Polymer solar cells are attracting attention as next-generation energy sources. Scalable deposition techniques of high-quality organic films should be guaranteed to realize highly efficient polymer solar cells in large areas for commercial viability. Herein, we introduce an ultrafast, scalable, and versatile process for forming high-quality organic films on an aqueous substrate by utilizing the...

This paper analyses the influence of residual stresses and strain hardening due to the cold rollforming process on the load carrying capacity of perforated rack columns. First of all, a residual strain distribution of the manufacturing process is obtained via a finite element analysis and then it is introduced in the model as initial state to carry out a nonlinear buckling analysis. Two differe...

In the present study, the presence of brass mesh on the bond strength of aluminum (AA1050) strips in the cold roll bonding process was investigated. The influence of various process parameters including reduction in thickness, pre-rolling annealing, initial thickness of the strips, and post-rolling annealing was also considered. After cold roll bonding process, peeling test was carried out and ...

Abstract In metalworking, bending forming processes are used extensively for a wide range of applications referring to several industrial fields, such as oil&gas field, naval field or automotive field. cylinders and truncated cones process, three-point roll metal sheets represents concrete option, which mainly consists pyramid-type machines made two lower rolls top roll. Each can be designe...
