Thermal Contact Conductance (TCC) between an exhaust valve and its seat is one of the important parameters to be estimated in an internal combustion engine. An experimental study presented here to acquire temperature in some interior points to be used as inputs to an inverse analysis. An actual exhaust valve and its seat are utilized in a designed and constructed setup. Conjugate Gradient Metho...

This article presents an investigation of antiadhesive coatings for nanoimprinting lithography. To get the optimum parameters of the coating process, a surface-contact angle goniometer and an atomic force microscope were used for detailed comparison of the coated surfaces produced with different process parameters. With the antiadhesive coating, the contact angle of deionized water on the mold ...

The present paper focuses on the investigation of self-cleaning properties based on studding of water repellency and blood repellency for TiN- and CrN single-layer and TiN/CrN nanoscale multi-layer coatings deposited via Cathodic Arc Evaporation (CAE) method on medical grade 420C stainless steel substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) method and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) wa...

Apple fruit can be damaged because of some impact forces which are the main sources of apple degradation during the contact. To reduce the damage, it is necessary to investigate normal contact forces. The normal contact force models depend on dynamical parameters such as spring and damping. The spring and damping parameters of Kuwabara and Kano normal contact force model are obtained in differe...

a thermophilic anaerobic contact reactor for the treatment of potato-processing wastewaterswas designed as a continuous-flow, completely-mixed homogeneous system. the reactor was operated at ten different organic loading rates ranging from 0.84 g cod/l·d to 7.00 g cod/l·d for a duration of approximately 250 days. the fundamental way to maintain optimum operating conditions of anaerobic digestio...

This paper presents a contribution to programming by human demonstration, in the context of compliant motion task specification for sensor-controlled robot systems that physically interact with the environment. Onewants to learn about the geometric parameters of the task and segment the totalmotion executed by the human into subtasks for the robot that can each be executed with simple compliant...

abstract: in the present paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for contact cr-warped product to be contact cr-product in kenmotsu space forms.

In this paper, a new approach for identification of the compliant contact parameters model in multibody systems simulation using a neural network algorithm is presented. Based on the training and testing the network for some input and output data sets, a general framework is established for identification of these parameters. For this purpose, first, the literature devoted to the identification...
