Wear study of Mg-SiCp reinforcement aluminium metal matrix composite by Maleque, Md. Abdul, ., M. Radhi, Rahman, Md. Mustafizur

“…The study further analysed the effects of different size variations of silicon carbide particles such as the coarse particle size, fine particle size, intermediate particle size and mixed particle size in the fabrication of the composites on the hardness and wear properties. The pin-on-disc test was also done at room temperature in a dry sliding wear condition. …”

Design of a heuristic for balancing a multi-stage production flow line by Kays, H. M. E., Karim, A. N. M., Tajudin, M. N. B., Abdesselam, M.

“…But the solution given by the RPW model loses its exactitude due to the presence of the extra-long tasks. In this research a heuristic approach based on RPW is developed through which the problem has been resolved in an efficient and effective manner and hence the proposed heuristic is deemed to be capable of balancing production lines having such extra-long tasks.…”
