Effects of post-processing on the microstructural evolution and mechanical behaviour of an additively manufactured AlSi10Mg alloy by R. Ramesh, Saurabh Gairola, R. Jayaganthan, M. Kamaraj

“…The strengthening mechanisms contributing to the high tensile and fatigue strength in different conditions were explored using various microscopy techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Electron Back-Scattered Diffraction (EBSD). Silicon precipitates, in the form of cellular structures and spherical forms, were found to significantly contribute to the strength of an alloy, accounting for 63%, 52%, and 50.7% of the total strength in AB, HT and HT + SB conditions, respectively.…”

Animal Species Identification in Historical Parchments by Continuous Wavelet Transform–Convolutional Neural Network Classifier Applied to Ultraviolet–Visible–Near-Infrared Spectros... by Nicolas Roy, Henry Pièrard, Julie Bouhy, Alexandre Mayer, Olivier Deparis, David Gravis

“…Our study shows that the animal species signature is encoded in a wide band-convoluted wavelength range rather than in specific narrow bands, implying a complex phenotype expression that influences the light scattering by the material. Indeed, the overall skin composition, in both micro- and macroscopic physicochemical properties, is relevant for animal identification in parchment manuscripts.…”

Assembly Design and Experiment of Silent Chain by Ding Song, Chi Chunyan, Shao Guiyang, Jiang Donglin, Xu Jing, Xiu Ruixian

“…In order to improve the service life of the silent chain,a new silent chain assembly method is proposed.The chain plate of clearance fit at the ends of pin and pad of interference fit are changed to outer chain plate of interference fit where the joint is locked with the circlip to improve the chain ability to withstand lateral impact.The extrusion force test is conducted on outer chain plate of interference fit and pad of interference fit,the test result shows that extrusion force of outer chain plate is 4.52 times that of pad.The shear force failure test is conducted on joint lock piece and the test result shows that the failed shear force of the s circlip is 3.87 times that of the 2×12cotter pin.The qualitative test of ten thousand kilometers of off-road vehicle shows that the silent chain installed with traditional method has to be repaired or replaced for every seven hundred kilometers while the silent chain with new assembly method does not fail due to falling off of the chain plate or extrusion of the joint.These two experimental results both prove the reasonableness of new assembly method for silent chain and effectiveness to withstand lateral impact.…”
