Physical properties of anisotropic superconductors like the critical temperature and others depend sensitively on the electron mean free path. The sensitivity to impurity scattering and the resulting anomalies are considered a characteristic feature of strongly anisotropic pairing. These anomalies are usually analyzed in terms of s-wave impurity scattering which leads to universal pair breaking...

Since tubes are widely used for different industrial applications, processing of tubes by the Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) method has been the target of different attempts. Among these attempts, development of SPD processes for tubes based on Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) has been more successful. As an illustration, Tube Channel Pressing (TCP) has been presented as an attractive SP...

The roles of the several parameters that influences railway track deterioration most, are examined in this research with a view to make railway track maintenance more effective and cost efficient. The results presented are based on a comprehensive study of railway track degradation on super structure, sub-structure and geometrical aspects. The changes in TQI (Track Quality Index), the track set...

To determine the geometry parameters of defects in multi-layered structures is one of the principal challenges in the research field of eddy current nondestructive testing. For buried defects the direct observation of the values of these geometry parameters is practically impossible. So it is necessary to estimate such values. Bayesian networks (BNs) have been proved to be a potentially useful ...

Contact resistance among the components of a polymer exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has a crucial effect on cell performance. The geometry of the endplate plays an essential role in the contact pressure distribution over the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) and the amount of contact resistance between plates. In this work, the effects of endplate geometry on the contact pressure distribut...

abstracthydroforming process is a deep stretching process only with the difference that a fluid is used instead of the mandrel. this paper investigates the hydroforming process of non-cylindrical and non-spherical geometries using finite element analysis software to calculate the influences of effective process parameters such as the coefficient of friction between the surfaces and the pressure...

Purpose: This study aims to examine the interaction between process parameters and bead geometry, to perform the research to predict optimal bead geometry (bead width, reinforcement height, left leg length, right leg length) through the analysis of experimental data. For this, not only linear and the curvilinear equations were developed to predict bead geometry, but also interactions between pr...

In this article, the optimized geometry, IR and UV spectra, frontier orbital analysis, natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses, and thermodynamic parameters of pomalidomide were investigated. The calculated structural parameters and stretching frequencies values are compared with experimentalvalues of the investigated compound. Also, the relations of the thermodynamic functions vs.temperatures were...

this paper was aimed to report the 3d finite element analysis simulation of laser welding process of ti6al4v 1.7 mm sheets in butt joint in order to predict the temperature distribution, hardness, and weld geometry. the butt-joint welds were made using co2 laser with the maximum power of 2.2 kw in the continuous wave mode. a part of the experimental work was carried out to verify the weld geome...
