To quantify the influence of temperature uncertainty on thermal fatigue life prediction a shot sleeve in an injection mechanism, analysis method based Kriging surrogate model and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) was proposed. The training samples were obtained by finite element simulation, response relationships between input variables, such as pouring preheating temperature, target strain stress, ...

Tighter immigration laws are leaving health organisations struggling for staff, particularly to care for older people, the RCN claims.

Putting a competitive squeeze on a cooperative group has long been considered to encourage cheats. Now we learn that competition, by driving diversification among cooperators, can create groups that are both more productive and more resistant to defection.

In this paper the problem on “Magnetic fluid lubrication of porous-pivoted slider bearing with slip velocity by N Ahmad et.al.[7]” has been recapitulated using Jenkin’s model [4] with the additional effect of squeeze velocity of the above plate. It is found that while discussing the above problem, [7] has stated but ignored the term , where +, in their study (Refer equation(2.2)). This paper re...

The effect of the vanadium addition on the microstructure, the precipitation behavior, and the mechanical properties of the Al-5.0Cu-0.4Mn alloy has been studied. The as-cast Al-5.0Cu-0.4Mn alloy was produced by squeeze casting and the heat treatment was carried out following the standard T6 treatment. It is shown that, with the addition of V, grain refinement of aluminum occurred. During heat ...
