In this paper, torsion extrusion (TE) process on 1050 aluminum alloy was investigated by simulation as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) method and the effects of friction coefficient, angular velocity of the rotating die and punch speed on maximum punch force were studied. A finite element (FE) model was developed to simulate the TE process via DEFORM software. The FE results were validated co...

The effect of a cationic-neutral diblock polypeptide on the conformation of single DNA molecules confined in rectangular nanochannels is investigated with fluorescence microscopy. An enhanced stretch along the channel is observed with increased binding of the cationic block of the polypeptide to DNA. A maximum stretch of 85% of the contour length can be achieved inside a channel with a cross-se...

In this study we tried to consider effect of vertical component of  near zone earthquake (10 to 15 km far from fault) such as Kobe 1995, Northridge 1994, Loma prieta 1989 and Chichi 1999 on a concrete cable bridge by a 320m span in the middle which was built on different type of soils. The SAP software (version14) was selected because I should have done linear and non-linear time history anal...

In this paper the process of laser forming has been investigated using an analytical and an experimental method for three levels scans velocity. A coupled analysis has been performed in ANSYS®. Also in order to prove the predictive methods, experiments on thin sheet metals have been done when a laser of a fair power was used. Before done, experiments were designed with full factorial chosen as ...

In order to investigate the force characteristics of occlusal pile, this paper takes underground garage support project Nanchang Bayi Square as research background and studies bending moment pile after excavation process foundation pit through model test. The test results show that increases then decreases with increase soil depth under horizontal load, reaches maximum near surface pit; can pro...

Abstract In this paper, we report on mechanical properties observed during bending experiments conducted quinary Ni–Mn–Ga–Co–Cu melt-spun ribbons. Depending the ribbon’s side to which force is applied, different response noted. Substantially larger instabilities are when applied “free side” than “wheel of When latter, much lower fluctuations recorded and amplitude force–displacement remains wit...

laser forming is a modern process which is mainly used for forming metals. different lasers are used in this regard that includes nd: yag and co2. in this study, forming bi-layer sheets of aluminum/ceramic by laser was investigated. furthermore, effect of uniform and gaussian heat flux distribution in different power, velocity, and beam diameters on bending angle was studied. fem simulation ind...

The mechanical response generated by binding of the nonspecific DNA-bending proteins HMGB1, NHP6A, and HU to single tethered 48.5 kb lambda-DNA molecules is investigated using DNA micromanipulation. As protein concentration is increased, the force needed to extend the DNA molecule increases, due to its compaction by protein-generated bending. Most significantly, we find that for each of HMGB1, ...

In scanning tunneling experiments on semiconductor surfaces, the energy scale within the tunneling junction is usually unknown due to tip-induced band bending. Here, we experimentally recover the zero point of the energy scale by combining scanning tunneling microscopy with Kelvin probe force spectroscopy. With this technique, we revisit shallow acceptors buried in GaAs. Enhanced acceptor-relat...

In this paper at first introduced constituent equations for piezoelectric and then by the help of this equations, internal energy of hinged-hinged piezoelectric multilayer beam was computed. Then by the principle of minimum potential energy and Rayleigh -Ritz method the bending curvature equation of hinged-hinged piezoelectric multilayer beam under concentrated moment, concentrated force, unifo...
