This study determined the independent effects of various homogenization cycles and
precipitation treatments on the elevated temperature workability and the final ambient
temperature mechanical properties of AA2024 aluminum alloy and on the T3 tensile
properties of 2014 aluminum alloy as well as T6 tensile properties of 2618 and 2618 (Curich)...
Dielectric waveguides are becoming important for their numerous
applications in integrated optics. The study of dielectric waveguides by analytical
techniques is not sufficient for many variations in waveguide shape, anisotropy,
and inhomogeneity commonly encountered in waveguide materials. This work
studies the finite element method as an accurate tool for the...
