many researchers. The great threaten of terrorizing activates; in addition to instability in different areas of the world drive these researches. Sandwich panels give an optimum and proven tools to handle problems related to design and analysis of such structures. The present work focuses on increasing the blast resistance of steel sandwich panels. These panels can be applied on defense works, homeland security, banks and civilian industries intended to minimize the effects of accidental explosions. Sandwich constructions with metallic hexagonal honeycomb core are utilized in this research due to its high specific strength and stiffness with minimum weight. Minimizing the weight of the metallic hexagonal honeycomb core is regarded as the objective function of the optimization process that was tested under blast loads resulted from detonating 100 kg of TNT at 5-m stand-off distance. The strength and stiffness of honeycomb core panels were evaluated based on constraint condition of strength and deformation.

The author has extended his previously developed computer program [submitted for publication in IWC-2001] that was interfacing with hardware equipment of one leading market supplier in order to develop AutoNDT software.","owner":{"id":71133,"first_name":"Mahmoud","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Farag","page_name":"MahmoudFarag","domain_name":"aucegypt","created_at":"2009-10-13T03:27:44.439-07:00","display_name":"Mahmoud Farag","url":"https://aucegypt.academia.edu/MahmoudFarag"},"attachments":[{"id":118463322,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/118463322/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s0963-869528012900025-120240927-1-jlx0st.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118463322/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"AutoNDT_new_software_for_remote_ultrason.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/118463322/s0963-869528012900025-120240927-1-jlx0st-libre.pdf?1727419716=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DAutoNDT_new_software_for_remote_ultrason.pdf\u0026Expires=1738649171\u0026Signature=XV3SR9uycCCaVjM2b3wkyF~tZmFaEoQ3YccYDNO0OJSty~AW-2ordc6T1CZeFQLZSdZ1kFnv~4wp4odngtmrZaEa7UWJG3Qo3uyJGR7c-ijxw8cGokY6z36Irtle2HCSGslPaKS5F7hQ0wsj7ZGRzORuTpyC-q7BJdMvZz6wx-bojj9y7zm7T~84iOizHkI15NLTLEbOQUPJqaZhf57hPWeJDOUUlLNanzcgcIguHvH4bn6Qm9k3V~cAvViBCMG3USdW6e44w-GyiiusFGepQWOCJjubs4QRS-WOZuSuoy49h84T97yV0Yx04hLuOk~L2RpzQ58ztojyLQv43frIVw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":48,"name":"Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Engineering"},{"id":41009,"name":"Non Destructive Testing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Non_Destructive_Testing"},{"id":47820,"name":"Visual basic","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Visual_basic"},{"id":51166,"name":"Nondestructive testing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Nondestructive_testing"},{"id":53293,"name":"Software","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Software"},{"id":258979,"name":"Computer Program","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Computer_Program"},{"id":447042,"name":"Interfacing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Interfacing"},{"id":1144251,"name":"Ultrasonic Sensor","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ultrasonic_Sensor"},{"id":1389011,"name":"Line Drawings","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Line_Drawings"},{"id":1479300,"name":"Ultrasonic Testing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ultrasonic_Testing"}],"urls":[{"id":44840476,"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0963-8695(01)00025-1"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="124191468"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/124191468/Prevent_Cracking_in_Deposition_of_Carbon_Steel_on_Inconel_625"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Prevent Cracking in Deposition of Carbon Steel on Inconel 625" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/118463295/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/124191468/Prevent_Cracking_in_Deposition_of_Carbon_Steel_on_Inconel_625">Prevent Cracking in Deposition of Carbon Steel on Inconel 625</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>MATEC Web of Conferences</span><span>, 2019</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Welding procedure of clad steel including deposition of carbon steel on nickel base alloy usually...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Welding procedure of clad steel including deposition of carbon steel on nickel base alloy usually gives unaccepted mechanical properties. Cracks were formed along type II boundary in nickel base alloy pass and a martensitic layer was formed in carbon steel pass. In this paper, cracks along type II boundary were prevented by lowering the martensitic start temperature (TMs) of the martensitic layer. Decreasing of TMs was obtained by two methods: Dilution method and Grain refining method. Three levels of TMs (approximately 350, 200, and 50⁰C) are obtained. The results showed that: cracks along type II boundary were prevented at TMs lower than 200⁰C; however type II boundary itself was prevented at TMs lower than 50𠜌. Also post weld heat treatment was necessary to achieve accepted impact properties.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="095faaa731f5f37b57484d9c83ba5fde" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":118463295,"asset_id":124191468,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118463295/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="124191468"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="124191468"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 124191468;

The alternating stress at which the composites lasted for 10 7 cycles was about 16% of the flexural strength. Mathematical models following the assumptions of D'Amore et al.

