Microstructural and Elastic Properties of Stable Aluminium-rich TiAl and TiAl2 Formed Phase Intermetallics
(North-Holland, 2021)
We studied aluminium-rich Ti-Al (Ti32Al68 and Ti40Al60) binary alloys that were composed of TiAl and TiAl2 lamellar microstructures. The law of mixtures was employed in calculating the theoretical Young’s moduli. The lattice ...
Investigation of long acoustic waveguides for the very low frequency characterization of monolayer and stratified air-saturated poroelastic materials
(Elsevier, 2021)
When sound propagates in a porous medium, it is attenuated via several energy loss mechanisms which are switched on or off as the excitation frequency varies. The classical way of measuring acoustic energy loss in porous ...
Enhancing climate action at grassroots levels in least developed countries: unlocking bio-briquetting opportunities for communities in Wajir, Vihiga, Kitui, and Kajiado counties in Kenya
(Inderscience Publishers (IEL), 2021)
Grassroots communities are often the hardest hit by climate change. They also appreciably contribute to the problem through activities like deforestation, land use changes, and cooking with firewood. Bio-briquettes from ...
Ab initio study of elastic properties of orthorhombic cadmium stannate as a substrate for the manufacture of MEMS devices
(Science Direct, 2021)
The elastic properties of the orthorhombic cadmium stannate (Cd2SnO4) were investigated using density functional theory, applying both energy-strain relationship (which is found in the literature) and stress-strain ...
