Author:Mathabathe, Maria N; Modiba, Rosinah; Bolokang, Amogelang SDate:Aug 2021The effect of Nb, Sn, Mn, and Si at a concentration of (0.3-2 at. %) on -TiAl based alloys’ preferential occupancy, interfacial energetics and mechanical properties were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) encompassed by the ...Read more
Author:Smith, Andrew CDate:Jun 2008The author presents two technology-augmented physical materials that illiterate coders can sculpt for use as physical syntax elements in a tangible early-programming learning environment. Two physical coding sequences are given. He concludes ...Read more
Author:Opoku, F; Govender, Krishna; van Sittert, CGCE; Govender, PPDate:Dec 2018Over the past decade, remarkable efforts have been made to design low-cost, non-toxic, stable and efficient photocatalyst for water splitting. In the present work, an effective alternative approach to enhance hydrogen production of SrTiO(sub)3 ...Read more
Author:Malan, DF; Napier, JAL; Watson, BPDate:Dec 1994The influence of an interface on the initiation and propagation of fractures was investigated using the Brazilian tensile test (diametral compression of a disc). Failure in the Brazilian test takes the form of an extension fracture in the ...Read more
Author:Botes, Annelize; Bolokang, Amogelang S; Kortidis, Ioannis; Matjeke, VDate:Mar 2019The structure-property relationship of the laser deposited 316 L/St 1.2311 and Fe/St 1.2311 on E9 substrate was investigated. The variation in the geometrical features of the deposited layers, width, thickness, depth of penetration into the ...Read more