It has high molecular weight and poor dispersity, which lowers its compatibility with other polymeric materials. Accordingly, it is hard to integrate lignin into polymer-based applications in its native form. Recently, lignin valorization, which aims to boost lignin value and reactivity with other materials, has captured the interest of many researchers. The volatility of oil and gas prices is one strong incentive for them to consider lignin as a potential replacement for many petroleum-based materials. In this chapter, lignin valorization processes, namely hydrogenolysis, pyrolysis, hydro-thermal liquefaction, and hydro-thermal carbonization, are discussed in brief. The chapter also discusses the synthesis of lignin-based epoxy resin as an already existing example of a lignin-based product.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="edfc37c11f88a89f8c899d299e60e58d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":111994568,"asset_id":115644704,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/111994568/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="115644704"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="115644704"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 115644704;

The experimental work was performed on tensile specimens of short gauge length which were loaded at predetermined fractions of the fracture load. The initiation and propagation of fracture in the tensile specimens were studied using both optical and SEM techniques. The analytical work was performed using elastic-plastic finite element analysis. The analytical results were in close agreement with experimental observations and predicted that the stresses and strains are inhomogeneously distributed in the matrix and that yielding starts near the silicon particles, especially in the matrix regions which are confined between two particles. The results also showed that cracking starts in the larger primary silicon particles and then propagates perpendicular to the tensile axis.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="109710284"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="109710284"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 109710284; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=109710284]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=109710284]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 109710284; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='109710284']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=109710284]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":109710284,"title":"Deformation and Fracture of a Two Phase Material Under Tensile Loading","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/109710284/Deformation_and_Fracture_of_a_Two_Phase_Material_Under_Tensile_Loading","owner_id":71133,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":71133,"first_name":"Mahmoud","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Farag","page_name":"MahmoudFarag","domain_name":"aucegypt","created_at":"2009-10-13T03:27:44.439-07:00","display_name":"Mahmoud Farag","url":"https://aucegypt.academia.edu/MahmoudFarag"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="109666318"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/109666318/Design_for_Sustainability_with_Biodegradable_Composites"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Design for Sustainability with Biodegradable Composites" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/107723009/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/109666318/Design_for_Sustainability_with_Biodegradable_Composites">Design for Sustainability with Biodegradable Composites</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Design Engineering and Manufacturing [Working Title]</span><span>, 2019</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Many of the petroleum-based materials and products are causing problems with sustainability of re...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Many of the petroleum-based materials and products are causing problems with sustainability of resources and disposal at the end of their lives.

This PC contributes largely to the NPs' interaction with the biological systems and their subsequent functions. On the one hand, PC can decrease the efficiency of targeting by directing the NPs to the reticuloendothelial system (RES) or by masking the active targeting moieties and decreasing their ability to bind to their target receptors. On the other hand, some components of PC have offered hopes for achieving endogenous targeting. Methods: In this study, we aimed at the investigation of the role of the PC in determining the behavior of cRGDyk peptide-unconjugated and-conjugated NPs (uNPs and cNPs) exhibiting different physicochemical properties and their interaction with melanoma on in vitro and in vivo levels. Mathematical modeling has been utilized to understand the kinetics of the interaction of NPs with the tumor cells and different organs, respectively. Results: Endocytosis and exocytosis were reported to occur simultaneously for the utilized NPs. The balance was largely dependent on the NPs' physicochemical properties and the role of the PC.

