Since the early 1980s, CAPP has been expected to bridge the gap between CAD and CAM. Though numerous research works on CAPP have been reported, it is not easy to ®nd a commercial CAPP system applicable to complicated objects with freeform shapes such as mold and die. The dependency on CAM system is holding one leg of CAPP, while the complexity of the solution space in freeform shape machining h...

Press formed products have recently been applied widely in various structures. forming is a mass production method that used to manufacture many machine components such as automobiles, industrial machinery, and plants. However, there limit the degree of shape freedom can be applied, so measures against cracks, wrinkles, spring-back, etc., must taken development process. It well known it difficu...

In der Chirurgie spielte Training schon immer eine wichtige Rolle. Mit der Einführung minimal-invasiver Verfahren ist der Bedarf deutlich gestiegen. Neben dem Tiermodell konnte der Anwender bisher nur auf Boxoder virtuelle Trainer zurückgreifen. ELITE (endoskopisch-laparoskopische interdisziplinäre Trainingseinheit) ist ein neues voll-synthetisches ex-vivo Trainingsmodell, mit dem die unterschi...

Modern medicine faces fundamental challenges that various approaches to the philosophy of medicine have tried to address. One of these approaches is based on the ancient concept of phronesis. This paper investigates whether this concept can be used as a moral basis for the challenges facing modern medicine and, in particular, analyses phronesis as it is applied in the works of Pellegrino and Th...

This study used finite element analysis software DEFORM-3D to analyze the preform formability and die stress in pre-forming process of forging automobile transmission components. The materials are AISI- 5120 alloy steel JIS-SKD61 mould steel, respectively. research investigated phenomenon folding defects at end final process. First, as shape under pre-formed channel was designed change, its clo...

The effect of the box shape on the dynamic behavior of proteins simulated under periodic boundary conditions is evaluated. In particular, the influence of simulation boxes defined by the near-densest lattice packing (NDLP) in conjunction with rotational constraints is compared to that of standard box types without these constraints. Three different proteins of varying size, shape, and secondary...

Deformation of the material during cyclic expansion extrusion (CEE) is investigated using upper-bound theorem. The analytical approximation of forming loads agrees very well with the FEM results for different amounts of chamber diameter, friction factor and also for lower die angles. However, the difference between analytical and numerical solution increases at higher die angles which are expla...

Zusammenfassung: Der Glass-Box-Test (GBT), der auch als White-Boxoder Strukturtest bezeichnet wird, zeigt den im Test ausgeführten – und viel wichtiger: den nicht ausgeführten – Programmcode an. Dieser Grad der Ausführung wird als Überdeckung bezeichnet. Empirische Untersuchungen zeigen eindeutig, dass eine hohe GBT-Überdeckung mit einer geringeren Restfehlerrate korreliert. Viele brauchbare We...

We study orthogonal drawings of 4-planar graphs on cylinders—so called ortho-radial drawings. Equivalently these can be regarded as drawings on an ortho-radial grid formed by concentric circles and rays from the center of these circles but excluding the center itself. Ortho-radial drawings form a proper extension of orthogonal drawings in the plane. We present ortho-radial representations as a ...
