Influence of residual stress distribution and microstructural characteristics on fatigue failure mechanism in Ni‐based Superalloy
No full textThe influence of residual compressive stress (RCS) depth and magnitude generated through surface treatments such as shot peening (SP), deep cold rolling (DCR), and vibro-peening (VP) on fatigue crack mechanisms of Ni-based superalloy is investigated. The fatigue performance with associated failure mechanisms is measured under strain-controlled fatigue testing upto 104 cycles with total strain in the range of 0.9%–1.4% at an R ratio of 0.1 and 400°C followed by load controlled fatigue until failure. In-depth understanding of the failure mechanism is obtained through fractography analysis, cyclic stress–strain plot, and microstructural features. A pronounced improvement in fatigue life tested at low strain range (0.9%–1.1%) is achieved after inducing RCS up to 400 μm depth. However, the fatigue life is reduced when RCS increased to 800–1000 μm depth. Failure is primarily driven by micro-cracks formed due to balancing tensile stresses and high intensity stress concentration generated as the result of dislocation pile-ups and slip bands. Results are discussed in detail through the evidence of grain refinement, addition of low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs), strain accumulation, and intragranular deformation in the sub-surface.Nanyang Technological UniversityAuthors thank Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, and Advanced Remanufacturing and KUMARET AL.1599 Technology Centre (ARTC), Singapore, for providing research funding support to this project, and Rolls-Royce Singapore for materials support.

Patterns and practices of contemporary software entrepreneurs
Get PDFThesis (S.M.M.O.T.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, Management of Technology Program, 2006.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 106-109)."When you write a book, you need to have more than an interesting story. You need to have a desire to tell the story. You need to be personally invested in some way. You need to care about it." Malcolm Gladwell Author, "The Tipping Point". "I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out, that is the reason why I compose. " Ludwig van Beethoven. The above quotes answer the basic question that many people have asked me (and I have asked myself): Why are you writing a thesis? The answer is simple: I believe there's a story to be told, and I have a personal passion for the subject. This thesis will analyze the patterns and practices of contemporary software startups. Though much has been written about software companies and much has been written on startups, I'm primarily interested in the intersection: software startups. More specifically, I will explore contemporary software startups that were started after the Internet bubble burst. About The Website: onstartups.comAs part of the thesis writing experience, I started a blog called "OnStartups" (http://onstartups.com) where I have been posting articles on software startups. More information on the onstartups.com site is included at the end of the thesis. My passion for learning more about software startups, the opportunity to work with two exceptional individuals as co-advisors and the overwhelming response to my onstartups.com website are my primary motivations for this thesis.

The Influence of Oxidizing Parameters on the Formation of Oxide Layer as a Precursor for the Fabrication of Carbon Fiber-Steel Laminate
Get PDFThe application of fiber metal lamination has been increasing in the engineering industries such as the aerospace, automotive, construction and processing industries. Fiber metal lamination are able to provide a solution to improve metallic materials’ characteristics while improving the fibers’ properties at the same time. With high reliability and cheaper alternative to provide superior properties in material, in fabricating the fiber metal laminates, the surface of contact between the metal and the fiber is a fundamental criterion. The stability of the surface of the metallic substrate is key in avoiding delamination of the fiber metal laminate due to corrosion under insulation where the metallic surface that is bonded with the fiber are decomposed. In this paper, the influence of oxide formation on carbon steel which is a precursor to carbon fiber steel laminate surface discussed with different oxidizing parameters, which are temperature, time, heating rate and surface roughness on the formation of stable oxide layer. An optimum set of oxidizing parameter and levels are determined using the Analysis of Mean (ANOM) technique in Taguchi’s method, and the contribution of each oxidizing parameter in the formation of magnetite layer is done using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method
Multisectoral approach for promoting public health
No full textMultisectoral approach (MSA) refers to deliberate collaboration among various stakeholder groups (e.g., government, civil society, and private sector) and sectors (e.g., health, environment, and economy) to jointly achieve a policy outcome. By engaging multiple sectors, partners can leverage knowledge, expertise, reach, and resources, benefiting from their combined and varied strengths as they work toward the shared goal of producing better health outcomes. Improving public health (PH) is challenging because of the size of its population and wide variation in geography. MSA help in addressing identified health issues in focused way as it helps in pooling the resources and formulating the common objectives. One of the major advantages is optimization of usage of resources by avoiding duplication of inputs and activities which tremendously improve program effectiveness and efficiency. Willingness at the leadership and mandate at the policy level are necessary to plan and execute the successful multisectoral coordination. All the major stakeholders require to share the common vision and perspective. Developing institutional mechanism is utmost requirement as it will standardize the processes of intersectoral coordination (ISC). Creation of PH cadre is strategic move to meet the major health challenges being faced by the health system, and it would be anchor of establishing systematic ISC. There are many national and international examples of MSA applications such as for malaria elimination, tobacco control, HIV/AIDS prevention, Finland's community-based cardiovascular disease prevention project (North Karelia Project), and Singapore's Health Promotion Board. Promotion of MSA within the health system and with other ministries is seen as an important measure for effective implementation and improving efficiency
