Thermal buckling analysis of reinforced composite conical shells in acidic environments: Numerical and experimental investigation on the effects of nanoparticles.

This study investigates the effects of acid penetration and temperature on the buckling behavior of conical composite shells, to enhance structural integrity and longevity in corrosive environments. The study explores the impact of acid exposure on thermal properties and examines the efficacy of incorporating nano-silica and nano-clay in preventing buckling. Additionally, it analyzes the influence of nanoparticles on the thermal, moisture, and mechanical properties of the composite material.

Effects of high power ultrasonic vibration on the cold compaction of titanium.

Titanium has widely been used in chemical and aerospace industries. In order to overcome the drawbacks of cold compaction of titanium, the process was assisted by an ultrasonic vibration system. For this purpose, a uniaxial ultrasonic assisted cold powder compaction system was designed and fabricated.