The new generations of cars are expected to comply with increasing restrictions on emission, lower energy usage over the lifecycle of the car, and higher requirements for recoverability and recyclability of components. Research has shown that reducing the weight of the motorcar and selecting appropriate materials are among the most important factors that can be used to meet these challenges. It is known that about 85% of the total lifecycle energy consumption occurs during the operation phase of the motorcar and this is directly related to its weight of the car, especially in city driving. In electric and hybrid cars, the size and the distance travelled between consecutive battery charges are also related to the weight of the car. Weight reduction can be achieved by using high performance structures as well as lightweight and advanced materials in the design and manufacture of the motorcar frame, engine, chassis and components. For example, aluminum die castings and extrusions can be used for making the space frame, magnesium castings for engine blocks and instrument panels, fiber reinforced plastics for exterior and internal panels, metal matrix composites for engine components, and power metallurgy and thermal spray coating processes for transmission and engine parts. The light and advanced materials and the processes used for their manufacture are relatively more expensive than their traditional counterparts and are expected to increase the purchase price of the motorcar. However, the economic balance may considerably change if the lifecycle costs are considered. In addition to technical and cost considerations, safety, aesthetic and comfort issues need to be considered in materials substitution for the motorcar. This chapter discusses the different types of new materials and manufacturing processes that can be used to substitute current materials in modern motorcars to enable them to meet the technical and economic challenges that the automotive industry is now facing. A case study is presented to illustrate how quantitative methods can be used in materials substitution. Two methods (Performance/Cost Analysis and the Analytic Hierarchy Process) are introduced and used to reach rational decisions on optimum materials for interior body panels. Natural fiber reinforced plastics are shown to be the optimum materials for economy models and wood is shown to be optimum for luxury models. Â© 2010 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

However, the NDT speci®cations state that the scanning results should be interpreted and judged by quali®ed experts who charge a lot of money and are not available at any time in the scanning site. This work presents AutoNDT, a software that has been developed to provide new features to facilitate the evaluation of ultrasonic scanning results. The most signi®cant feature is its ability to use Internet to transmit echo signals, on-line, as they are being acquired from the ultrasonic scanning device, to other copies of the software running on the computers of NDT experts all over the world. Consequently, expert committees from different companies and countries can be established on-line through the Internet to evaluate the ultrasonic scanning results for important structures without actually being present in the scanning site. Other features include the ability to record continuous streams of echo signals and save them in computer disks, analyze scanning data to locate hazardous peaks, hardcopy echo patterns graphically in formatted reports and paste data digitally or graphically to other Windows applications. The software is also able to communicate to AutoCAD drawings and mark the positions of hazardous peaks on the line drawings of inspected structures.

Cracks were formed along type II boundary in nickel base alloy pass and a martensitic layer was formed in carbon steel pass. In this paper, cracks along type II boundary were prevented by lowering the martensitic start temperature (TMs) of the martensitic layer. Decreasing of TMs was obtained by two methods: Dilution method and Grain refining method. Three levels of TMs (approximately 350, 200, and 50⁰C) are obtained. The results showed that: cracks along type II boundary were prevented at TMs lower than 200⁰C; however type II boundary itself was prevented at TMs lower than 50𠜌. Also post weld heat treatment was necessary to achieve accepted impact properties.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="095faaa731f5f37b57484d9c83ba5fde" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":118463295,"asset_id":124191468,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118463295/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="124191468"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="124191468"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 124191468;

It has high molecular weight and poor dispersity, which lowers its compatibility with other polymeric materials. Accordingly, it is hard to integrate lignin into polymer-based applications in its native form. Recently, lignin valorization, which aims to boost lignin value and reactivity with other materials, has captured the interest of many researchers. The volatility of oil and gas prices is one strong incentive for them to consider lignin as a potential replacement for many petroleum-based materials. In this chapter, lignin valorization processes, namely hydrogenolysis, pyrolysis, hydro-thermal liquefaction, and hydro-thermal carbonization, are discussed in brief. The chapter also discusses the synthesis of lignin-based epoxy resin as an already existing example of a lignin-based product.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="edfc37c11f88a89f8c899d299e60e58d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":111994568,"asset_id":115644704,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/111994568/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="115644704"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="115644704"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 115644704;

