The dimpling process is a novel cold-roll forming process that involves dimpling of a rolled flat strip prior to the roll forming operation. This is a process undertaken to enhance the material properties and subsequent products' structural performance while maintaining a minimum strip thickness. In order to understand the complex and interrelated nonlinear changes in contact, geometry and mate...

The dimpling of the CuO2 planes (spacing between the O2,3 and Cu2 layers) in YBa2Cu3Ox has been measured as a function of oxygen concentration and temperature by yttrium x-ray extended-fine-structure spectroscopy (EXAFS). The relative variations of the dimpling with doping (x = 6.806 − 6.984) and temperature (20300 K) are weak (within 0.05 Å), and arise mainly from displacements of the Cu2 atom...

in this paper, we investigated the necessity and effects of optimal control methods in the stability and performance of a micro-grid that operates in islanded mode. the micro-gird is consisted of a combine heat and power (chp), a capacitor bank (cb), photovoltaic panel (pv) as power generation sources. in addition, battery and the building electricity and thermal load are placed on the load sid...

MN55 is an apple ( Malus × domestica Borkh.) cultivar recently released by the University of Minnesota breeding program, with fruit marketed in U.S. as Rave ® . When stored for 4 months at 0 to °C, can develop several storage disorders, including skin dimpling. Skin dimpling incidence was greater harvested 1 week later than those earlier. Dimpling not alleviated prestorage treatments 1-methylcy...

Size, shape, volume fraction and distribution of embedded g/ phase in g phase has direct effect on strength of INCONEL alloy. Microstructure parameters of INCONEL phases are quantified from microstructure images using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Different TEM sample preparation techniques were used to study INCONEL 738 alloy microstructure for transmission electron micros...
