The aim of this work is to present the methodological process design a device capable performing Bulge tests. This kind allows obtaining more information about plastic behavior material than one provided by traditional tensile test. engineering specifications were evaluated through QFD methodology. Then, basic was performed based on available analytical models such as thick-walled pressure vess...

We investigate bulge and disk scaling relations using a volume-corrected sample of earlyto intermediate-type disk galaxies in which, importantly, the biasing flux from additional nuclear components on the inner bulge light-profile has been modeled and removed. Structural parameters are obtained from a seeing-convolved, bulge+disk+nuclear-component decomposition applied to NIR surface brightness...

Numerical simulations of sheet metal forming processes need the establishment of highly reliable results, which in turn need the accurate identification of mechanical properties. In this paper a study is presented on the choice of the characterization function of flow stress-strain curve of sheet metal materials, as well as the selection of the best yield locus, based on experimental uniaxial t...

We present recent results from a Keck study of the composition of the Galactic bulge, as well as results from the bulge Bulge Radial Velocity Assay (BRAVA). Culminating a 10 year investigation, Fulbright, McWilliam, & Rich (2006, 2007) solved the problem of deriving the iron abundance in the Galactic bulge, and find enhanced alpha element abundances, consistent with the earlier work of McWillia...

The hydraulic bulge test (HBT) method is proposed to determine material tensile strengths. The basic idea of HBT is similar to the small punch test (SPT), but inspired by the manufacturing process of rupture discs-high-pressure hydraulic oil is used instead of punch to cause specimen deformation. Compared with SPT method, the HBT method can avoid some of influence factors, such as punch dimensi...