To help students perform these activities effectively, guidelines on how to write an effective reflection paper, manage group projects and design effective infographics have been added to the 4th edition.\n","owner":{"id":71133,"first_name":"Mahmoud","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Farag","page_name":"MahmoudFarag","domain_name":"aucegypt","created_at":"2009-10-13T03:27:44.439-07:00","display_name":"Mahmoud Farag","url":"https://aucegypt.academia.edu/MahmoudFarag"},"attachments":[{"id":109169399,"title":"","file_type":"docx","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/109169399/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"4th_Ed_title_and_citation.docx","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/109169399/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"MATERIALS_and_PROCESS_SELECTION_for_ENGI.docx","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/109169399/4th_Ed_title_and_citation.docx?1702894995=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DMATERIALS_and_PROCESS_SELECTION_for_ENGI.docx\u0026Expires=1738649171\u0026Signature=Kdj8O9JBf22bS0~ZT1Q8G-PTsmO6tPDkDdNPpdKEg8LhXqvNNrFGNHwh56uGZtDmf5vN008e-qnTHilO371jKMsyxiJIGkQ~SZojiHTmBPPMYPVmNLuhsRNHzqdANvXzq0YtkDRFt9xq-xwxsnv-S86LWwK6nZO9qyGIfawGgkpijQ9O2HZ06NISiLrdsI797F5iSKPd9EtIqw7rqjpWgO0-NQyOw1k~zYwf1MM6PjfNjtlGJjRwtEm8b7dhVkPnppiBSenLeZ5DpQ1nRYGHlOYNbBhZ35D0xisA56z4AHJED3q4IOU1ETroCLnjRvrQZaDB~q~zp-ao-LaSR4GceQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":15982,"name":"Materials selection in design","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Materials_selection_in_design"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="109710288"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/109710288/Enhancement_of_the_Mechanical_Behavior_of_Starch_Palm_Fiber_Composites"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Enhancement of the Mechanical Behavior of Starch-Palm Fiber Composites" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/107753754/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/109710288/Enhancement_of_the_Mechanical_Behavior_of_Starch_Palm_Fiber_Composites">Enhancement of the Mechanical Behavior of Starch-Palm Fiber Composites</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Materials research proceedings</span><span>, Apr 20, 2019</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licens...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license.

The experimental work was performed on tensile specimens of short gauge length which were loaded at predetermined fractions of the fracture load. The initiation and propagation of fracture in the tensile specimens were studied using both optical and SEM techniques. The analytical work was performed using elastic-plastic finite element analysis. The analytical results were in close agreement with experimental observations and predicted that the stresses and strains are inhomogeneously distributed in the matrix and that yielding starts near the silicon particles, especially in the matrix regions which are confined between two particles. The results also showed that cracking starts in the larger primary silicon particles and then propagates perpendicular to the tensile axis.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="109710284"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="109710284"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 109710284; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=109710284]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=109710284]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 109710284; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='109710284']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=109710284]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":109710284,"title":"Deformation and Fracture of a Two Phase Material Under Tensile Loading","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/109710284/Deformation_and_Fracture_of_a_Two_Phase_Material_Under_Tensile_Loading","owner_id":71133,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":71133,"first_name":"Mahmoud","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Farag","page_name":"MahmoudFarag","domain_name":"aucegypt","created_at":"2009-10-13T03:27:44.439-07:00","display_name":"Mahmoud Farag","url":"https://aucegypt.academia.edu/MahmoudFarag"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="109666318"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/109666318/Design_for_Sustainability_with_Biodegradable_Composites"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Design for Sustainability with Biodegradable Composites" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/107723009/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/109666318/Design_for_Sustainability_with_Biodegradable_Composites">Design for Sustainability with Biodegradable Composites</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Design Engineering and Manufacturing [Working Title]</span><span>, 2019</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Many of the petroleum-based materials and products are causing problems with sustainability of re...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Many of the petroleum-based materials and products are causing problems with sustainability of resources and disposal at the end of their lives.

