold vibration during solidification, and subsequent T6 heat treatment on the microstructural evolution and multi-property enhancement of A356 Alloy cast via permanent mold casting. Initially Sodium (Na) modifying flux (2– 4 wt%) and Strontium (Sr) elemental modifier (0.01–0.05 wt%) were implemented to refine the morphology of eutectic silicon; Sr addition at an optimal concentration of 0.04 wt.% yielded superior eutectic …
