Unlike existing uniform thickness structures, tailor rolled blank (TRB) which allows continuous metal thickness charges has been recently gaining comprehensive attention due to its excellent lightweight potential. The aim of this study is to combine the advantages of the TRB manufacturing technology with the structural optimization methodology to design the front longitudinal beam under impact ...

Lighter and lighter products are required by aerospace automotive sectors in order to reduce fuel cost carbon dioxide emissions and, allow using green energy propulsion, such as the electric one. In lighten parts aluminium alloys, which have a high strength weight ratio, most commonly used metal materials. They manufactured through plastic deformation processes often tailored blanks. This work ...

In this paper, we provide new yield-aware mask strategies to mitigate emerging variability and defectivity challenges. To address variability, we analyze CD variability with respect to reticle size, and its impact on parametric yield. With a cost model that incorporates mask, wafer, and processing cost considering throughput, yield, and manufacturing volume, we assess various reticle strategies...

For evaluation of citric acid and citrate effects on bovine epididymal protoplasmic droplets, fifty bovine testes were collected in the October 2007 till June 2008 from Urmia slaughterhouse and transported to the laboratory in a cool container filled with 5 °C ice pack. Caudal epididymis was incised and sperm cells were put into Petri dishes containing hams f10 media with 10% fetal calf serum (...

the taguchi method was applied as an experimental design to determine optimum conditions for colour removal from azo dyes solutions containing remazol yellow g by electrocoagulation (ec) using iron and steel electrodes as anode and cathode, respectively. an orthogonal array (oa9) experimental design that allows to investigation the simultaneous variations of four parameters (initial remazol ye...

Some prey can distinguish between chemical cues from predators fed different diets. Here we document the first evidence of diet-based chemical discrimination of predators in a terrestrial arthropod and measure the survival value of behavioural responses to predator chemical cues. We tested activity level and avoidance behaviour of the wolf spider, Pardosa milvina, to faeces and silk associated ...

abstract: mayonnaise is probably one of the most widely used sauces worldwide. the oil content of traditionally mayonnaise is more than 65%. fat has a role in creating viscosity, color and texture but might cause many diseases and disorders in human. in this study the influence of modified wheat bran as a fat replacer on the rheological properties of low fat mayonnaise was studied and compared ...

The assessment of listening abilities is one of the least understood, least developed and, yet, one of the most important areas of language testing and assessment. It is particularly important because of its potential wash-back effects on classroom practices. Given the fact that listening tests play a great role in assessing the language proficiency of students, they are expected to enjoy a hig...

The isogeometric methodology has been successfully implemented in one-step inverse analysis of sheet metal stamping processes. However, these models are not capable analyzing forming processes that require severe deformation and several stages. This paper presents a multi-step to enhance the precision predictions initial blank, strain distributions, drawability formed parts. deals with minimiza...
