A crystallographic homogenization procedure is introduced to the conventional static-explicit and dynamic-explicit finite element formulation to develop a multi scale – double scale – analysis code to predict the plastic strain induced texture evolution, yield loci and formability of sheet metal. The double-scale structure consists of a crystal aggregation – micro-structure and a macroscopic el...

In the helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS), the captain flies without using visual assistance to keep some distance between the helicopter and clouds or obstacles. Under the present conditions, the communication specialist (CS) and the captain of HEMS contact each other and select the safest flight path. With the increase in future requests, conducting safe and effective navigation is a...

Introduction Perforated sheets are used in a number of industrial applications e.g. the shadow masks in colour monitor and television tubes. Their design requires the characterization of the deformation behaviour of a perforated sheet containing a large number of tiny holes. In practice, the holes are varying through the sheet thickness, however, in modelling this inhomogeneity is mostly ignore...

The toughness and coefficient of thermal expansion of a series of functionalized graphene sheet epoxy nanocomposites are investigated. Functionalized graphene sheets are produced by splitting graphite oxide into single graphene sheets through a rapid thermal expansion process. These graphene sheets contain ~ 10% oxygen due to the presence of hydroxide, epoxide, and carboxyl functional groups wh...

In the course of counter-insurgency campaigns, military forces expend considerable resources and time conducting cordon and search operations in an effort to interdict and suppress criminal groups. However, these operations have a low success rate, with most operations yielding little intelligence or marginal tactical gains while simultaneously angering the local populace. This paper demonstrat...

T paper presents the authors’ rejoinder to Zeithammer and Adams [Zeithammer, R., C. Adams. 2010. The sealed-bid abstraction in online auctions. Marketing Sci. 29(6) 964–987]. This rejoinder clarifies and qualifies conclusions of the original paper and makes suggestions for fruitful areas of future research. In particular, the original paper shows that bidding style can make a big difference in ...

The potential benefits of collaboration technologies are typically realized only in groups led by collaboration experts. This raises the facilitator-in-the-box challenge: Can collaboration expertise be packaged with collaboration technology in a form that nonexperts can reuse with no training on either tools or techniques? We address that challenge with process support applications (PSAs). We d...
