This research was conducted to determine the impact bending strength and dynamic bending strength of Norway spruce wood from Slovenia. An accelerometer was added to the impact pendulum in order to capture the material’s response to an instantaneous load. Impact bending strength of specimens were determined by standard method measuring the height of pendulum before and after the break. While mea...

The hydrostatic extrusion is a new method of extrusion process. The most important advantage of this method is reduction of friction and close tolerance for the coating thickness. In this study, the hydrostatic extrusion simulation of bimetallic wires has performed using of finite element method. In the following the advantages of hydrostatic extrusion compared to the direct extrusion are prese...

Forging dies at high temperatures are under contact pressure, variable mechanical loads and thermal shock, furthermore they should withstand wear and friction in a high level. So, in order to increase die life, the selection of die material, coating and hardness is essential. In this review, various methods used for die life enhancement such as carbide coating, using the super alloy stellite 6 ...

In this study, the effects of heat treatment of aluminum alloy on the tube bending process were investigated in the rotary draw bending process. As two experimental and numerical simulation methods were used to determine the wall-thinning, ovality, and spring back for extruded, annealed, and aged AA6063 aluminum alloy tubes in different bending angles and bend radii. Numerical simulations were ...

this paper is about discrete sensitivity analysis. a triangular bending element with constant moment and six degrees of freedom is used. the required derivatives for sensitivity analysis are calculated explicitly. these formulations, finite element method and sequential linear programming are utilized to find shape optimization of plate bending structures. the numerical examples, which show the...

Nucleic acids are highly charged polyanionic molecules; thus, the ionic conditions are crucial for nucleic acid structural changes such as bending. We use the tightly bound ion theory, which explicitly accounts for the correlation and ensemble effects for counterions, to calculate the electrostatic free energy landscapes for DNA helix bending. The electrostatic free energy landscapes show that ...

Background The performance of TVS, TRS and MRI for the diagnosis of DIE have been separately reported in earlier studies. However, the three methods have not been concurrently compared in terms of their overall performance and classified results as per different anatomical locations of DIE lesions in a large study population. This study was an attempt to compare pelvic magnetic resonance imagin...

Micro-plate implants are jaw in the form of straight plates. The need for micro-plate Indonesia is quite high. Current fabricated using two machining processes, namely Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (wire-EDM) and micro-milling. These processes one reasons why price market expensive. One way to lower shorten implant manufacturing process. This research develops a process EDM die-sinking ma...

Das Benzoldimer ist ein Prototypsystem f r die Untersuchung nichtkovalenter Wechselwirkungen zwischen aromatischen Systemen, die durch Dispersionskr fte bestimmt werden. Es weist zwei miteinander konkurrierende Gleichgewichtsstrukturen auf: eine gekippte, T-fçrmige (edge-toface) und eine, in der die beiden Benzolringe parallel angeordnet, aber zueinander verschoben sind (stacked). Sowohl der ve...

Deutschland steht 2009 vor einem überaus schwierigen Jahr. Vorausschauende Manager schielen aber weniger auf die nicht beeinflussbaren Eckdaten, sondern finden heraus, welche Verbesserungspotenziale in ihrer Firma schlummern. Eine Alternative zu Cost-Cutting-Programmen kann die Optimierung des Projektmanagements sein. Ein kritischer Blick auf den Markt der dafür erforderlichen Projektmanagement...
