determination of critical points on hot stress-strain curve of metals is crucial in thermo-mechanical processes design. in this investigation a mathematical modeling is given to illustrate the behavior of metal during hot deformation processes such as hot rolling. the critical strain for the onset of dynamic recrystallization has been obtained as a function of strain at the maximum stress. in a...

nowadays acoustic emission (ae) testing based on the kaiser effect (ke) is increasingly used to estimate the in-situ stress in laboratories. in this work, this effect is assessed on cylindrical specimens in numerical simulations of the cyclic loadings including loading, unloading, and re-loading cycles using a 3d code called the particle flow code (pfc) based upon the distinct element method. t...

background: systolic blood pressure (sbp) and diastolic blood pressure (dbp) are a multi-factorial traits and significantly heritable.glutathione s-transferase (gst) enzyme is involved in detoxification of reactive oxygen species. the present study aimed at finding out the association between gstm1 and gstt1 polymorphisms and mean arterial pressure (map) in iranian population. map, as the impor...

zinc coating is formed by the heterogeneous assembly of the γ, γ1, δ, ζ and η phases whose mechanicalproperties greatly differ from each other. thermal strains resulting from large differences betweenthermal expansion coefficients are partially relaxed by the formation of a crack network. in order tomodel this phenomenon, initial hardness, thermal expansion coefficient αi and toughness (kic) of...

in this paper, the capabilities of modeling linear viscoelasticty in a finite element method software package (comsol multiphysics) have been investigated. the governing equations of linear viscoelasticity have been developed for 2d cases of plane stress and plane strain. these equations have been verified by solving a related engineering example. since the developed equations are suitable for ...

background: the salvage proximal femoral osteotomy is performed in mild or moderate osteoarthritis when the articulating surfaces are normal and relieves the subject’s pain. because the importance of angular mal-alignment of the femur bone at the hip junction accurate pre-op planning based on patient specific anatomy is required to prevent any lower limb misalignment and joint problem pre-opera...

Human stress is a physiological tension that appears when a person responds to mental, emotional, or physical chal-lenges. Detecting human stress and developing methods to manage it, has become an important issue nowadays. Au-tomatic stress detection through physiological signals may be a useful method for solving this problem. In most of the earlier studies, long-term time window was considere...
