the micro wire electrical discharge machining (micro wire-edm) process is a modern machining process with various applications in manufacturing micro-parts. the recast layer remaining on the machined surfaces is an inevitable complication of this process. this layer can subsequently affect the machined parts performance. to optimize the recast layer in the micro wire-edm of the molybdenum micro...

Critical issues of gender justice are frequently analyzed in the American legal academy without meaningful attention to the insights of newer feminist theories. To some degree this is understandable, as newer feminisms have added substantially to the overall complexity of feminist scholarship and have employed a less accessible argumentative style than older feminist theories. Selective “tuning...

Despite the increasing popularity of error treatment as a research subject, the effect of age as a potential learner-internal factor affecting choice of feedback is largely undertreated. Characterized by being at early stages of self-empowerment, young language learners are considerably vulnerable and in need of particular language input to meet their age-appropriate psychological demands. This...

This paper concerns numerical simulations of time-dependent problems in computational solid mechanics. A perturbation method, with the time as parameter, is proposed to solve two classical problems: an elastic bar excited by end force and dynamic buckling a cylindrical panel. Specific quadratic recast equations nonlinear problems. Numerical results show that asymptotic expansions robust, effici...

This paper summarises the general strategy for time evolving finite elastoplasticity and outlines encountered computational challenges in form of numerical benchmarks. Each time-step of some natural implicit time-discretisation is eventually recast into a possibly non-convex minimisation problem. Finite plasticity seems to imply the lack of lower semicontinuity of the energy functional and so l...

A diagonally implicit method is shown to be an effective method for integrating the multicomponent species conservation equations. The constitutive equation for multicomponent diffusion is recast into a form analogous to that for binary diffusion, except that the diffusion coefficient is replaced with a matrix of effective multicomponent diffusion coefficients. The resulting matrix has properti...

Implicit surfaces are a powerful shape primitive for computer graphics. This thesis focuses on a shape modelling approach which generates synthetic shapes by the specification of an implicit surface generating function that has random properties. This type of graphic object can be called a stochastic implicit surface because the surface is perceived as the realisation of a stochastic process. T...

The design and analysis of a unified asymptotic preserving (AP) well-balanced scheme for the Euler Equations with gravitational frictional source terms is presented in this paper. behaviour system limit zero Mach Froude numbers, large friction characterised by an additional scaling parameter. Depending on values parameter, relaxes towards hyperbolic or parabolic equation. Standard Implicit–Expl...
