Tectonic features on the satellites of the outer planets range from the familiar, such as clearly recognizable graben on many satellites, to the bizarre, such as the ubiquitous double ridges on Europa, the twisting sets of ridges on Triton, or the isolated giant mountains rising from Io’s surface. All of the large and middle-sized outer planet satellites except Io are dominated by water ice nea...

The hot compression tests were carried on X45CrNiW189 valve steel (X45) in the temperature range of 1000– 1200 °C and the strain rate range of 0.004 – 0.5 s-1 in order to study the high temperature softening behavior of this steel. For the exact prediction of flow stress, the effective stress-effective strain curves were obtained from experiments under various conditions. On the basis of experi...

severe plastic deformation (spd) methods were developed for producing of metals and alloys with ultrafine grained (ufg) microstructures having high strength. parallel tabular channel angular pressing (ptcap) as a noble severe plastic deformation (spd) method was used to produce ultrafine grained (ufg) and nanostructured cu-30%zn tubes. in this paper, the effect of ptcap process temperature on t...

そこで本研究では、FFD の格子を自動生成し、オリジ ナルの FFD の柔軟性を保ちつつ、ユーザによる 3 次元 モデルの変形を支援する手法を提案する。我々の手法 は、まずモデルのバウンディングボックスを生成し、 それを初期格子とする。その初期格子から階層的に新 たな格子を生成することで、多重解像度格子という格 子集合を作り出し、ユーザがその中から目的に沿った 適切な格子、すなわち大域的な変形のための少数の制 御点を持つ格子や、局所的な変形のための変形対象領 域の形状をよく近似する格子を選択できるようにする。 さらに、変形前の格子だけでなく、ユーザによって変 形された格子から新たな格子の生成を行うことで、階 層的変形を行うことができる。階層的変形を用いるこ とで、格子をバウンディングボックスから再定義する ことなく、大域的な変形から局所的な変形、またはそ の逆といったようにモデルを階...

[1] A suite of sinuous ridges with branching and braided morphologies forms an anastomosing network in southern Argyre Planitia, Mars. Several modes of origin have been proposed for the Argyre ridges. Imagery from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) and Context Camera (CTX) aboard Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) topographic data sets...

INTRODUCTION Bone fracture is a major concern for elderly because the toughness of aged bone becomes more susceptible to impact load.(6) It has been well documented that the post-yield behavior of bone determines the major part of the toughness of bone.(3,4) As a natural composite material, bone primarily comprises a hard mineral phase (mainly hydroxyapatite crystals) and a more compliant colla...

The results from experimental research of deformation by upsetting and die forging of lead specimens wit controlled impact are presented. Laboratory setup for conducting the investigations, which uses cold rocket engine operated with compressed air, is described. The results show that when using controlled impact is achieving greater plastic deformation and consumes less impact energy than at o...

Chirps are signals (or sums of signals) that may be characterized by a local (i.e. time-dependent) amplitude and a local frequency. Time-frequency representations such as wavelet representations are well adapted to the characterization problem of such chirps. Ridges in the modulus of the transform determine regions in the transform domain with a high concentration of energy, and are regarded as...
