The objective of the current study is to determine the fatigue limit of a clean and high-performance material named as HSLA-100 steel and to compare the obtained fatigue limit with that of theoretically predicted fatigue limit by statistics of extreme value (SEV) method. Also, the size of inclusions located at the site of fatigue crack nucleation on the fracture surface of the fatigue test spec...

Forming limit curves are used as a parameter in finite element analysis to control the material's level of formability. In this research, forming limit diagram (FLD) of SS304L sheet was obtained by ABAQUSfinite element software. In practice, the experimental determination of a forming limit curve is a very time-consuming procedure which requires special and expensive equipment. Forming limit di...

compost is a gradual process in nature by which organic materials are decomposed in the presence of air by microorganisms and fungi. the product is a valuable fertilizer that is used in different places even in home little gardens, so that it has signed as an unnoticed asset. with due attention to the importance of compost, its guidelines and standards should be evaluated. it is pointed and com...

The Betz theory expresses that no horizontal axis wind turbine can extract more than 16/27 (59.3%) of the kinetic energy of the wind. The factor 16/27 (0.593) is known as the Betz limit. Horizontal Axis wind turbine designers try to improve the power performance to reach the Betz limit. Modern operational wind turbines achieve at peak 75% to 80% of the Betz limit. In 1919, Albert Betz used an a...

Building a calibration model with detection and quantification capabilities is identical to the task of building a regression model. Although commonly used by analysts, an application of the calibration model requires at first careful attention to the three components of the regression triplet (data, model, method), examining (a) the data quality of the proposed model; (b) the model quality; (c...

In gamma-ray spectrometry with high-resolution detectors, full-energy peaks are often to be detected by a peak-search algorithm, with a threshold for detection. Detection limits can be derived from this. Detection limits are often computed along with measured activities or concentrations. When an analyte is not detected, the detection limit remains as the only available information. This leads ...

This paper concerns the propagation of particles through a quenched random medium. In the oneand two-dimensional models considered, the local dynamics is given by expanding circle maps and hyperbolic toral automorphisms, respectively. The particle motion in both models is chaotic and found to fluctuate about a linear drift. In the proper scaling limit, the cumulative distribution function of th...

This contribution deals with the modeling and control of flatness defects in form of so–called ski–ends which occur during the hot rolling process of heavy plates. These ski–ends are caused by asymmetrical rolling conditions, e.g., different work roll circumferential speeds or vertical temperature gradients. In a first step, a physics–based model for asymmetrical rolling is derived based on the...