The concept of design for a life (DFL), in which the material used in making a given product that will biodegrade at the end of its useful life, will also be explored.","owner":{"id":71133,"first_name":"Mahmoud","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Farag","page_name":"MahmoudFarag","domain_name":"aucegypt","created_at":"2009-10-13T03:27:44.439-07:00","display_name":"Mahmoud Farag","url":"https://aucegypt.academia.edu/MahmoudFarag"},"attachments":[{"id":107723009,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/107723009/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"68343.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/107723009/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Design_for_Sustainability_with_Biodegrad.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/107723009/68343-libre.pdf?1700752557=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DDesign_for_Sustainability_with_Biodegrad.pdf\u0026Expires=1738649171\u0026Signature=c8eErKf9mIbziNkroTbVNt-TOQMF2AGeVJWdeXRAqRoFvMYul9hd-Qeu2t2TpGY7eRjZZQPrzaNqVFKlcNOwjVr1Am9TeUrY-uesKCCJgBYuh-184MMzO5PjE2OYhReZNpEqi2uh66iiIGD798kme6uVf4yjWY4Eg35uh3DHMV5V66GvgVri42Tu7s4qPz8v~SG~wquTUIggdq4vEKiCUe1LzOhzvxF6vk7CKSoS7fETFD2GJx7BGDCfKaU05NVHf4O5rQCmIT~vG9LTyEQUEeyG1qBozIVdn8AL~NRaPN1oAAyX3zl1We-k1GSUmTXU2hM8BOX4~5UPfABz92-U~g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"},{"id":107723010,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/107723010/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"68343.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/107723010/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Design_for_Sustainability_with_Biodegrad.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/107723010/68343-libre.pdf?1700752561=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DDesign_for_Sustainability_with_Biodegrad.pdf\u0026Expires=1738649171\u0026Signature=TRFTQhWgzxpfbq482jdWnAxxYe0SX06e1piKNzNMWE76GKoK7987Kgy1tU5nxOxtsW~kgxwk5u9htC4SBPYegGUnzDpzJgMqsQF4TJ7Lbydhu-ybRzebrXM5131rS7ryamFAe9aNnKdu46wRgWFc5RCS~gqYMOoUvwWf0f-AHnvU2uEhXf4X0bFLEF8JRG7O5I-qylFDeMoXwoX5zNK7R9pkqgigFPZvhcdpcWALWBn7gDHzi9ynX2uxcF-Em0h1QYkp~JWCIaU0R~X4NIhC8aotJMzsAE1EJJvGiLkKwvdiXyzz3ZEPC46~4DgPfeDQhJcPUlpWNf1-tbPjwFay-w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":511,"name":"Materials Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Materials_Science"},{"id":87362,"name":"Design and Manufacturing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Design_and_Manufacturing"},{"id":169323,"name":"Composite Material","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Composite_Material"},{"id":771826,"name":"Design for Manufacturing and Assembly","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Design_for_Manufacturing_and_Assembly"},{"id":1140362,"name":"Renewable Resource","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Renewable_Resource"},{"id":1208617,"name":"Sustainability","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sustainability"}],"urls":[{"id":35751774,"url":"http://www.intechopen.com/download/pdf/68343"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

This PC contributes largely to the NPs' interaction with the biological systems and their subsequent functions. On the one hand, PC can decrease the efficiency of targeting by directing the NPs to the reticuloendothelial system (RES) or by masking the active targeting moieties and decreasing their ability to bind to their target receptors. On the other hand, some components of PC have offered hopes for achieving endogenous targeting. Methods: In this study, we aimed at the investigation of the role of the PC in determining the behavior of cRGDyk peptide-unconjugated and-conjugated NPs (uNPs and cNPs) exhibiting different physicochemical properties and their interaction with melanoma on in vitro and in vivo levels. Mathematical modeling has been utilized to understand the kinetics of the interaction of NPs with the tumor cells and different organs, respectively. Results: Endocytosis and exocytosis were reported to occur simultaneously for the utilized NPs. The balance was largely dependent on the NPs' physicochemical properties and the role of the PC. In addition, distinct proteins present in the PC (illustrated in the results of the PC analysis in part I) have also determined the patterns of the NPs' distribution in different organs and tissues of the vascular system, the RES system and the target tumot tissue. Vitronectin (VN) was found to mediate higher accumulation in integrin receptor-expressing melanoma cells, while complement 3 protein (C3) and clusterin (CLU), as an opsonin and dysopsonin, respectively, regulated the balance between the RES uptake and blood circulation. Discussion: PC, if properly modulated by tuning NPs' physicochemical properties, can serve as a potential venue for optimum utilization of NPs in cancer therapy.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="bad208840464216914bf369311bc8103" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":102310637,"asset_id":101897645,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/102310637/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="101897645"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="101897645"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 101897645; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=101897645]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=101897645]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 101897645; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='101897645']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "bad208840464216914bf369311bc8103" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=101897645]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":101897645,"title":"Distinct Proteins in Protein Corona of Nanoparticles Represent a Promising Venue for Endogenous Targeting – Part II: In vitro and in vivo Kinetics Study","translated_title":"","metadata":{"publisher":"Informa UK Limited","ai_title_tag":"Protein Corona Dynamics in Nanoparticle Targeting","grobid_abstract":"Introduction: Nanoparticles (NPs), upon introduction to the biological systems, become wrapped by serum and cellular proteins constituting the protein corona (PC).

