For any viscoelastic material, creep is a phenomenon which tends to change microstructure and the mechanical properties of material. Therefore, it is important to quantify and predict the creep and creep rate of a component. ...

In real engineering applications, materials are subjected to different types of loads applied in several directions. Characterizing materials using the Uni-axial tensile testing can be only enough for Isotropic materials. ...

In this study, a 2-Dimensional computational model to predict the filtration efficiency of the electret layer of N95 facemask was developed. The fiber packing density, fiber diameter and fiber layer thickness were included ...

To electro-spin a polymer solution, certain specific conditions need to be met, for example, acetyl content (A) (38- 40%), degree of substitution (DS) (2.3-2.5), molecular weight(M) (30,000 100,000 gmol-1) solution system ...

This research focus on developing laterite soil-based composite wall panels by using soil cement mixture, reinforced with cellulose fibers from pretreated cornhusk. In this, effect of various laterite soils and cement ...

For the first time in Sri Lanka, rectus femoris muscle has been used to characterize the mechanical properties of human soft tissues. These properties can be used to synthesis artificial tissue for bio engineering applications; ...

Graphene has been identified as a promising material for electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) owing to its large surface area and high conductivity. This study aims to develop a computation model to study the double ...

A perovskite solar cells were studied using the Solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS). The effect of the cation on the performance of perovskite solar cells with MA3Bi2I9 as the light-absorbing material and perovskite ...

GO (Graphene Oxide) is one of the most promising candidates for application of energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors. For energy storage applications, surface area of the material is very important. ...
