BACKGROUND When using upper-lid gold implants in facial palsy, a certain percentage of undesired effects and complications are known to occur (eg, astigmatism, pseudoptosis, migration, bulging, and extrusion). Our flexible platinum chain implant adapts better to the changing radius of the tarsus with movement of the globe and reduces the complication rate. Platinum implants are smaller, owing t...

274 Optimization of process parameter for surface finishing in abrasive flow finishing process Ravi Gupta (M.E) Asst. Prof.(Lovely Professional University) [email protected] , Abstract-Abrasive flow finishing is a non-conventional finishing process that is used for finishing of work piece which are difficult to finish by conventional method i.e. by honing, lapping and other machining operati...

The objectives of this study were to determine the ileal and total tract digestibility of individual fatty acids, ether extract, energy, protein, and AA in a mix of flax and field pea (FP) and to determine whether extrusion improves the nutritive value of this mix. Five barrows (23-kg initial BW) fitted with a T-cannula at the distal ileum were fed 5 diets at 3 times the maintenance energy requ...

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...

In this paper, an analytical method for noncircular shape extrusion is presented. Using this method, non-linear deformation field can be described with Hermit cubic spline which is prescribed by the boundary conditions of the die at its entryand exit. The upper bound method has been used to obtain optimum coefficient of the tangential boundary conditions. The results show that the optimum tange...

In this paper, a generalized expression for the flow field in axisymmetric extrusion process is suggested to be valid for any dies and the boundary shapes of the plastic deformation zone. The general power terms are derived and the extrusion force is calculated by applying upper bound technique for a streamlined die shape and exponential functions for shear boundaries. It is shown that assuming...
