چکیده

We show that if a line ` is an isolated line transversal to a finite familyF of (possibly intersecting) balls in R and no two balls are externally tangent on ` then there is a subfamily G ⊆ F of size at most 12 such that ` is an isolated line transversal to G. We generalize this result to families of semi-algebraic ovaloids.

Pinning a Line by Balls or Ovaloids in R

We show that if a line ` is an isolated line transversal to a finite familyF of (possibly intersecting) balls inR and no two balls are externally tangent on ` then there is a subset G ⊆ F of size at most 12 such that ` is an isolated line transversal to G. We generalize this result to families of semi-algebraic ovaloids.

Lower Bounds for Pinning Lines by Balls

A line l is a transversal to a family F of convex objects in R if it intersects every member of F . In this paper we show that for every integer d ≥ 3 there exists a family of 2d− 1 pairwise disjoint unit balls in R with the property that every subfamily of size 2d − 2 admits a transversal, yet any line misses at least one member of the family. This answers a question of Danzer from 1957. Key-w...

Effects of the sintering temperature on the flux-pinning mechanism and the activation energy of malic-acid doped MgB2

  The flux-pinning mechanism and activation energy of 10 wt % malic acid-doped MgB2 were investigated by measuring of the critical current density and resistivity as a function of magnetic field and temperature. A crossover field, Bsb, was observed from the single vortex to the small vortex bundle pinning regime. For the sintered sample, the temperature dependence of Bsb(T) at low temperature i...

EVALUATION OF WEAR AND IMPACT PROPERTIES OF GRINDING BALLS USED IN SARCHESHMEH COPPER PLANT

Abstract: Ball mills are used in the last stage of ore processing for grinding raw materials. Forged 70Cr2 alloy steel and Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) balls are materials from which grinding balls are made for Sarcheshmeh Copper Plant (SCP) ball mills. In the present study wear and impact properties of these two kinds of balls have been investigated. Some balls randomly were selected as ...

Back-calculation of mechanical parameters of shell and balls materials from discrete element method simulations

Discrete Element Method (DEM) is extensively used for mathematical modeling and simulating the behavior of discrete discs and discrete spheres in two and three dimensional space, respectively. Prediction of particles flow regime, power draw and kinetic energy for a laboratory or an industrial mill is possible by DEM simulation. In this article, a new approach was used to assess the main paramet...
