A new method for increasing LDR in deep drawing is application of anti-lock braking system (ABS) on blank holder. In this method, instead of applying a constant force on blank and control the metal flow, the ABS system holds and releases the blank several times (20 to 50 times) which results increasing LDR. This study investigates the effect of different parameters of ABS on improving the condi...

A fully relativistic modified gravitational theory including a fifth force skew symmetric field is fitted to the Pioneer 10/11 anomalous acceleration. The theory allows for a variation with distance scales of the gravitational constant G, the fifth force skew symmetric field coupling strength ω and the mass of the skew symmetric field μ = 1/λ. A fit to the available anomalous acceleration data ...

in this paper, by numerical simulation of gas flow, effects of divergence angles on the amplification factor, side force and thrust vector magnitude of a moveable nozzle with supersonic split line have been investigated. the study is conducted for constant exit to throat area ratio and the location of the split line is also constant. the finite volume method with second order upwind scheme for ...

The structure of CeO2 films grown on (1102) sapphire and on YBCO thin films was investigated. The films reported on here were grown by pulsed excimer laser deposition and their surface structure was probed using atomic force microscopy. We found that CeO2 films grown on sapphire were epitaxial with a granular structure which is smooth on an atomic scale. We see evidence of a surface reconstruct...

The influence of the sample size (diameter while keeping the length constant) in equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) of pure aluminum is examined using finite element method (FEM) and experiment. Different sized aluminum rods were processed via ECAP and the effect of sample size on the strain homogeneity, process load, and the ratio of the friction to the total force were evaluated. The resul...

Abstract To address coupling motion issues and realize large constant force range of microgrippers, we present a serial two-degree-of-freedom compliant microgripper (CCFMG) in this paper. output displacement compact structure, Scott–Russell amplification mechanisms, bridge-type lever mechanisms are combined to compensate stroke piezoelectric actuators. In addition, modules utilized achieve outp...

We investigated finger strength and the ability to control digit force/torque production in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) using manipulative tasks with different kinetic redundancies (KNR). Age-related changes in finger strength and finger force/torque control in typically developing (TD) children were also examined to provide a developmental landscape that allows a co...
