One of the most popular forming processes is the shape rolling process in which the desired shape change is achieved by pressing two rollers with a special shape in the opposite rotational direction. In order to improve the product’s quality and reduce production costs, accurate analysis of the shape rolling process of the compressor blades as well as the investigation of the effective paramete...

A rigid-plastic Cosserat model has been used to study dense, fully developed flow of granular materials through a vertical channel. Frictional models based on the classical continuum do not predict the occurrence of shear layers, at variance with experimental observations. This feature has been attributed to the absence of a material length scale in their constitutive equations. The present mod...

We demonstrate a method to manage the locked multichannel output from a mode-locked Cr:forsterite laser cavity, which was achieved by inserting a Fabry–Perot etalon into the oscillator. It is found that the thickness of the etalon determines the channel spacing and its surface reflectivity affects channel linewidth and channel pulsewidth. Following Fabry–Perot theory, we can use these facts to ...

In this paper, a novel analytical method was developed based on statistical energy analysis framework to evaluate sound transmission loss through ventilated windows. The proposed method was compared to numerical and analytical models available in the literature. Results showed the success and advantage of the proposed model in predicting the acoustic performance of the ventilated window and the...

We report extensive experimental results of the negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) reliability of SiGe channel pMOSFETs as a function of the main gate-stack parameters. The results clearly show that this high-mobility channel technology offers significantly improved NBTI robustness compared with Si-channel devices, which can solve the reliability issue for sub-1-nm equivalent-oxide-th...

The stainless steel bipolar plate has received much attention due to the cost of graphite bipolar plates. Since the micro-channel of bipolar plates plays the role of fuel flow field, electric connector and fuel sealing, an investigation of the deep drawing process for stainless steel micro-channel arrays is reported in this work. The updated Lagrangian formulation, degenerated shell finite elem...

We study the motion of large bubbles in curved channels both semi-analytically using the lubrication approximation and computationally using a finite-volume/fronttracking method. The steady film thickness is governed by the classical Landau– Levich–Derjaguin–Bretherton (LLDB) equation in the low-capillary-number limit but with the boundary conditions modified to account for the channel curvatur...

An application of fuli Monte Carlo modeling to quarter-micron Si MOSFETs is given Nonstationary carrier transport is shown to dominate in 0.4 pm or less channel devices, with peak velocities exceeding I X lo7 cm/sec. The calculated results agree well with experimental values for a device with 0.15 pm channel length and 2.5 nm gate oxide thickness.

UNLABELLED Despite recent interest in organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), sparked by their straightforward fabrication and high performance, the fundamental mechanism behind their operation remains largely unexplored. OECTs use an electrolyte in direct contact with a polymer channel as part of their device structure. Hence, they offer facile integration with biological milieux and are ...
