Combined centrifugal-slip casting method used for preparation the Al2O3-Ni functionally graded composites

New Al2O3–Cu–Ni functionally graded composites manufactured using the centrifugal slip casting

“…The composites were manufactured using the centrifugal slip casting technique. This method combines the simultaneous action of centrifugal force with the action of capillary forces removing the liquid medium from the suspension as a result of the use of porous gypsum molds 22 . In this experiment, suspension with 50 vol% of solid content was used to obtain composites.…”

“…A total metal content share in this three‐component system was 15 vol%, wherein 7.5 vol% was occupied by nickel and 7.5 vol% by copper. The samples have been prepared according to the process that has been described in our previous research 17‐18,22 . For the production of composites, a gypsum mold made of STODEN (Poland) gypsum was used.…”

“…The sintering process parameters were selected on the basis of previous experimental studies 18,22 . The sintering conditions were selected on the basis of the phase diagram of the copper‐nickel system.…”

State-space Levy solution for size-dependent static, free vibration and buckling behaviours of functionally graded sandwich plates

“…By substituting Eqs. (8) and (9) into Eq. 12, these resultant components can be described in terms of mid-plane displacements as in Appendix…”

“…Recent developments in technology require the knowledge of small-scale structural elements, which are commonly presented in MEMS and NEMS such as thin films, nano-probes, sensors, actuators and other devices. There have been much developments in manufacturing-and measuring-process for these small-scale FG structures in recent years [5][6][7][8], which attract more research in investigating the behaviours of such structures. It is evidenced from experiments [9][10][11] that when the dimensions of these structures are reduced to a certain value, the size effects in structural behaviours can be observed.…”
