Stereolithography has attracted more attention due to better part build accuracy than other rapid prototyping technologies. However, this build method still limits wider applications due to the unsatisfactory level of dimensional accuracy that remains with the current technology. To improve accuracy and reduce part distortion, understanding the physics involved in the relationship between the o...

Steel consumption is a critical factor affecting pricing decisions and a key element to achieve sustainable industrial development. Forecasting future trends of steel consumption based on analysis of nonlinear patterns using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques is the main purpose of this paper. Because there are several features affecting target variable which make the analysis of relations...

on the basis of a reproducing kernel space, an iterative algorithm for solving the one-dimensional linear and nonlinear schrödinger equations is presented. the analytical solution is shown in a series form in the reproducing kernel space and the approximate solution is constructed by truncating the series. the convergence of the approximate solution to the analytical solution is also proved. th...

in this paper, free vibration of functionally graded rectangular simply supported thick plates based on two variable refined plate theory is presented. according to a power-law distribution, the mass density and elasticity modulus of the plate are considered to vary while poisson’s ratio is constant. in order to extract the five constitutive equations of motion, hamilton principle is employed. ...
