Abstract The abrasion resistance of five different types of rubber were compared with steel (St 37) by various testing methods, such as the abrasive paper method, the abrasion cup method and the sand blasting method. The order of resistance of the various types of rubber against sand blasting is different from the order which is obtained with the sandpaper and abrasion cup methods. However, variations of the testing conditions within one method generally does not change the order. It has been shown, that rubber is more resistant against sand blasting than other materials investigated (basalb, malleable steel, non-alloyed hard castings) if the sand blast is directed essentially perpendicularly against the tested surface.

A type of disc-on-plate test methodology was used to determine the wear behavior of metallic binders employed in the manufacturing of diamond impregnated tools. The disc consists of a special circular wheel that allows the binder materials alone (i.e., without diamond, but sintered under conditions identical to those of the complete tool) to be tested against a plate of stone material under pre-determined testing conditions. The testing conditions are intended to be equivalent to those used in the industrial processes. Using plates of five types of granite and one type of marble, this work comprises wear tests of 15 different types of metallic binders and two sintering modes conducted under, at least, three different values of contact-force. The analysis of the results demonstrated that the wear of the binders can be related to their mechanical properties through an empirical expression. The larger the difference between the characteristics of the tribological pair (binder versus stone), the higher is the correlation between the experimental wear data and the values given by the empirical expression. The relationships presented in this work allow predicting the wear behavior of the binder, and therefore may help in the design process of diamond tools. There was a clear difference between the wear behavior of metallic binders when they were employed against the two main classes of stone under analysis (marble and granite).

Abstract This short review presents the landmark discoveries and ideas in rubber abrasion that have brought the field to where it is today. First, the important features of rubber abrasion are reviewed as background for a physical model for the abrasion of rubber. The model, due to Thomas, is described in detail, since it clearly shows the connection between the failure of rubber by abrasive wear and the appropriate rubber fracture properties. The implications of the model for improved abrasion resistance are also discussed. Then, physical principles are applied to the failure of rubber by abrasion in actual products, such as tires. The tire wear model of Schallamach and Turner is described, together with its success in explaining several features of tire wear.

Seven different types of flame-retarding finishes were applied to light-to-medium weight cotton fabric at add-ons appropriate to pass the DOC FF 3–71 test. The finishes studied were based on tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride (THPC), neutralized THPC (THPOH), Fyrol 76, and Pyrovatex CP. The specific finishes were: THPOH-NH3, THPOH-urea-trimethylolmelamine, Proban (THPC-urea precondensate)-NH3, THPC-urea-disodium hydrogen phosphate, Fyrol 76, Fyrol 76-N-methylolacrylamide, and Pyrovatex CP-methylolmelamine. Textile performance properties are reported as a function of add-on of each type of finish; strengths and abrasion resistance of the finished fabrics are considered and discussed as a function of resilience. General trends of decreasing strength and abrasion resistance with increasing resilience were observed for these flame-retardant fabrics. Within this trend there is latitude for selection of finishes that will provide superior performance in the individual textile property such as abrasion resistance, breaking strength, and tearing strength.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) and other forms of bioceramics coatings had been reported to stimulate bone healing, which helps in initial implant integration. This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of air blasting with two combinations of bioceramic powders (hydroxyapatite and calcium oxide) on the selected implant surfaces for surface deposition. Five different types of implant disks were tested, namely Commercially pure (Cp), Sandblasted (SB), Sandblasted and etched(SBE), SLActive®, Roxolid®. The studied samples were blasted with apatite abrasive bioceramic powders, 95% Hydroxyapatite (HA)/5% Calcium Oxide (CaO) and 90% Hydroxyapatite (HA)/10% Calcium Oxide (CaO). The surface and elemental differences between the blasted samples were compared using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). Results after surface treatment had demonstrated changes in surface morphologies; most evidently on the Cp implant discs. All treated surfaces revealed a non-uniform distribution of the treatment on the surface layer, with dispersed patches of bioceramic powders over the surfaces. The experimental blasting method used in this study has demonstrated the ability to deposit bioceramic materials on different implant surfaces.

In this study, experimental and numerical analyses were carried out for determination of cohesion values of different types of rock materials using double shear jaws (DSJ) which can be practically used with the conventional compressive test equipment, to make shear planes in the rock core specimens. Effects of various parameters like jaw dimensions, gaps between triple blocks of the DSJ and contact conditions of the jaw on the results and validity of the cohesion test were investigated considering failure mechanisms of rock core specimens. Instead of a failure induced due to the shear stresses, tensile failures are mostly seen from conventional shear testing conditions. For a valid failure under the control of shear stresses, a DSJ design was suggested to be used in cohesion determination tests according to the results obtained from this study.

