Rectangular waveguide is one of the earliest types of transmission lines. Rectangular waveguide can be produced by hot extrusion process. In this paper, the hot extrusion process of CuZn5 rectangular waveguide was investigated by Finite Element Method (FEM). In addition, Genetic Algorithm (GA) was used to optimize the die geometry and process conditions to achieve the lowest magnitude of extrus...

BACKGROUND Implantation of testosterone pellets under the lateral abdominal wall skin is an old but popular and effective form of androgen replacement therapy. Extrusion of one or more pellets remains the most frequent adverse event. OBJECTIVE To determine whether an alternative implantation site (hip) and/or track geometry (two vs. four tracks) would reduce extrusion rates compared with the ...

The main objective of this paper is to study the effect of extrusion parameters (extrusion stresses and temperature) and die geometry, i.e. extrusion radius, on the extruded aluminum quality using FEM Simulation Technique. For this purpose, the general FEA Software ABAQUS was used to set up the finite element model of the warm aluminum extrusion in two dimensions (2D). Aluminum alloy Al-2014 wa...

Twist extrusion process is a rather new route to produce highly strained materials. In this process, severe plastic deformation is applied by large shear strains. In current article, required energy for twist extrusion by use of admissible velocity field together with the upper bound technique is predicted. The proposed model is capable of considering the effect of various parameters such as di...

Fabrication of highly dense parts with complex geometry by paste-extrusion-based solid freeform fabrication processes requires a precise control of the extrusion flow rate to dispense material on demand, which is often referred as Extrusion-On-Demand (EOD). The extrusion process for aqueous ceramic pastes is complex and difficult to control due to their non-Newtonian behavior, compressibility a...

The extrusion of section from round billet poses a great challenge for theoretical modeling of the process using upper bound method. The greatest difficulty in three-dimensional upper bound method is to determine kinematically admissible velocity field. The SERR (Spatial Elementary Rigid Region) technique is fairly applicable for analyzing extrusion of sections having re-entrant corners. A modi...
