Techniques for conversion of natural video scenes into drawing-style videos are frequently used to produce animated movies. In the past, the conversion was manually performed, what demanded a lot of time and a high production cost. Recently, with the advancement of computer vision techniques and the development of new deep learning algorithms, 'drawing' can be automatically performed. Neverthel...

Hydro-mechanical deep drawing is a process for producing cup shaped parts with the assistance of a pressurized fluid. In the present work, numerical simulation of the conventional and counter pressure deep drawing processes has been done with the help of a finite element method based software. Simulation results were analyzed to study the improvement in drawability by using hydro-mechanical pro...

In 7 free-recall experiments, the benefit of creating drawings of to-be-remembered information relative to writing was examined as a mnemonic strategy. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants were presented with a list of words and were asked to either draw or write out each. Drawn words were better recalled than written. Experiments 3-5 showed that the memory boost provided by drawing could not b...

Primljeno (Received): 2011-10-10 Prihvaćeno (Accepted): 2012-02-09 Original scientific paper It is well-known from practice that only some cups whose height is smaller than diameter can be successfully drawn in one step. Many steps require more tools and larger total manufacturing costs. The main objective of this study was to minimize the number of deep-drawing steps. The paper presents the ap...

In this paper, traditional process design rules for deep drawing of box shapes are used to develop constraints within a dynamic programming (DP) approach to generate a set of alternative optimized process plans that minimize the number of drawing stages and heat treatments. The DP approach is capable of scanning a wide range of different alternative values for process parameters which allows fo...

Abstract   Fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) are new type of composite materials which could improve defects of traditional composites in ductility, formability, impact and damage tolerance. Drawing behavior of a thermoplastic based FML was investigated consisting of glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene composite laminate and aluminum AA1200-O as the core and skin layers, respectively. The effects o...
