austenite is a semi-stable phase in most stainless steels that deforms to martensite under md30 and forms martensitetype ά and ε due to the deformation in the steels. since the distribution of strain induced martensite plays animportant role in achieving desired properties, the main objective of the present work is to model martensitedistribution of ά during cold rolling using finite element me...

Rolling allows leukocytes to maintain adhesion to vascular endothelium and to molecularly coated surfaces in flow chambers. Using insights from adhesive dynamics, a computational method for simulating leukocyte rolling and firm adhesion, we have developed a semianalytic model for the steady-state rolling of a leukocyte. After formation in a force-free region of the contact zone, receptor-ligand...

The chemokine IL-8 is found on the luminal side of vascular endothelial cells, where it is postulated to be immobilized during inflammation. In this study, we observed that immobilized IL-8 can stimulate neutrophils to firmly adhere to a substrate containing ICAM-1 in a static adhesion assay. Soluble IL-8 was then perfused over neutrophils rolling on P-selectin (P-sel) and ICAM-1, confirming th...

Machine Learning classification models have been trained and validated from a dataset (73 features 13,616 instances) including experimental information of clean cold forming steel fabricated by electric arc furnace hot rolling. A model was developed to identify inclusion contents above the median. The following algorithms were implemented: Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Tree...

The radial cold rolling process is widely used in industry due to the advantages of chip removing processing. In this study, circular complex profiles were formed by cold-rolling with feed, using a patented device two roller-tools. By achieving several numerical simulations process, study aimed establish influence that maximum set force and diameter workpiece have on productivity quality trapez...

Leukocyte rolling along the walls of inflamed venules precedes their adhesion during inflammation. Rolling leukocytes are thought to arrest by engaging beta2 integrins following cellular activation. In vitro studies suggest that chemoattractants may instantaneously activate and arrest rolling leukocytes. However, how leukocytes stop rolling and become adherent in inflamed venules in vivo has re...

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that reducing shear rates in postcapillary venules causes CD18-dependent, selectin-independent leukocyte rolling. Intravital microscopy was used to assess shear rate-dependent leukocyte rolling in 25- to 40-microns rat mesenteric venules. Pretreatment of animals with 25 mg/kg fucoidin, a carbohydrate moiety that binds to and inhibits selectin function, es...

In order to achieve the nonsmooth surface drag reduction structure on the inner polymer coating of oil and gas pipelines and improve the efficiency of pipeline transport, a structural model of the machining robot on the pipe inner coating is established. Based on machining robot, an experimental technique is applied to research embossing and coating problems of rolling-head, and then the moldin...

Metal forming operations such as rolling, extrusion, and drawing offer many opportunities for operations improvement through better process understanding and improved planning practices. This paper addresses short and medium term planning issues in sheet, plate, and tube manufacturing operations. First, v^e identify certain distinctive characteristics-the inherent process flexibility, close int...
