This paper presents a study the effect of nose radius (Rz-mm) on cutting force components and temperatures during the machining simulation in an orthogonal cutting process for titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). The cutting process was performed at various nose radiuses (Rz-mm) while the depth of cut (d-mm), feed rate (fmm/tooth) and cutting speed (vc-m/ min) were remained constant. The main cutting fo...

A cadaver model was used to test the hypothesis that glenohumeral joint stability is independent of articular surface conformity after total shoulder arthroplasty. For the purposes of this study joint stability was defined as the minimum force required for joint dislocation. After arthroplasty components were implanted into fresh-frozen glenohumeral joints, specimens were mounted on a load fram...

Abstract: In this paper, the forming process of a central hub by radial-forward extrusion is analyzed by using the finite element software, ABAQUS. Radial-forward extrusion is used to produce hollow parts that generally feature a central hub with radial protrusions. Effective design factors such as mandrel diameter, die corner radius, die fillet radius, mandrel corner radius, tube wall thick...

It is traced out a parallel between the cosmological constant problem and the polymer physics. The time evolution of the universe world line is compared with the growing of a polymer chain. An equivalent Flory free energy and a modification of it are used as a means to evaluate two versions for the “radius of gyration” of the universe. It is proposed a link between this radius of gyration and t...

Using the effective potential, we study the one-loop renormalization of a massive self-interacting scalar field at finite temperature in flat manifolds with one or more compactified spatial dimensions. We prove that, owing to the compactification and finite temperature, the renormalized physical parameters of the theory (mass and coupling constant) acquire thermal and topological contributions....

We propose, based on brane cosmology, an explicit relation R = MPlR 2 extra of the radius of the observed brane Universe and the extra dimensions for solving both the hierarchy problem and the cosmological constant problem without fine-tuning. This relation associates the dark energy (i.e., cosmic acceleration) in the cosmological physics with the electroweak scale in particle physics, thereby ...

Cells in general are characterized by a high potassium and a low sodium content. This applies both to the animal kind with freely distensible membranes and to the plant variety with comparatively rigid membranes. In the animal organism, whether this is unicellular or multicellular, the K content of the cell is always much greater than that of its environment and the Na content in general is muc...
