Advanced Research on Intelligent Materials and Mechanical Engineering

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: Four of the 58 papers presented during the September 2011 conference discuss experiments on the mechanical properties of soybean protein fiber yarn conducted at Qingdao University. Another four papers from the Shaanxi University of Science and Technology investigate the noise dampening abilities of YBaCuO nano-powder, short time power spectrum, and wavelet transform. Other topics include gear fault detection based on fabrication material, composite materials for pressure vessels, laser textured black silicon solar cells, and the effect of glass microballoon size on the compressive strength of syntactic foams.
