Determination of critical points on hot stress-strain curve of metals is crucial in thermo-mechanical processes design. In this investigation a mathematical modeling is given to illustrate the behavior of metal during hot deformation processes such as hot rolling. The critical strain for the onset of dynamic recrystallization has been obtained as a function of strain at the maximum stress. In a...

T his paper proposes a new unit root test against the alternative of symmetric or asymmetric exponential smooth transition autoregressive (AESTAR) nonlinearity that accounts for multiple smooth breaks. We provide small sample properties which indicate the test statistics have good empirical size and power. Also, we compared small sample properties of the test statistics with Christop...

a new cesium ion selective pvc membrane based on parent calix [4] arene was developed for potentiometric determination of cesium in environmental samples. the electrode based on p-5,11,17,23tetra(tertbutyl) 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy calix[4]arene(thc) as ionophor ,dibutyl phthalate (dbp)as plasticizer ,sodium tetra phenyl borate(natpb)and oleic acid as lipophilic salt and additive showed the ...

in this research, a semi empirical approach has been suggested for calculating the activation energyof unimolecular thermal decomposition of vinyl ethers yielding saturated products. the calculationprocedure is based on the use of molecular mechanics (mm) methods. these methods which involvethe construction of the transition state for a molecule mainly consider the formation of a “hydrogenbridg...

micro scale gas flows has attracted significant research interest in the last two decades. in this research, the fluid flow of gases in the stepped micro-channel at a wide range of knudsen number has been analyzed with using the lattice boltzmann (mrt) method. in the model, a modified second-order slip boundary condition and a bosanquet-type effective viscosity are used to consider the velocity...
