Fiber/Fiber Interaction in Face to Face Fiber Models of Short Fiber Composite Alloys

Analyzing Gaze During Face-to-Face Interaction

We present here the analysis of multimodal data gathered during realistic face-to-face interaction of a target speaker with a number of interlocutors. Videos and gaze have been monitored with an experimental setup using coupled cameras and screens with integrated eye trackers. With the aim to understand the functions of gaze in social interaction and to develop a coherent gaze control model for...

Effect of Face to Face Nutrition Counseling on Metabolic Syndrome Parameters in Cigarette Quitters

Objective: Although smoking increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, its quitting leads to weight gain due to increased appetite. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of face to face dietary counseling on metabolic syndrome (MetS) indices in cigarette quitter. Materials and Methods: This 9-week parallel randomized clinical trial was conducted by participation of 50 patients...

Fiber Bundle Models for Composite Materials

In this paper we will outline the advantages of using fiber bundles in modeling disordered materials. We will present the main aspects of classical fiber bundle models (FBMs) and highlight their ability to capture some essential aspects of composite materials. We then present some extensions of the classical FBM, modifying the way of interaction of fibers, failure law, deformation state and con...

Cutting Forces and Tool Wear Investigation for Face Milling of Bimetallic Composite Parts Made of Aluminum and Cast Iron Alloys

Bimetallic parts are used in many industries for weight and cost reduction of workpieces working under high loads and wear. One application for this type of composite material is in automotive industry. In this work the tool wear and cutting forces in the face milling of bimetallic parts made of aluminum and cast iron were investigated. A356 and GG25 alloys that are common materials for bimetal...
