Two-phase model for processing materials in semisolid state
(Affiliation: Worcester Polytechnic Inst, Worcester, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Alexandrou, Andreas N.Worcester Polytechnic Inst, Worcester, United States, 1998)
The importance of processing of metal and metal matrix composites in semisolid state is increasing quite rapidly due to the distinct advantages it offers over similar methods of near-net-shape making. In this investigation ...
Long-time Stability of Mg2(Si-Sn-Ge) - Based Thermoelectrics Under Large Temperature Gradient Conditions
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)
We study the thermoelectric properties and stability of Mg2(Si-Sn-Ge) composite, prepared by a combination of ball milling process and heating treatment followed by Spark Plasma Sintering and densification. The goal of ...

Vibration Measurement of Occupational Exposed Workers, Experimental Quantification of the Individual Response Parameters for the Estimation of Uncertainty in the Vertical Direction
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014)
The exposure of seated people to whole body vibration has been extensively researched and modelled during the past two decades. The trend is to use the average biodynamic responses. This paper investigates the relation of ...
Numerical modeling of turbulent airflow and particle deposition in a bifurcating airway model
(Affiliation: UCY-CompSci Computational Sciences Laboratory, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Radhakrishnan, H.UCY-CompSci Computational Sciences Laboratory, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus, 2009)
Understanding transport and deposition of inhaled particles in the human airways plays a crucial role in the targeted therapy of pulmonary diseases, and the administration of inhaled medicines. Numerous researchers have ...
