In this paper, an upper bound approach is used to analyze the extrusion process of bimetallic rods through arbitrarily curved dies. Based on a spherical velocity field, internal, shearing and frictional power terms are calculated. The developed upper bound solution is used for calculating the extrusion force for two types of die shapes: a conical die as a linear die profile and a streamlined di...

Metal forming processes, compared with machining ones, reduce production steps and increase manufacturing speed in addition to saving raw material. In this paper, forming process of column of a steering mechanism is investigated by finite element analyses and experimental tests; and optimum die design parameters are found. Forming process parameters including die opening angle, bearing length, ...

In the design of a MAC-layer protocol for battery-powered wireless sensor networks, two powerful enhancements are asymmetry and asynchrony, both of which add flexibility. Asymmetry allows nodes to adapt their schedules to fit their roles, whether source, sink and/or forwarder. Asynchrony can grant nodes freedom to perform tasks when appropriate instead of waiting for an agreed upon time. These ...

In this research, optimization process of axisymmetric extrusion dies is proposed. Plastic zone is analyzed using finite element method in the Eulerian system with flow formulation. The die profiles are defined by Bezier curves with six control points. Two effective functions are considered in this research; standard deviation of the strain rate and the rate of energy consumption during extrusi...

ausser der traditionellen nutzung der geothermalen energie sind in jungster zeit neue erkenntnisse und projekte in ausarbeitung, die fur die zukunft ausserst wichtig sein konnen. bei einigen dieser projekte hat man bereits einige sehr positive ergebnisse erzielt. ausserdem wurde klar, das die ausgaben fur exploration,und expleitaion wirtscnaftlich ohneweiteres vsrtretbar sind,j•a sogar in hinbl...

Fullering process is a type of open die forging. In this research, elongation and maximum sideways spread in final shape of a billet after the first blow of a fullering process are predicted by designing a back propagation multilayer perceptron neural network. Several experiments are conducted using lead as the model material. Billets with three different square cross-sections are used in these...

Increasingly, large amounts of data are being stored in a distributed manner over wide area networks. Such large scale networks most often employ heterogeneous nodes, with heterogeneity taking the form of available battery power, bandwidth, computing power, and/or network up-times, among other things. As smartphones have become an ubiquitous element of every-day life, the potential for large sc...
