In this article, the 3 point bending analysis of a mobile phone using LS-DYNA explicit integration method is discussed. Since there are a large number of contact pairs defined in the FEA model, and the FEA model is very large in a 3 point bending analysis of a phone, it is much more convenient to use the explicit method than the implicit method. However, using explicit procedure to a quasi-stat...

Tailor-made blanks are sheet metal assemblies with different thicknesses and/or materials and/or surface coatings. A monolithic sheet can be machined to make the required thickness variations that is referred as tailor machined blanks. Due to the thickness variation in tailor machined blanks, laser bending of these blanks is more complicated than monolithic plates. In this article, laser formin...

in this study, the microstructure and properties of foam glass obtained as a result of the interaction of the waste glass with sic as the foaming agent and fe2o3 as the oxidizing agent have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (sem), as well as three-point bending and pycnometery tests. first, the temperature and optimized amount of sic for making foam glass was determined. the ...