The new generations of cars are expected to comply with increasing restrictions on emission, lower energy usage over the lifecycle of the car, and higher requirements for recoverability and recyclability of components. Research has shown that reducing the weight of the motorcar and selecting appropriate materials are among the most important factors that can be used to meet these challenges. It is known that about 85% of the total lifecycle energy consumption occurs during the operation phase of the motorcar and this is directly related to its weight of the car, especially in city driving. In electric and hybrid cars, the size and the distance travelled between consecutive battery charges are also related to the weight of the car. Weight reduction can be achieved by using high performance structures as well as lightweight and advanced materials in the design and manufacture of the motorcar frame, engine, chassis and components. For example, aluminum die castings and extrusions can be used for making the space frame, magnesium castings for engine blocks and instrument panels, fiber reinforced plastics for exterior and internal panels, metal matrix composites for engine components, and power metallurgy and thermal spray coating processes for transmission and engine parts. The light and advanced materials and the processes used for their manufacture are relatively more expensive than their traditional counterparts and are expected to increase the purchase price of the motorcar. However, the economic balance may considerably change if the lifecycle costs are considered. In addition to technical and cost considerations, safety, aesthetic and comfort issues need to be considered in materials substitution for the motorcar. This chapter discusses the different types of new materials and manufacturing processes that can be used to substitute current materials in modern motorcars to enable them to meet the technical and economic challenges that the automotive industry is now facing. A case study is presented to illustrate how quantitative methods can be used in materials substitution. Two methods (Performance/Cost Analysis and the Analytic Hierarchy Process) are introduced and used to reach rational decisions on optimum materials for interior body panels. Natural fiber reinforced plastics are shown to be the optimum materials for economy models and wood is shown to be optimum for luxury models. Â© 2010 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

The model simulates the collective behavior of growing short fatigue cracks originating from the specimen surface roughness. Material grains of different phases, sizes and strengths are randomly distributed over the minimum circumference. Possible activities of surface cracks are predicted against loading cycles. Relevant published experimental data were utilized for comparison.

Such approaches include:<br /><br />• Using industrial case studies to explain engineering concepts. <br />• Assigning reflection papers to get the students to think critically about the material they have read, give their interpretation of the issues under discussion and the lessons learned, and to propose a way forward. <br />• Assigning open-ended problems to simulate real-life engineering practice where problems have more than one satisfactory answer. <br />• Assigning infographics as a tool to present a summary of a topic or to explain the concepts to others.  <br />• Assigning group projects to encourage collaborative learning and teamwork in solving problems and presenting integrated reports.<br />• Adopting open-book exercises and exams, where students are evaluated on how they use the material, rather than how well they recall it. <br />Each of the chapters of the 4th edition provides background information for one or more topical reflection papers, several open-ended problems and group projects, as well as prompts for creating infographics. To help students perform these activities effectively, guidelines on how to write an effective reflection paper, manage group projects and design effective infographics have been added to the 4th edition.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="86f03f61d47b451bb461e055b5587f8b" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":84836680,"asset_id":77532876,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/84836680/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="77532876"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="77532876"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 77532876;
