obtaining temperature distribution data of slabs under rolling is essential as the mechanical and metallurgical properties of the metal under this process vary with temperature. using the control volume method, a mathematical model is employed in this study to predict slab temperature in the hot roll process at mobarakeh steel company. the effects of different parameters including the heat resu...

We have fabricated GaP two-dimensional photonic crystals (PCs) for terahertz (THz) wave generation by a reactive ion etching in Ar/Cl2 gas chemistries. We performed 75-mm-deep etching of GaP, in which Al2O3 layer is applied as a hard mask with its selectivity as high as 125. We demonstrated the THz-wave generation from the fabricated GaP slab waveguide with the PC structure as a cladding layer ...

This study presents the results of an experimental program to investigate the effectiveness of an innovative combined FRP technique using combination of externally bonded (EB) FRP fabrics and near surface mounted (NSM) FRP rods for flexural strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) two-wayslabs with low clear cover thickness. Three full-scale RC slabs (1500×1500×120 mm) were tested und...

A seismic low velocity layer (LVL) above the mantle transition zone (MTZ), often thought to be caused by volatile-induced melting, can significantly modulate planetary volatile cycles. In this work, we show that an LVL observed beneath northeast Asia is characterized small, 0.8 0.5 vol%, average degrees of partial melting. Seismically derived P-T conditions indicate slab-derived , possibly comb...

ionospheric slab thickness is defined as the ratio of tec to maximum electron density of the f-region (nmf2), proportional to the square of the f2-layer critical frequency (fof2). it is an important parameter in that it is linearly correlated with scale height of the ionosphere, which is related to electron density profile. it also reflects variation of the neutral temperature. therefore, ionos...

Given a set of points in a Hilbert space that can be separated from the origin. The slab support vector machine (slab SVM) is an optimization problem that aims at finding a slab (two parallel hyperplanes whose distance—the slab width—is essentially fixed) that encloses the points and is maximally separated from the origin. Extreme cases of the slab SVM include the smallest enclosing ball proble...

In this paper, properties of slab deformation in sizing press mill as one of the slab reduction processes in hot rolling mills have been evaluated using the elastoviscoplastic finite element method with explicit formulation. Effect of prarameters such as initial slab width and thickness, reduction, feed pitch, and anvil speed on factors such as dogbone formation, head and tail fishtail profile,...
