Application of neural networks in determination of compressive strength of concrete
(Revista Romana de Materiale/ Romanian Journal of Materials, 2012)
This paper presents the optimization of concrete mixtures composition related to a physical property and the process of production of trial mix design by using the multi-layered feed-forward neural networks. This optimization ...
Failure analysis of hydraulic turbine shaft
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
This paper describes the analysis of major failure of 28 MW horizontal hydro turbine shaft. The analysis of load carrying capacity of critical radius and fractography analysis are presented. Special emphasize is on ...
The possibility of substitution of wear resistant low chromium white iron resistant with basalt melt
(Editura Stiintifica Fmr, Bucharest, 2012)
In this study the testing results of the possibility of substituting mill lining plates for ore milling made of low chromium white iron that is resistant to wear with plates made of basalt melt are presented. Plates made ...
Evalution of concretes with standard and recycled raw materials for high temperature application
(Revista Romana de Materiale/ Romanian Journal of Materials, 2012)
Concrete undergoing thermal treatment before and during life-service can be applied as building material for thermal insulation in high-temperature plants. When such concretes are designed with secondary raw materials they ...
Removal of toxic metals from industrial sludge by fixing in brick structure
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
The aim of this study was to test utilization possibilities of industrial sludge in masonry industry, as well as risk of toxic elements leaching potential. Sludge is generated in a hot-dip galvanizing process after waste ...
Process parameters influence on microstructural properties of hypereutectic al-18wt% Si alloys obtained by rheocasting process
(Editura Stiintifica Fmr, Bucharest, 2012)
Hypereutectic Al-18wt%Si alloy was obtained by conventional and rheocasting procedure at cooling rate 0.16 +/- 0.05 degrees Cs-1. Samples of rheocasted alloy were obtained at two stirring speeds 1000 and 1500 rpm. Tests ...
Concrete paving blocks and flags made with crushed brick as aggregate
(Construction and Building Materials, 2012)
Demolition of old buildings in urban cores has produced a large amount of waste material. Since they are mostly masonry structures the largest part of the waste material is ceramic waste. Besides that, ceramic waste is ...
Dehydration investigations of a refractory concrete using DTA method
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2012)
The base mix refractory concrete is corundum-based, containing corundum as refractory aggregate and CAC as hydraulic binder, with a spinel as an additive. The authors investigated the dehydration reactions which occur from ...
Synthesis, characterization and application of the filler based on corundum for obtaining the ceramic coats in foundry
(Editura Stiintifica Fmr, Bucharest, 2012)
In this work, a possibility to develop new ceramic coats based corundum for casting applications has been examined. Optimization of coating composition with controlled rheological properties was attained by applying different ...
