The particle loaded composites are being used widely for enhanced/tailor-made properties (mechanical, thermal, electrical, etc.) in the end product. Although the particle loaded composites find application in a number of areas, very little information is available on the fabrication of particle loaded composites using liquid composite moulding techniques, the experimental results and characterisation of particle filtration. Also, the effect of filler addition on shape distortion (warpage and spring-in) has not been reported in the literature. Therefore, this study focusses on the three aspects of particle loaded composites, i.e. fabrication process (flow and filtration), product shape (warpage and spring-in) and properties (mechanical). Composite plates were fabricated by VIM process from glass woven fabric and vinyl ester resin, using line injection under the action of vacuum, with different concentrations (0, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%) of silica microparticles (1.128 μm). It was observed that the mould filling time increases as the concentration of filler particles increases in the suspension. It was observed that the front progresses more rapidly near the entrance, and then its movement slows down during the filling. The effect of particle filtration on the thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) along the composite length was also observed. This phenomenon has not been studied/reported in the literature, as a measure of particle filtration. It was found that the CTE was low at the inlet indicating a high particle concentration. Then a gradual decrease in the particle concentration was observed from the inlet towards the outlet. Near outlet, the particle concentration was found to slightly increase due to particle deposition. COMSOL Multiphysics® Modelling Software (v5.3) was also used for the numerical study of flow process and filtration. The numerical and experimental results were found to be in accordance with each other. In the next part, the effect of fillers on shape distortion in flat and angled part composites was studied. For this purpose, composite plates and angled parts reinforced with UD glass fabric were prepared from vinyl ester resin, both with and without fillers. The experimental results showed a 51.6% decrease in the curvature in thin plates by the addition of 5% silica particles. Similarly, the spring-in angle was also found to decrease by 65% in the angled composite parts. The curvature and spring-in were also simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics® Modelling Software (v5.3), and results were in close correlation with the experimental values. The mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, impact and shear) of composite materials were also found to increase after the addition of particles.

یونس رضوی

یونس رضوی(۱۹۲۷ء) سیالکوٹ میں پیدا ہوئے۔ آپ نے ۱۹۴۹ء میں محکمہ انکم ٹیکس میں ملازمت حاصل کی۔ ۱۹۵۴ء میں فلم انڈسٹری لاہور سے رابطہ قائم کیا۔ آپ نے غزل ،نظم اور دیگر اصناف میں طبع آزمائی کی لیکن فلم انڈسٹری سے منسلک ہونے کی وجہ سے آپ کی زیادہ توجہ گیت نگاری کی طرف تھی۔(۷۵۵) ان کا شعری کلام ملک کے مختلف رسائل و جرائد میں چھپتا رہا۔ ایک شعری مجموعہ ’’میرے آنسو میرے گیت‘‘ ،زمزمہ پرنٹنگ پریس سیالکوٹ سے ۱۹۷۶ء میں شائع ہوا۔

یونس نے اردو شاعری میں کوئی نئی اور انوکھی راہیں دریافت نہیں کیں ۔بلکہ وہ اپنی شاعری میں روایت پسندنظر آتے ہیں۔ ان کی شاعری غم و اندوہ کی شاعری ہے۔ مگر ان کے ہر شعر کے پردے میں ایک ایسی چھپی ہوئی مضبوط انا کا وجود ملتا ہے۔ جو حوادث کی ستمرانیوں سے کبھی زخمی نہیں ہوتی۔ اور زندگی کا ہر آنے والا زخم انھیں پہلے سے کہیں زیادہ حوصلہ مند اوربا وقار بنا دیتا ہے۔

یونس رضوی کا نمونہ کلام ملاحظہ ہو:

شبِ سیاہ مکمل شبِ سیاہ نہ تھی

 

تمہاری زلف کا سایہ بھی اس میں ڈالا گیا

 

بساطِ عشق کی بازی تمام ہار گئے

 

مذاقِ عشق ہمارا بلند و بالا گیا

(۷۵۶)

 

غم زمانے کا متاع جسم و جاں تک آگیا

 

آگ کا شعلہ لپک کر آشیاں تک آگیا

 

کٹ تو جائیں گے شب و روز فراق ان کے بغیر

 

دکھ یہی ہے کہ رونق شام و سحر جاتی رہی

(۷۵۷)

 

گردش دوراں کے ہاتھوں اس قدر مجبور ہوں

 

زندگی کی ہر مسرت سے میں کوسوں دور ہوں

(۷۵۸)

A Critique of Robert Spencer’s Views Regarding Dhimmis and Jizya

The following research paper is an academic and historical study of Robert  Spencer’s views about Dhimmis and Jizya. According to Robert Spencer, dhimmis are treated like ‘guilty’ people and subjected to biased and stringent conditions. Furthermore, he believes that there is an entire system of regulations that institutionalize an inferior status for non-Muslims in Islamic law. This paper is an academic effort, aiming to prove that Islam does not treat non-Muslim citizens as inferior and second class citizens nor imposes unbearably rigorous taxes on them. It consists of two parts: the first deals with Robert Spencer’s views regarding Dhimmis and the second part takes into account his views about Jizya. In this connection, all his views and allegations have been taken into consideration and an attempt has been made to absolve Islam of such groundless allegations.

Parallel Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations

Simulation of scientific problems is an important aspect of natural and engineering sciences. Simulations demanding higher accuracy or involving larger data sets require higher computing power. Complex mathematical models involving partial differential equations (PDEs) from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are some examples of these simulations. The conventional serial computers are not able to meet the increasing demand of computation power for such applications and the only rescue is parallel or high-performance computing. This study presents research regarding parallel numerical solution of PDEs. Message Passing Interface (MPI) clusters and Graphic Processor Units (GPUs) being the leading platforms for parallel computing were used for simulation of results. The research begins with the unified analysis of the existing parallel iterative algorithms using MPI. A set of diverse PDEs was solved using the MPI cluster. After getting an insight of iterative methods for MPI platform, the parallel system with shared memory architecture was experimented. The most advent platform in this regard is GPUs having thousands of concurrent running cores along with many Giga bytes (GBs) of memory. 3D Laplace equation was solved using twelve different kernels to exploit the memory hierarchy of GPU and an efficient technique involving surfacing pointer’s capability of GPU was materialized. The GPU kernel exhibiting said features gained a speedup of 70 as compared to serial version of same program running on Intel core i5 processor. The derived technique was further extended to simulate the compressible, high-speed flows modeled by Navier Stokes equations using GPU. Four different structured geometries were modeled; the governing equations were solved using modified RK4 method and TVD scheme was used for shockwave capturing. The derived technique was also used to simulate the flow in micro channel using Lattice Boltzmann Method. The GPU results show a speedup of 23 and 77 as compared with serial variants of codes running on conventional core i5®CPU for both cases respectively. It is evident from obtained results that the performance of CFD and other compute intensive application can be enhanced many folds by using the devised technique involving surface pointers in GPU computation.
