superplastic forming (spf) is a manufacturing process utilized in the automotive industry to produce complex geometry aluminum or magnesium alloy components which cannot be fabricated at room temperature. this paper investigates the effects of the die entry radius and the interfacial friction coefficient on the required forming time and thickness distribution of a superplastic formed part. a co...

production and preparation of many parts of the aircraft body including wings with long length, smooth form, and large radius of curvature are amongst the most important challenges in this industry. in this paper, the effective factors in the rubber pad forming method on a pieces contain curvature radius have been investigated by finite element method. the effect of variables such as curvature ...

in this article, the effect of cells' radius on the behavior of wavelength switching optical filter andthe effect of the radius of the optical filters' key characteristics such as wavelength resonance onan optical filter based on photonic crystals, have been investigated. currently, the most commonapplied mechanism for designing optical filter based on photonic crystals is using twome...

We suggest an approach for finding the maximal and the minimal spectral radius of linear operators from a given compact family of operators, which share a common invariant cone (e.g. family of nonnegative matrices). In the case of families with so-called product structure, this leads to efficient algorithms for optimizing the spectral radius and for finding the joint and lower spectral radii of...

An n-ary k-radius sequence is a finite sequence of elements taken from an alphabet of size n such that any two distinct elements of the alphabet occur within distance k of each other somewhere in the sequence. These sequences were introduced by Jaromczyk and Lonc to model a caching strategy for computing certain functions on large data sets such as medical images. Let fk(n) be the shortest leng...

A simple model of extra-dimensional radius stabilization in a supersymmetric Randall-Sundrum model is presented. In our model, we introduce only a bulk hypermultiplet and source terms on each boundary branes. With an appropriate choice of model parameters, we find that the radius can be stabilized by supersymmetric vacuum conditions. Since the radion mass can be much larger than the gravitino m...
