The stacking sequence of plies affects the overall stiffness and failure properties of the designed structure.
Modelling of laminate failure is often endeavoured on the mesoscale, where a laminate is considered to be consisting of homogeneous plies, each with orthotropic properties that depend on the fibre orientation.
Effect of stacking sequence is focused particularly on the 90° ply thickness which mostly affects the transverse cracks initiation and propagation. 2.

From all of these stages, cooling is the most significant stage that affects the productivity and the quality of the moulded parts [3].
Formula (10) shows that the cooling channels configuration does not directly affect the cooling time.
However, it affects the mould surface temperature, thus indirectly affect the cooling time.
Table 1 shows the material properties for coolant, mould inserts (cavity and core inserts) and plastic material.
Material Properties.

This is probably due to the fact that ammonium phosphates saturate the top layer of wood and due to their inhibitory properties contain flares.
Due to their adhesive properties, gel-forming systems are firmly attached to the surface of the object, which is protected during firefighting, which significantly affects the rate of their fire-fighting capacity.
That is, the process of extinguishing such fires depends significantly on the human factor.
The aim of the work is to improve the efficiency of firefighting of various equipment in the undercarriage space of cars at subway stations due to the adhesive properties of gel-forming compositions.

Excellent service properties of these alloys at high temperatures are achieved by thorough optimization of the complex composition, where the number of alloying elements can reach 10 or more.
Concentrations of Al and Co are multiplied by a factor of 5, concentration of W by a factor of 10.
The values characterize how much the diffusivity of a given element is affected by other components.
First, it is needed for alloy design oriented on the development of alloys with low diffusion mobility which provides high service properties of superalloys at elevated temperatures.

However, the comparison of the photocatalytic performances of WO3 nanoparticles depends upon the two factors namely different sizes and various calcinations temperatures.
Doping of Hf4+ shifts both VB and CB edges of WO3 upwards to enhance the water splitting without affecting the visible light absorption ability of WO3 [30].
The photocatalytic properties microstructures and compositions, of synthesized hierarchical photocatalysts (Ag/AgCl@WO3) were affected by the morphologies of the WO3 powder (i.e., nanorods and nanoparticulates), amounts of WO3 and photo reduction times.
However, optical properties, electrical conductivity, electronic band structure, chromic effect, photocatalytic properties and respective change in shape, size and morphology of WOx many fundamental issues that need to be addressed.

The factor of merit of a magnet is defined by the (BH)max energy product which indicates the maximum resistance to demagnetization.
Hence, it is quite valuable to install these properties in the starting precursor.
Several routes have been proposed to develop optimized properties, namely to improve the anisotropy of a texture that is isotropic in principle.
Besides, doping of the Nd-Fe-B alloy is found of interest to generate better properties, namely the coercive field.

Introduction S30432 austenitic stainless steel, developed on the basis of TP304H austenitic steel, is extensively used as the super-heater tubes in critical and super critical power plants, due to its superior mechanical properties at elevated temperature [1].
It is therefore of interest to apply a mechanical surface treatment to enhance their oxidization resistance.
Shot peening is a widely used surface treatment, which could improve the surface-related properties such as fatigue, stress corrosion, due to the compressive residual stress and refined microstructure in near surface layer after shot peening [4, 5].
And the mechanical relaxation of the shot peened S30432 steel has been discussed in details.
It reveals that the annealing temperature is a critical factor for micro-strain relaxation.