The mechanisms of material removal and the interactions among scratches performed in ceramic materials were investigated using acoustic emission signals, and scanning electron microscopy, in scratching experiments. Several testing conditions were used to produce different types of removing mechanism on a glass as well as on a polycrystalline alumina sample composed by heterogeneous grain size. It is known that the material removing process on a polycrystalline ceramic involves intergranular microfracture and grain dislodgement, unlike the chipping produced by the extension of lateral cracks in non-granular materials, such as glass. Distinct settings for velocities, loads, and two types of diamond indenter were tested. The material removal was carried out by three different methods of scratching: single passes, repeated overlapping passes, and parallel scratches. As a general result, there was a clear relationship between the acoustic emission signals and the damage intensity occurred in the material removal. More specifically there were differences in the acoustic emission signal levels in the scratches made on the alumina and on the glass owing to the material removal mechanisms associated with the structure of these materials. A gradual increase in the acoustic emission levels was observed when the number of repeated passes was increased as a result of the damage accumulation process followed by severe material removal. It was also noticed that the acoustic emission signals were capable of reflecting the interactions between two parallel scratches.

This paper presents the survey on different techniques which can be used to detect congenital heart disease using palm patterns. The congenital heart disease is one of the heart diseases which starts from birth. Research works are carried out towards detecting congenital heart disease before symptom appears using palm patterns so that it avoids critical health problems in future. Researchers have collected palm prints from normal people who are not suffering from any kind of heart disease and from patients who are suffering from different types of congenital heart diseases. These palm prints are collected from different hospitals. The palm prints are taken using ink and paper method. These palm patterns are analyzed to determine the role of palm pattern while detection of the disease. Few researchers have considered only triradius of palm and most of the researchers have considered palm patterns such as whorl, loop, arch and hypothenar pattern. In case of triradius, researchers have calculated position of axial triradius and it is categorized into three types. In case of whorl, loop and arch, they have considered how often they appear in palm of normal people and patients. Few researchers have analyzed both left and right hands of normal people and patients.

Currently, there are divergent design and performance demands on railway infrastructure components due to increasing freight axle loads and cumulative gross tonnages, as well as increased investment in high-speed passenger rail development in North America. The divergence in loading and performance demands on shared infrastructure arises from the fact that while high-speed passenger trains exert lower loads at relatively high speeds, freight trains exert high loads at relatively low speeds. Improvements in infrastructure component designs are needed to achieve increased durability and tighter geometric tolerances. According to a rail industry survey administered by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2008, Rail Seat Deterioration (RSD) is the principal performance problem limiting the service life of concrete crossties in North America. Rail infrastructure researchers and industry experts agree that abrasive wear may occur due to relative motion between the rail pad and concrete crosstie rail seat, potentially resulting in RSD. The complex tribological process of abrasion is further complicated and expected to be accelerated by the presence of abrasive fines and moisture, creating 3-body wear condition. Lack of understanding of the abrasion mechanism has resulted in a sub-optimal and iterative design of ties, causing reduced service life. This paper summarizes our efforts in understanding the effect of changing the mix design of concrete on the abrasion resistance of the rail seat which will eventually help us in modeling abrasive wear in RSD by constructing a mathematical relationship between the rail seat wear rate and input parameters including concrete mix design, mechanical/tribological properties of materials involved, normal load applied, presence of moisture, and abrasive fines. To simulate abrasive wear in RSD, a simple experiment is being carried out using a rotating wheel (lapping machine) capable of abrading concrete samples as a part of UIUC’s Small-Scale Abrasion Resistance Test (SSART). The objective of this research is to develop wear performance curves (e.g. wear depth versus load/time/cycles) for lab specimens developed from concrete crosstie mix designs that are currently being used in the industry, as well as for the evaluation of new mix designs. These data will help the rail industry in mechanistically designing concrete crossties by improving the understanding of materials used for concrete crosstie mix designs, with the objective of decreasing life cycle costs for the crosstie and fastening system. Preliminary SSART results are in agreement with relevant literature documenting the relationships between concrete mix designs and curing conditions and the resulting rate of abrasion.
