Energy conversion applications are directly affected through the employment of turbomachines and their efficiencies. Energy importance and wide-spread application of turbomachines, make it crucial to optimize their components. ...

A drawbead modeling technique is presented to improve the accuracy of finite element simulations in terms of part draw-in and thickness predictions and validated with channel drawing experiments of a high-strength low-alloy ...

Ion nitriding is one of the most promising thermochemical surface treatments to improve surface properties such as wear and corrosion resistance and fatigue strength. The prediction of effective case depth before nitriding ...

The unprecedented developments in information and communication technologies, together with other developments, such as increased prevalence of the internet, limited time of individuals allocated to face-to-face health ...

In this paper, a notch analysis model is presented for the numerical prediction of multiaxial strains of a notched 1070 steel specimen under combined axial and torsion loadings. The proposed model is based on the notion ...

Proper execution of exams aimed at assessment & evaluation is of critical importance in Learning Management Systems (LMS). Problems arising from human-centered errors or technical difficulties may lead to questioning of ...

In this part of the study, details of mixed mode-I/II/III fracture experiments for the CTST (Compact Tension-Shearing and Tearing) specimen, for which modeling and analyses results are given in Part 1, are presented. ...

A theoretical failure model is presented for the numerical prediction of the forming limit strains of automotive sheets. The model uses the Swift's diffuse necking and Hill's localized necking concepts in describing ...
