Long-term performance of pot hardware in continuous galvanizing lines
… laser clad coating, at 30% and 50% production line tension. Tests were also conducted on Stellite 6 against Tribaloy T 400 at 50% production line tension. For each test, periodic measurements of wearing rate, surface microstructure and surface hardness were carried out. An unique dross build-up …

Ion Irradiation Induced Roughening and Smoothing of Metal Films on Dielectric Substrates
… patches is followed using in situ TEM. Due to line tension in the curved contact lines during local melting, irradiation induced dewetting occurs much slower than dewetting under homogeneous heating. At high irradiation doses, nanopattern disappear to form nanoparticles with decreased surface …

Simulation of axisymmetric stepped surfaces with a facet
… move in response to two main physical effects: line tension, which is caused by curvature of the step edge, and step-step interactions which can arise because of thermal step fluctuations, or elastic effects. This thesis focuses on axisymmetric crystals, with the result that the position of a …

Zinc pot bearing material wear rate as a function of contact pressure and velocity
There are currently over 50 galvanizing lines in operation in the United States producing approximately 50 million tons per year of galvanized sheet. Frequently zinc-pot hardware fails which causes production delay, resulting in an economic loss. It takes approximately 3 hours to change the …

Coordination among proteins, lipids and water in membrane fusion and fission probed by solid-state NMR
… local curvature of the membrane 2. Altering the line tension at Lo/Ld phase boundaries 3. Forming protein clusters to act collectively on the membrane 4. Altering the local composition of the membrane at the site of fusion or fission 5. Physically disrupting the lipid assemblies, i.e. by …

Lipid and Protein Sorting by, and Generation of, Membrane Curvature in Model Systems
… membrane curvature. In this contribution, the line tension and dipole density differences between demixed fluid phases of monolayers comprised of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and dihydrocholesterol were investigated by measuring the two-dimensional thermal fluctuations of domain boundaries. …

Growth and applicability of radiation-responsive silica nanowires
… is no exception in this regard. Interfacial and line energies are found to impose some fundamental limits during three-phase nanowire growth and lead to formation of stranded nanowires with fascinating characteristics such as high responsiveness towards ion irradiation. By using two materials …

Numerical Calculation of Losses of Trapped Vortices Under Strong RF Meissner Current and DC Superheating Field in Type II Superconductors
… cavities. However, the extreme dynamics of curvilinear elastic vortices driven by very strong currents close to the depairing limit or superheating field of a superconductor with a nanostructured surface has not been well understood. We calculated the superheating field H<em><sub>sh</sub></em> …

Influence Of Cholesterol And Bilayer Asymmetry On Membrane Protein Distribution In Polymer-Tethered Raft-Mimicking Lipid Membranes
… lipid packing density, bilayer thickness, and line tension between lo and ld domains. Importantly, our data show that CHOL plays a substantial role in integrin sequestration in raft-mimicking lipid mixtures. These findings highlight the important role of bilayer asymmetry, distinct lipid …

The incorporation of electrohydrodynamics and other modifications into a dry spinning model to develop a theoretical framework for electrospinning
… e.g., solvent concentration, temperature, spin line tension, and electric field. Preliminary computer simulations were performed; however, the generated data was inconclusive and was determined to be due in part to the complexity of the modeled system and the subsequent computational …

A hydrodynamic analysis of deep-water moorings
… hydrodynamics of deep water moorings and the nonlinear dynamic response of the mooring line, which is representative of a Spar platform and a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT). Emphasis is placed on the coupling effects between the floating body and mooring line and the nonlinear dynamic …
