one of the challenges in non-destructive testing schemes using the ultrasound pulse-echo technique is to identify those defects whose sizes are less than or equal to the detection resolution that is dependent on the width of the ultrasound pulse. existing methods also require a reference specimen of the same defective material, which may not be available in some cases. we present a new method f...

in this research, the effect of friction between the liquid metal and the sand mould wall and the effect of passage of liquid through a vertical bend and through a ceramic filter on the fluid flow and the melt velocity has been studied by measuring the velocity of the melt and direct observation of the liquid flow through the different parts of a naturally-pressurized running system. the fricti...

background: aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the gated volumetric modulated arc therapy (vmat/rapidarc) using 2d planar dosimetry, dynalog files and compass 3d dosimetry system. materials and methods: pre-treatment quality assurance of 10 gated vmat plans was verified using 2d array and compass 3d dosimetry system. advantage of compass over 2d planar is that it provides the clin...

Power gating technique reduces leakage power in the circuit. However, power gating leads to large voltage fluctuation on the power rail during power gating mode to active mode due to the package inductance in the Printed Circuit Board. This voltage fluctuation may cause unwanted transitions in neighboring circuits. In this work, a power gating architecture is developed for minimizing power in a...

The liquid metal flow and the solidification behaviours in a multi-cavity casting mould of two automotive cast parts were simulated in three dimensions. The commercial code, FLOW-3D® was used because it can track the front of the molten metal by a Volume of Fluid (VOF) method and allows complicated parts to be modeled by the Fractional Area/Volume Obstacle Representation (FAVOR) meth...

important activities of die-casting die design. In normal practice, determine therunner and gating designparameters. These parameters are simulations on a computer and dry runs on adie-casting machine These iterative activities increase the manufacturing lead time and makes A system which could reduce the iterations and make the presentsa computer-aided system for runner and gating system gener...
