Referring to Chong et al. [7] and discussed in previous section, the leading edge of the guide vanes were located at 28.6° of 12cm radius.
From these results, when compared to results from Normayati et al. [11] in Table 2, it proves that with the installation of baffle, flow uniformity distortion can be reduced up to 63%.
The best produced pressure recovery of Cp = 0.526 was recorded when the system operated at maximum Rein = 1.775E+05, compared to Cp = 0.239 recorded by Normayati et al. [12] at the same Rein with 54.6% deviation of improvement.

According to Khan et al [20], based on results in wood, this hydroxyl (OH) activity may be associated not only to adsorbed water onto the fiber surface but also to alcohols existing in the fiber constituents such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin.
For instance, the 900 cm-1 band was indicated by Ray et al [23] as due to β-glucosidic linkage.

Magdy et al. [2] found that yield stress increased slightly with increasing the TPS content up to 20 wt%, and it began to decrease when TPS content up to 25 wt%.
Wang et al. [6] prepared TPS/LDPE blends using maleic anhydride as compatibilizer by one-step molding method, starch and polyethylene mass ratio was up to 7:1, but it was found that the one-step molding step may cause bad mixing of starch and glycerol, which affected the formation of thermoplastic starch.
Bikiaris et al. [7] used two-step molding to prepare LDPE/TPS plastic, thermoplastic starch was first prepared, and then adding a certain amount of the compatibilizer maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MA) and LDPE to blend extrude LDPE/TPS plastic.

In the case of mixed convection with buoyancy effects due to thermal diffusion, Cheng et al. [9] discussed mixed convective heat transfer in the entrance region of a rectangular duct at a large Prandtl number.
With combined buoyancy effects, Lin et al. discuss the heat and mass transfer in a vertical pipe [11] and in horizontal square duct [12]; a uniform temperature and concentration was assumed at the bottom wall.
A combined experimental and numerical investigation was carried out by C.Yu et al. [14].

However, a large number of Mg alloys used for casting are confined to Mg-Al system such as AZ91 or AM60 alloys.
Experimental Procedure AZ91 alloy (Mg-9.2wt.% Al-0.75wt.% Zn-0.21wt.% Mn) and experimental MX alloy (Mg-Sn-X) were studied in the present study.

By exploiting a mixed laminated theory with a high order displacement field, Correia et al. [5] discussed the active control of axisymmetric shells with piezoelectric layers.
Ottavio et al.[6] gave the closed-form solutions for the free-vibration problem of simply supported, orthotropic piezoelectric shell.
Using a semi-analytical axisymmetric shell finite element model, Santos et al.[10] studied the bending and free vibrations of multilayered cylindrical shells with piezoelectric properties.

As an example, Cho et al. [15] have used a commercial block copolymer to enhance CNT dispersion in epoxy resin.
As shown by Park et al. [22], because of a lack of control, the PMMA block presents a high polydispersity index.

Influence of Impact Speed on the Quality of Riveted Lap Joints of Composite/Metal Stacks Ibai Ojeda1,a*, Bilal El Moussaoui1,b, Edurne Iriondo1,c, Franck Andres Girot1,2,d 1 Mechanical Engineering Department, UPV/EHU, Bilbao, Spain 2IKERBASQUE, Basque Foundation for Science, Bilbao, Spain aibai.ojeda@ehu.eus, bbilal.elmoussssaoui@ehu.eus, cedurne.iriondo@ehu.eus, dfrank.girot@ehu.eus Keywords: Aeronautical, joining, Riveting, EMR, FEM, Composites Abstract.
Hao Jiang et al. [9] proposed that when the round head rivet is placed on the lower part together with the CFRP sheet, the microdefects of CFRP sheet in the joint was the fewest.
Zengqiang Cao et al. [6] formulate that the use of a special washer, see Fig. 5, and adequate clearance between the shaft and the aperture wall can restrict shaft expansion and prevent damage to composite materials, and also studies the configuration of the washer and the riveting clearance of composite laminates.
The experimental riveting process is carried out by a drop tower, to simulate this and to save simulation time the punch is modelled al the momentum of contact with the rivet.
Effect of locking mode on mechanical properties and failure behavior of CFRP/Al electromagnetic riveted joint.

A pulsating loading path, under which the internal hydraulic pressure necessary for bulging a tubular part is intentionally oscillated during tube hydro-forming, was proposed by Rikimaru et al [12] and proved that it can not only delay the happening of wrinkling and cracking but can also reduce the hydraulic pressure for hydro-forming.
Hama et al [13] made a finite element analysis on the pulsating hydro-forming of a three-dimensional automotive part and the result shows that enough bulging height can be obtained by applying a small hydraulic pressure.
Yuan et al [14] investigated the pulsating hydro-forming of an automotive subframe by finite element simulation and the study shows that the pulsating path can restrain the local excessive thinning perfectly.
Yang et al [15] explored the mechanism of pulsating hydro-forming by finite element simulation and concluded that the uniformity of wall thickness of a formed part was improved remarkably since the pulsating hydraulic pressure had driven the deformation zone into two alternating states “Tiny wrinkling appears and then disappeared’’.
