For massive brittle materials, the fracture toughness in mode I, KIC, can be determined using
various reliable techniques. Besides, Vickers Indentation Fracture (VIF) technique has been …

At its early stages of development, thermal spray technology was mostly used for the repair,
rebuilding, retrofitting, and for surface protection against corrosion, erosion and wear. The …

This paper presents a modular implementation of an artificial neural network to model the
atmospheric plasma spray process in predicting the in-flight particle characteristics from the …

In the modern world, surface engineering technologies have been playing an important role
to overcome in-service degradation of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. In this context, the …
