The rolling process is an excellent method for processing new high performance polymers. Skew rolling, as a highly accurate and highly efficient rolling technology, has been commonly used to enhance mechanical properties and productivity. However, the complexity of the mechanics in the skew rolling process of polymers is a significant challenge for manufacturers and researchers. In this work, m...

Starting from the well-known fact that the rolling movement always has a lower friction compared to sliding friction, the authors have conceived and realized a pivoting movement joint on a "layer of balls" with "compensation space", placed between the acetabular cup and the femoral head. This technical solution allows free self-directed migration of the balls, depending on the resistance oppose...

In this paper, our main objective is to present the use of Microsoft Software Excel 2007/2003 for teaching college and university level curriculum in science and engineering. In particular, we discuss two interesting and fascinating examples of interactive applications of Microsoft Excel targeted for undergraduate students in (1) computational physics and physics education, and in (2) computer ...

Cold roller bending is commonly used for bending straight members with hot rolled wide-flange sections to create arches. This process induces plastic deformations along the member, so that it can acquire the desired curvature. The resulting residual stress distribution is different from the wellknown residual stress pattern due to hot rolling. Extensive studies have shown that the influence of ...

Abstract For the casted CrCoNi medium entropy alloy melted by magnetic levitation, deformation was carried out in 4 passes under condition of liquid nitrogen temperature (−196 °C), total reduction 50%, The microstructure and properties were analyzed after low rolled. experimental data showed that phase structure not changed low-temperature rolling. grains, crushed refined, elongated along rolli...

Study of various transportation indicators could be an appropriate criterion in evaluating the performance of the existing railways throughout the globe. This study was carried out to investigate the performance of rolling stock of Iranian railway using productivity analysis. In order to solve the problems, some solutions were provided by productivity management cycle steps. At the first step, ...

∗ Previous address: Department of Automation, Tianjin University, P. R. China Abstract In steel rolling industry, control of hot metal rolling process plays an important role in assuring high product quality and safe process operation. Although many advanced looper control technologies for finishing rolling process have emerged, looperless interstand tension control of roughing rolling mills re...
