Implementation of Mathematical Models : Examples in Steel Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
Henry Marion Howe was one of the first to apply modern scientific methods to improve understanding of the art of steelmaking. After spending hours carefully observing details of plant operation, he was not afraid to express controversial opinions, and he created ideas that had practical impact on real steelmaking and casting processes. In the same spirit as Howe’s thought-provoking landmark paper in 1875 entitled “What is Steel”, this paper asks the questions: “What is a model?”, “What is model implementation?”, and “Why model?” and offers opinions based on examples taken from the author’s experience in modeling the continuous casting of steel and related processes.

متن کاملPrediction of Mechanical Properties of TWIP Steels using Artificial Neural Network Modeling
In recent years, great attention has been paid to the development of high manganese austenitic TWIP steels exhibiting high tensile strength and exceptional total elongation. Due to low stacking fault energy (SFE), cross slip becomes more difficult in these steels and mechanical twinning is then the favored deformation mode besides dislocation gliding. Chemical composition along with processing ...
متن کاملOptimal lot size of EPQ model considering imperfect and defective products
The economic production quantity (EPQ) is a commonly used inventory model. An assumption in the EPQ model is that all units produced are perfect. Some researchers have studied the effects after relaxing this assumption on the inventory models. The objective of this paper is to determine the economic production quantity with reduced pricing, rework and reject situations in a single-stage system ...
