in this paper, based on the slab method of analysis, a novel and general approach isdeveloped for studying the radial forging process with curved profile dies. the presented approachis not only more general with respect to previous studies, but it is also easier to understand and useand can be efficiently used for optimization of the die profile depending on the forging geometryand conditions. ...

a mathematical method for calculation of the minimum cross-sectional area of a thickener is presented by obtaining minimum laboratory batch settling test data, a function, which is called settling function, is derived. this function is found to be in the form of a polynomial of third order. the settling function and mass flux relation are used for the design of thickener. the method predicts th...

a brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. the variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. however, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

shape error due to elastic recovery of formed part in unloading known as springback, is one of the most important problems of tool design in sheet metal forming processes. many researches have been performed for proposing an efficient method to decrease or compensate springback error in sheet forming processes. these methods are usually based on iterative finite element algorithms. in this pape...

isoniazid (inh) was studied with regard to its electrochemical treatment on a strongly alkaline solution of a poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-modified gold electrode, using both cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential techniques. this composite electrode exhibited 4-fold higher oxidation of inh, in accordance with peak densities, than the bare gold electrode. it was used the central compo...
