Tube hydroforming (THF) process is used to produce the complex components from the initial cylindrical tubes. In this paper, T- shape component was formed using a tube hydroforming machine and the residual stresses of hydroformed tube was determined by hole drilling method. Subsequently, the thickness distribution and residual stresses of final tube were investigated using experimental and fini...

This work proposes new interface conditions between the layers of a three-dimensional composite structure in framework coupled thermoelasticity. More precisely, mechanical behavior two linear isotropic thermoelastic solids, bonded together by thin layer, constituted material, is studied means an asymptotic analysis. After defining small parameter ε, which tends to zero, associated with thicknes...

In this work, a numerical model for the simulation of two-phase electrohydrodynamic (EHD) problems is proposed. It characterized by physically consistent treatment surface tension as well jump in electric material properties. The formulation based on finite element method enriched with special shape functions, capable accurate capturing discontinuities both fluid pressure and gradient potential...

Sheet metal forming is simulated by finite element methods using a stress resultant constitutive law in this paper. A Lagrangian description of axisymmetric and plane-strain shell deformation is first reviewed. Then a stress resultant constitutive law in rate form is presented, where the effect of thickness reduction due to large plastic deformation is considered. A finite element formulation i...

One of the most natural approaches to the study of regular semigroups is to impose restrictions on the partial ordering of their idempotents (erg/^e/—jfe==e). The principal object of this note is to describe the structure of the classes of regular semigroups whose idempotents form a tree or a unitary tree, respectively (see Definition 1). We determine, among other things, a complete set of inva...

three dimensioned finite element analysis were conducted on concrete block paving. in order to verify the calculated results, an experimental case study was analyzed. good agreement was observed between the measured and the calculated results. based on the finite element analysis results and available failure models, comprehensive design charts were developed for port and industrial pavement wh...

Metal spinning as a kind of manufacturing process has capability to shape hollow components. In present work shear spinning process is used to formplates into conical shapes. Moreover, the aim of this research is to demonstrate the impact of the process parameters (i.e. feeding rate and spindle speed) on wall thickness. This approachwas done by experimental and finite elements method. The resul...

To investigate the independent effect of myocardial wall thickness and myocardial perfusion pressure on integrated backscatter, experiments were designed in which integrated backscatter of normally perfused myocardial tissue was measured while changes in wall thickness during the cardiac cycle were reduced to a minimum. In nine blood-perfused isolated pig hearts, perfusion pressure was uncouple...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Specific leaf area (SLA) is a critical component of the leaf economics spectrum, and many functional leaf traits have been empirically demonstrated to covary with SLA. However, a complete understanding of how change in leaf size influences SLA has not yet emerged. • METHODS To help develop a more complete understanding of the determinants of variability in S...
