In this work dynamic recrystallization behavior of AISI 403 martensitic stainless steel was studied using hot compression tests over temperature range of 900 C -1200 C and strain rate range of 0.001 s-1 - 1 s-1. The obtained flow curves showed that the hot compression behavior of the alloy is controlled by dynamic recrystallization. The flow stress and strain corresponding to the critical, pe...

Dynamic testing of statically predeformed specimens of magnesium (AM50) shows that the failure strain increases with the level of prestrain. Interrupted and other dynamic tests show that the temperature rise prior to localization has only a minor influence on adiabatic shear band (ASB) formation. For all the tests, the dynamic deformation energy until ASB formation is found to be relatively con...

A ventilation simulator is implemented in android mobile devices to simulate the mechanics of the human lung. The simulation results shall be displayed by a dynamic plot to illustrate the trend of the ventilation parameters in real-time. The chosen software library to perform the plots is AndrodPlot [1]. The library provides basic features and tutorials for dynamic plotting. Tests were performe...

In this paper, we study a supply chain scheduling problem that simultaneously considers production scheduling and product delivery.  jobs have to be scheduled on a single machine and delivered to  customers for further processing in batches. The objective is to minimize the sum of the total weighted number of tardy jobs and the delivery costs. In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm (HA...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Dynamic balance involving movement of the centre of gravity is important for the evaluation of street fitness after sedation. The purpose of this study was to compare the recovery of dynamic balance after intravenous sedation with propofol or midazolam, and to investigate the usefulness of simple dynamic balance tests in evaluating the recovery. METHODS Fourteen young...

Introduction: Evaluation of persistent vertigo in post infarct patients is very important as the management depends on whether the cause is purely of central origin or due to associated vestibular affliction.   Case Report: A patient with left sided dorsolateral medullary syndrome and persistent vestibular symptoms was evaluated. Vestibular test battery showed abnormal smooth pursuit, bilateral...

in this study a series of ambient vibration tests on the triple ferrocement elevated water tanks with 150 cubic meters volume, is carried out. in order to verify the dynamic characteristics of full, half-full and one full tanks (mass eccentric system), the different arrangements of sensors are used. the effects of base rotation are also considered in the tests. natural frequencies and mode shap...
