چکیده
Methods A Finite Element Method (FEM) model is used to simulate industrial forming processes such as bending and deepdrawing. The model consists of multiple polymer and metal layers. The simulations are performed using the FEM programMARC, which is coupled to an external program. The coupling is required for the meshing of the model and other features. Results Bending and deep-draw simulations have been performed with steel and multiple polymer layers, as shown in figure 4:

Improving Photobioreactor wall Using Optical Brightener: Investigating the Photostability of Coated Layer and Algal Growth
In this work, photostability, absorption and emission intensity of coated polycarbonate (PC) sheets with optical brightener (OB) as a wavelength converter material have been investigated. In addition, this coated sheet was used as a wall for microalgae culture flask, as a small scale photobioreactor, for studying the spectral conversion of UV-A radiation to blue light region and its effect ...
متن کاملComparison of deflection forces of esthetic archwires combined with ceramic brackets*
Coated archwires and ceramic brackets have been developed to improve facial esthetics during orthodontic treatment. However, their mechanical behavior has been shown to be different from metallic archwires and brackets. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the deflection forces in coated nickel-titanium (NiTi) and esthetic archwires combined with ceramic brackets. Material and Method...
متن کاملA lightweight polymer solar cell textile that functions when illuminated from either side.
An all-solid-state, lightweight, flexible, and wearable polymer solar cell (PSC) textile with reasonable photovoltaic performance has been developed. A metal textile electrode made from micrometer-sized metal wires is used as the cathode, and the surfaces of the metal wires are dip-coated with the photoactive layers. Two ultrathin, transparent, and aligned carbon nanotube sheets that exhibit re...
متن کاملPreparation and in-vitro Antibacterial Evaluation of Electroless Silver Coated Polymers
Long-term use of indwelling medical catheters has often been hindered by catheter-associated nosocomial infections. In this study the effectiveness of silver coating of polystyrene and polyethylene polymers was investigated. Polymer pieces of 2 cm2 each were coated with a thin layer of silver using electroless plating technique. Silver-coated polymers were challenged with cultures of four diffe...
