The experiments were conducted using Taguchi's experimental design. The effect of cutting parameters on surface roughness was evaluated and the optimum cutting conditions for minimizing the surface roughness were determined. A second order model was established between the cutting parameters and surface roughness, using the response surface methodology. The experimental results revealed that among the parameters considered, the feed rate is the most significant which influences the surface roughness, followed by the cutting speed. The predicted values and measured values are fairly close, which indicates that the developed model can be effectively used to predict the surface roughness in machining the Nimonic C-263 alloy. The predicted values are validated using the additive law.展开更多

Schottky effective barrier heights were calculated by I-V measurement. It is confirmed that the presence of a large amount of surface states related possibly to lattice imperfections existed near the surface leads to the pinning of the surface Fermi level at 0.35eV below the conduction-band edge. Then the fabricated Schottky barrier junctions are evaluated for their use as UV photodetectors.展开更多

The seismic response of soil layer sites are calculated using the one-dimensional equivalent linear method in the frequency domain by choosing the Taft,Kobe and El-centro records as the ground motion input. The results show that the impact of shear velocity variability on the surface ground motion is in relation to the soil layer structure and ground motion input parameters such as amplitude and spectral characteristic. With the increase of shear velocity,the PGA( peak ground acceleration)on the surface of site will increase,however,the characteristic period of the acceleration response spectra is decreasing.展开更多

In this study, 27 experiments were performed based on BBD (Box-Behnken Design) and the work-piece material was 9CrSi steel. The input process parameters were the current, the pulse on time, the pulse off time and the voltage. The effects of the input parameters on the surface finish were evaluated by analysing variance. Besides, from the results of the experiments, a regression equation for determining the surface roughness is introduced. Also, the optimum input parameter values were found in order to get the minimum surface roughness.展开更多

Sorghum is one of the important cereals, which is not so far studied well for extrusion processing. Due to presence of high amount of starch (56%-73%): sorghum could be the good candidate for manufacturing of expanded snacks. The extruded products obtained using extrusion conditions such as feed moisture content (12%-16%), die temperature (150-190℃), screw speed (150-210 rpm) and feed rate (50-70 g min1) are further characterized by analyzing bulk density, expansion ratio, water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), textural properties, color and sensory evaluation. Increase in feed moisture content resulted in extrudates with gradual increase in density, WAI and hardness and decrease in expansion, WSI, crispness and whiteness. Higher barrel temperature reduced the extrudate expansion, bulk density and hardness and increased the WSI and crispness of the extrudates. The most acceptable product is obtained using response surface methodology (RSM).展开更多
