A combination of unsteady 3D CFD simulations and experimental temperature measurements was employed to determine the effect loading patterns on distribution within steel forgings inside a gas-fired heat treatment furnace. This aimed obtain more homogenous distribution. Besides, hybrid methodology using numerical high-resolution dilatometer allowed improving residence time The influence skids ex...

Following the 2012 Emilia-Romagna seismic sequence, widespread liquefaction of silty sands was observed, providing opportunity to enhance our knowledge influence fines content on hazard and mitigation works. This paper presents results a thorough geotechnical investigation performed in connection with full-scale controlled blast tests Bondeno, Italy, small village that suffered 2012. Piezocone ...

This paper describes the development of an innovative instrumented and automated 2.45GHz multimode microwave cavity for sintering uranium oxide based nuclear fuels (UO2, (U,Pu)O2, (U,Am)O2 …). The cell were designed using Finite Element simulation expertise acquired over years on heating. original setup allows hybrid homogeneous heating fuels. Reliable in situ monitoring samples' shrinkage temp...

Armor steel is a special grade of that commonly designed for providing protection the army resources from different piercing ammunitions. This must be assessed through its mechanical properties, and ballistic resistant to confirm their ability withstand resistance armor-piercing ammunition, before being subjected use. Case study armor sheet 6mm thickness has been normal test EN1522, one project...

Padma Multipurpose Bridge is situated on a section of the river where soil condition highly heterogeneous and intermixed with different layers, for which pile design was critical part. This paper describes properties ground profiling Bridge. Different types field laboratory tests were carried out to obtain accurate parameters profiles along whole alignment bridge. Standard Penetration Tests, Co...

Abstract Press hardening grades are widely used in automotive industries for safety-critical structural parts due to their unique combination of high strength, excellent formability, and crash performance. Considering various scenarios on thermo-mechanical profiles different hot stamping lines, achieving the targeted strength ductility / fracture strain hot-stamped is still challenging some sta...
