Purpose: MMCs have microscopic scale thermal residual stress that is generated after cooling from high temperature Because of the difference of thermal expansion coefficient between the matrix and reinforcement. Because of their high service temperature, automobile parts experience thermal cycling between room and service temperature. Those thermal cycles can vary the properties of the MMCs by changing residual stress field. In this study, the relations between residual stresses and hardness were investigated. Design/methodology/approach: For the residual stress investigations, thermal cycling test was performed. After thermal cycling testing, the thermal residual stress of the MMC was investigated using high resolution Xray diffraction test. On the other hand, the residual stress was calculated by the finite elements method and it was compared to the experimental results. Findings: The residual stress relaxed in the matrix with thermal cycling. With the relaxation of the residual stress, the hardness of the composite was decreased. Research limitations/implications: In this study, the relaxation of residual stress of MMCs was observed with thermal cycling. Further investigations for the mechanical properties, like tensile behaviour and wear properties, should be needed in next study. Originality/value: In this study, numerically calculated residual stress in magnesium matrix MMCs was compared with experimental results.

Purpose: In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-xSn-Al-Zn alloys were investigated. Design/methodology/approach: Ingot was fabricated by a squeeze cast. The alloys were induction melted at 750stopniC in a mild steel crucible under CO2+2%SF6 mixed gas atmosphere and cast into a permanent mould coated with boron nitride spray held at approximately 350 stopniC . Tensile tests were carried out at room temperature in a screw-driven tensile testing machine and crosshead speed was 0.2 mm/min. Microstructural observation was carried out using a optical microscope (OM) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). Findings: It is found that the tensile strength and elongation decreased at room temperature increased with Sn concentration. As a consequence, 5wt% Sn addition was the one exhibiting the best tensile properties at room temperature. The micro-hardness of the alloy continuously increased with increasing the Sn concentration. Practical implications: The investigations of microstructure of commercially magnesium alloys are important for achieving desired mechanical behaviour of the material. Originality/value: The fracture behaviors of magnesium alloys are investigated.

Recently, the ventricular assist devices are widely applied for a surgical treatment of the final stage of severe heart failure as the bridge to heart transplantation or the destination therapy. However, it was anticipated that the artificial components in the ventricular assist devices might cause the problems concerning thrombosis and infection. As heart failure involves the decrease in myocardial contractile function, the mechanical assistance by using an artificial myocardium might be effective. In this study, the authors developed a mechano-electric artificial myocardial assist system (artificial myocardium), which is capable of supporting natural contractile function from the outside of the ventricle.

In this paper a novel robust adaptive fuzzy controller is proposed for the nonlinear system with state-dependent uncertainty. Compared with the conventional adaptive fuzzy controller that determines the function which bounds the uncertainty in the system dynamics by off-line calculation on the local state space, the proposed method determines that function by the fuzzy inference so that guarantees the stability of the closed loop system globally on the whole state space. In addition the method is applied to the multi-input system. We applied the proposed method to the Burn Control of the Tokamak fusion reactor whose dynamical equations contain the state-dependent uncertainty and proved the effectiveness of the scheme by the simulation results.
