Nevertheless after a treatment such ashes can have properties relatively comparable with coal fly ashes and thus can be used as Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM).
It can be concluded that water extracted MSWI fly ash can be used as 10 % Portland cement substitute without loss of mechanical properties.
The specimens of mortars (160x40x40 mm prisms) were stored in water for 7, 28 and 90 days and then its bending and compressive strength was measured (ČSN EN 196-1).The influence of thermal load on mechanical properties of mortars was examined by means of measurement of residual compressive and bending strength; the thermal load was realized by heating of 28 days cured samples in a laboratory oven for 4 hours at given temperature.
Another process influencing the residual properties is thermal expansion of aggregate particles; especially the quartz crystal modification transition at 573 °C is understood as an important factor reducing the strength of materials containing quartz.

Parasitic are one of the most important factors for press pack IGBT.
This raises a number of mechanical and electrical issues.
There are basically two important reasons: first, large voltage spikes will result due to the high di/dt and stray inductance, which can destroy the device; second, the discrepancy of parasitic parameters between paralleled chips lead to unequal current distribution, consequently affecting the performance of the whole device[1,2].
Providing the correct dimensions, material properties (resistivity of conductors and permittivity of insulators) and boundary conditions (the conductors and current paths), the software can extract the structural impedances of any arbitrary geometry.
(b) Mesh Some factors must be considered when extracting the parasitic.

For this reason, endeavors have investigated several types of additives to enhance the thermal properties of PCM aiming to provide fast responses.
The inclusion of additional substances must be applied while preserving some crucial PCM properties such as latent heat of fusion/melting and phase change temperature (PCT).
Thermal conductivity enhancements for same (a) nanoparticles [15] and (b) phase change materials [16] The latent heat TES unit shape is one of the most crucial factors that affect the heat transfer rate and phase transition process.
It was found that the fin length and branches angle are more influential factors than the fin thickness regarding their effect on the solidification process acceleration.
Nanoparticles loading concentration/volume fraction can be considered as the most effective factor since it has a superior role in affecting the thermal characteristics of NEPCM.

These are: (a) Weld Nugget (WN) or stirred zone, (b) Thermo-Mechanically Affected Zone (TMAZ), (c) Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), and (d) base metal [5–8].
The heat-affected zone (HAZ) is a thermally-affected zone without much deformation.

However, development of TiAl alloys has been hindered by poor room temperature toughness, poor balance of mechanical properties and manufacturing difficulties.
Major effort now being undertaken in the investment casting is to optimize the casting processes and the post-solidification heattreatment, in order to deliver high-quality casts with an acceptable combination of mechanical properties [14,15].
In addition, the utility of organic resin results in relatively large shrink which affects dimensional accuracy of castings.
In order to gain better integrate properties, it is necessary to refine the coarse cast microstructure through forging and rolling.
Many researchers focus on the MA of TiAl alloys with the process and their impact factors[31].

Mechanical properties were evaluated by hardness tests and three-point bending strength and wear resistance by Pin-on-disk tests.

Several studies carried out by the present authors [5,6] clearly showed that these two local mechanical parameters are strongly affected by the crystal orientation within the polycrystalline aggregate.
Hence, the initiation probability on a slip system can be expressed by: PFn=Pτa≥τath=1-exp-τaτ0m. (1) The normal stress is assumed to modify the initiation conditions by affecting the scale factor.
Moreover, the distributions of these two mesoscopic mechanical quantities are affected by the anisotropic elastic behavior.
