a plain strain analysis of frictional rolling contact on an elastic graded coating is presented in this paper. finite element method is applied to gain an understanding of the stresses and contact zone properties caused during rolling contact. the effects of friction, material stiffness ratio and coating thickness on stresses in contact zone and coating/substrate interface are studied. shear mo...

nowadays, different methods are used to solve optimization problems which ,one of the newest is bco method that are inspired by the nature and derived from the social life of bees of these methods can be noted that bco is derived from the social life of bees. we use in this paper fuzzy logic for bee‟s decision stage. at the end, we solve two different problem that have already been solved by es...

there are many parameters that affect the sheet hydroforming process such as fluid pressure, material properties, interfacial friction between blank and tool surfaces, etc. in this paper, a fem-based taguchi method is used to determine the effects of forming parameters on the quality of part formability in the process of hydrodynamic deep drawing assisted by radial pressure. four important form...

needle insertion is a minimally invasive technique in diagnosing and treating tumors. however, to perform a surgery accurately, the tissue should have minimum amount of displacement during needle insertion so that it reaches the target tissue. therefore, the tissue membrane has to move less to decrease rupturing under the membrane. in this study, the effect of different design parameters on dis...

longevity of osseointegrated implants are intensely influenced by biomechanical factors. control of these factors prevents mechanical complications, which include fracture of screws, components, or materials veneering the framework. in this study, the impact of length and threads pitch of dental implants on the stress distribution and maximum von mises stress in implant-abutment complex and jaw...

statement of problem: currently there are three recognized theories about the diameter of prepared dowel space in endodontically treated teeth. diameter of the dowel is commonly contributed to the root fracture. purpose: this study used a 3 dimensional (3d) finite element method to predict stress distribution in endodontically treated central maxillary tooth with cast post and core with various...

electromagnetic forming is a high energy rate forming process. in this process, an electromagnetic lorentz body force is used for deformation of products. in this article, electromagnetic forming process was simulated for assembly of parts as an innovative method. in this research work, the effect of important parameters of process such as discharge energy, radius and width of rectangular groov...

a two-dimensional single particle finite element model was used to examine the effects of particle fragmental pattern on the average molecular weights, polymerization rate and particle overheating in heterogeneous ziegler-natta olefin polymerization. a two-site catalyst kinetic mechanism was employed together with a dynamic two-dimensional molecular species in diffusion-reaction equation. the i...

this research work is devoted to experimental and theoretical evaluations of a hybrid constitutive model which was designed to simulate the mechanical behavior of a tread rubber compound. the model is a combination of yeoh hyperelastic model with a strain-rate hysteresis model developed by bergstrom and boyce. the parameters of the yeoh model were calibrated from experimental data of the astm d...
