In collaboration with Ametek and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Oak Ridge National Laboratory has evaluated three different methods for converting titanium hydride-dehydride (HDH) powder into thin gauge titanium sheet from a roll-compacted preform. Methodologies include: sintering, followed by cold rolling and annealing; direct hot rolling of the rollcompa...

MOTIVATION The O-ring theory reveals that the binding hot spot at a protein interface is surrounded by a ring of residues that are energetically less important than the residues in the hot spot. As this ring of residues is served to occlude water molecules from the hot spot, the O-ring theory is also called 'water exclusion' hypothesis. We propose a 'double water exclusion' hypothesis to refine...

Rolling element bearing is essential part of machinery. The rolling bearing, with outer ring fixed, is a multi body mechanical system with rolling elements that transmit motion and load from the inner raceway to the outer raceway. The rolling bearings dynamical behaviour analysis is an important condition to determine the machine vibration response. Modern trend of Dynamic analysis is useful in...

The full annealing AA6061 aluminum alloy was subjected to severe plastic deformationvia the combination of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and cold rolling (CR) in order torefine its microstructure and to improve its mechanical properties. According to the results of hotand cold tensile tests, the combination of ECAP and CR significantly affected the final strengthand ductility of studied...
