Electromagnetic forming is a high energy rate forming process. In this process, an electromagnetic Lorentz body force is used for deformation of products. In this article, Electromagnetic forming process was simulated for assembly of parts as an innovative method. In this research work, the effect of important parameters of process such as discharge energy, radius and width of rectangular groov...

Epoxy and dicyclopentadien (DCPD) are two common healing agents, which are introduced into epoxy matrix through encapsulation in order to prepare self-healing composites. In a comparative study, the compatibility of healing agents and epoxy matrix is investigated through experimental tests and DFT calculations. The interaction energy is considered to be the determinative parameter in DFT calcul...

in this study, the effect of temperature on the diffusion welding of az31 magnesium alloy and 7075 aluminum was discussed. diffusion welding temperature was the most important parameter since all mechanisms are sensitive to temperature in diffusion welding method. intrusive contacts between the two alloys at temperatures of 430, and 440 °c 450 and took 60 min. in all tests constant pressure and...

A steady-state wedge-opening test has been developed in order to measure the work of separation of bonded silicon wafers. Non-steady-state and steady-state measurements are compared. Significant influence of i) the surface treatment, ii) the annealing time and temperature and iii) the crack velocity on the toughness is observed and related to the interface chemistry. A methodology based on the ...
