In this paper, an experimental study concerning the effect of surface morphology on mechanical properties of adhesive bonding behaviour of continuous carbon fibres reinforced PEEK was performed. Surface morphology of PEEK composite was varied by sandblasting process. 3D morphological parameters were calculated from interferometry measurements. Surface wettability behaviour was studied by depose...

Recently, the application of aluminum based on ultra-high strength steel is expanding around high-end models electric vehicles, so it necessary to develop strategic welding/joining technologies for these materials. In case overseas advanced automobile companies, such development being carried out at level introducing mass production facilities through joining technology, but in Korea, localizat...

Abstract Background Tofacitinib is an oral, small molecule JAK inhibitor for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). RIVETING (NCT03281304) ongoing, double-blind, randomised, parallel-group study designed to evaluate efficacy and safety dose reduction tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily (BID) vs remaining on 10 BID in patients (pts) with UC stable remission maintenance therapy. Eligible pts had rece...

Abstract Modeling forms the basis for optimal control of complex technical processes in context industry 4.0 development and, hence, high product quality as well efficient production. For mechanical joining process self-pierce riveting with 11 input and 5 output variables, two modeling approaches based on (1) experimental data (2) FEM computer simulation are outlined performed. A physical appro...
