The objective of this study was to develop a numerical model for the prediction of temperature distribution, effective plastic strain distribution, and especially material flow in friction stir welding of copper plates. The DEFORM-3D software was used by incorporating a lagrangian incremental formulation. Threedimensional results of the material flow pattern which were extracted using the po...

The occurrence of shear bands in a complex fluid is generally understood as resulting from a structural evolution of the material under shear, which leads (from a theoretical perspective) to a non-monotonic stationary flow curve related to the coexistence of different states of the material under shear. In this paper we present a scenario for shear-banding in a particular class of complex fluid...

In the present study, the microstructural changes of a Nickel based superalloy Nimonic80A during a non-isothermal deformation were studied. Therefore, microstructure evolutionduring hot side pressing test was predicted with combined methods of finite element analysis andprocessing map of the material. The predicted results were validated through experimentalmicrostructural studies. The results ...

We suggest a scalar model for deformation and flow of an amorphous material such as a foam or an emulsion. To describe elastic, plastic and viscous behaviours, we use three scalar variables: elastic deformation, plastic deformation rate and total deformation rate; and three material-specific parameters: shear modulus, yield deformation and viscosity. We obtain equations valid for different type...

The hydrodynamic studies of fluidized bed reactor has been reported in terms of pressure drop, minimum fluidization velocity and bed volume expansion to contribute to the optimization of the CNTs production parameters in fluidized bed reactors. Minimum fluidization velocity and pressure drop, as the most important parameters, were taken into account for the investigation of the hydrodynamic beh...

Dimensional control of the work-piece in steel industry is of important interest. The main aspects in overcoming the thickness control are variations in material strength due to variations in chemical composition, work-piece temperature, reduction and the strain rate applied to the work-piece. In this paper based on the main parameters affecting the rolling force an attempt been made to give a ...

On high-speed networks, the round trip delay from source to intermediate node and back is relatively large compared with packet transmission times; thus, the window-based method of flow control does not react quickly enough to prevent congestion and large delay. An alternative method is to employ a rate-based flow control scheme, in which each node is assigned a maximum rate and an average rate...
