forming limit diagram (fld) is an important diagram by which the formability of sheet metals is studied. strain rate is a very effective parameter influencing the fld which is, in turn, influenced by the forming velocity. in this work, forming limit diagram for st14 was investigated both experimentally and numerically. in addition, the effect of forming velocity was studied and the experiments ...

constructing phase diagram and its subsequent quality lines for lean gas condensate reservoirs is always crucial and challenging topic in reservoir fluid studies. due to small amounts of liquid drop-outs in lean gas condensates at reservoir conditions, full experimental tracking of phase diagram and its relevant quality lines is almost impossible for lean gas condensates.on the other hand, eos ...

Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) is a data structure proved to be compact in representation and efficient in manipulation of Boolean formulas. Using Binary decision diagram in network reliability analysis has already been investigated by some researchers. In this paper we show how an exact algorithm for network reliability can be improved and implemented efficiently by using CUDD - Colorado Univer...

Railway operations are organized according to a complex interplay of resources and rigid time separation train runs over infrastructure elements. The system dynamics complex, span in space. We use this work the concepts macroscopic fundamental diagrams, or more general analysis density-flow-speed diagram, analyse describe realized railway operations. Specifically, we review state art aggregated...

In this paper, static and dynamic behavior of a varactor of a micro-phase shifter under DC, step DC and AC voltages and effects of the residual stress on the phase diagram have been studied. By presenting a mathematical modeling, Galerkin-based step by step linearization method (SSLM) and Galerkin-based reduced order model have been used to solve the governing static and dynamic equations, resp...

For metals it is widely accepted that the stress-strain diagram is symmetric with regard to tension and compression when plotted in terms of true rather than nominal quantities. Kinematic considerations state that the engineering definition of nominal strain exhibits fundamental deficiencies under rigid body rotations and deformations which are not truly infinitesimal. For these two reasons the...
