In sheet metal forming, free deformation of the takes place frequently without contact with forming tools. The pre-straining resulting from leads to a surface roughening metal. It is assumed that has an influence on friction and wear behavior following process as well painting quality after manufacturing. this paper, numerical prediction based polycrystalline model first proposed predict effect...

Exact solutions are derived for sound radiation from four kinds of infinitely-long strips: namely a rigid strip in a baffle of finite width, a resilient strip in free space, and a resilient or rigid strip in an infinite baffle. In one limit, the strip in a finite baffle becomes a rigid strip in free space and in the other, a line source in a finite baffle. Here "rigid" means that the surface ve...

A metamaterial composed of thin metallic strips as an efficient broadband absorber in the mid-infrared spectrum is investigated. Here matching between dielectric and geometrical properties individual elements critical to ensure high absorption. Detailed theoretical analysis based on electric dipole approximation performed characterize absorption scattering unit cell results are used design such...

In this paper we consider a two dimensional strip packing problem. The problem consists of packing a set of rectangular items in one strip of width W and infinite height. They must be packed without overlapping, parallel to the edge of the strip and we assume that the items are oriented, i.e. they cannot be rotated. To solve this problem, we use three exact methods: a branch and bound method, a...

In this paper we establish a general algorithmic framework between bin packing and strip packing, with which we achieve the same asymptotic bounds by applying bin packing algorithms to strip packing. More precisely we obtain the following results: (1) Any offline bin packing algorithm can be applied to strip packing maintaining the same asymptotic worst-case ratio. Thus using FFD (MFFD) as a su...

The growing significance of the material magnesium is closely associated with the progressive development in the field of automotive lightweight construction. The announcement of the VW AG of constructing an one-litre-automobile can be deemed to be a proof of the actuality of research and development in the field of magnesium alloy processing. That automobile, whose frame structure is widely ma...

The work is devoted to the problem of flexible small-scale production galvanized steel various sizes on a continuous hot-dip galvanizing unit with varying productivity. main focus heat treatment strip, requirements for which limit In conditions disturbances, it necessary proactively control using models, or reduce speed strip ensure that are met. Unlike most works control, this focuses cooling....

The sorting by strip exchanges (aka strip exchanging) problem is motivated by applications in optical character recognition and genome rearrangement analysis. While a couple of approximation algorithms have been designed for the problem, nothing has been known about its computational hardness till date. In this work, we show that the decision version of strip exchanging is NP-Complete. We prese...

Strong demand for power reduction in state-of-the-art semiconductor devices calls for novel devices and architectures. Since ternary logic architecture can perform the same function as binary logic architecture with a much lower device density and higher information density, a switch device suitable for the ternary logic has been pursued for several decades. However, a single device that satisf...

This is a communication on the removal of copper(II) ions from a residual mine water using an emulsified liquid membrane (ELM). The membrane was prepared by dissolving the extractant LIX-860 (a salicylaldoxime), used as a mobile carrier, and Span80, a surfactant, in kerosene. The ELM allowed an efficient metal transport from the feed solution towards the strip liquor, in experiments carried out...
