Abstract
The phenomenon of mechanoluminescence (ML) refers to the emission of light induced by mechanical stimulation applied to mechano-optical materials for example SrAl2O3:Eu,Dy (SAO). Numerous technologies on the basis of ML have been presented to visualize the stress or strain in various structures for the applications including structural health monitoring. As a result, extensive... More

Abstract
This study analyzed a recrystallization phenomenon that occurred simultaneously with hightemperature oxidation on the surface of a directionally solidified CM247LC creep specimen, using optical and scanning electron microscopy. After heat treatment, the surface of the specimen subjected to the creep test at 982oC was oxidized by exposure to high temperature and underwent microstructural... More

Abstract
The friction properties of brake friction materials are investigated utilizing the different car cleaners. Water, wheel cleaner and tire dressing were used to designate driving conditions in the field. The friction materials were soaked in each solution before friction test. The Coefficient of friction (COF) was similar in the case of water and... More

Abstract
WC-Co cemented carbide has excellent mechanical properties and is widely used in many industrial applications including cold forging dies and cutting tools. The tensile and fatigue properties of WC-20wt%Co cemented carbides with microstructural variations were investigated. Microstructure parameters such as Co binder content, WC particle size, binder mean free path, and contiguity were... More
