The binder force in sheet metal forming controls the material flow into the die cavity. Maintaining precise material flow characteristics is crucial for producing a high-quality stamped part. Process control can be used to adjust the binder force based on tracking of a reference punch force trajectory to improve part quality and consistency. The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic ...

In this study, ultra-lightweight and high strength Engineered Cementitious Composites (ULHS-ECCs) are developed via lightweight filler incorporation matrix composition tailoring. The mechanical, physical, micromechanical properties of the resulting ULHS-ECCs investigated discussed. with a density below 1300 kg/m3, compressive beyond 60 MPa, tensile strain capacity above 1%, thermal conductivity...

Due to the growing concern for renewable and biodegradable thermal insulation materials motivated by pending energy crisis, global warming environmental impact of waste product after their useful life, many researchers have worked on physical properties various insulators without giving much consideration mechanical properties. Therefore, this paper proposes investigate developed Camel’s food (...

The properties of a new synthetic LDL binding material, consisting of fragments of loosely crosslinked hydrogel, based on sulfated polyvinylalcohol are described. When incubated with 20 times its volume of plasma, this material binds up to 95% of the LDL, even from plasma with severely elevated LDL cholesterol levels (up to 20 mM). In addition a cholesterol-rich subfraction of VLDL is bound but...

Slag, alkaline activator solution and straw fibers were used to manufacture geopolymer-based natural plant fiber composites. In this study, three influences of water glass modulus, content water-binder ratio on bending strength studied by orthogonal experiment single factor analysis. The results indicate that the order factors affecting is: > modulus. When is 0.4, 12%, modulus 1.9, composite...

On diethylaminoethyl-cellulose column chromatography, the folate binding protein in the serum of 21 patients eluted in the early effluents as a single sharply defined peak. The chromatographic behavior of the folate binder remained unchanged whether or not the serum was, before chromatography, complexed with tritium-labeled pteroylglutamic acid ([3H]PGA), dialyzed, or charcoal-adsorbed. Heating...

The effect of replacing hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) by octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7tetrazocine (HMX) in HTPB-binder on the performance, sensitivity, thermal, and mechanical properties of the sheet explosive formulation has been studied. The maximum loading of HMX was achieved up to 78 per cent in HTPB-binder system. The velocity of detonation (VOD) of HMX-based sheet e...
