A significant barrier to the diffusion bonding of large (i.e. 600 mm) microchannel devices is the large capital investment required to setup production. This large capital investment extends from long heating and cooling ...

Improvement of manufacturing productivity is dependent on the successful automation of manufacturing processes, the success of which is based in turn upon the availability of information which describes the state of ma ...

Pure aluminum deformed in torsion (shear) at elevated temperatures reaches a broad "peak" stress and then undergoes about a 17% decrease in flow stress with deformation to roughly 1-2 equivalent uniaxial strain. Beyond ...

In mining and mineral processing, compressive loading is often encountered during the comminution of ore bearing minerals and in the wear resistant materials used in the comminution circuit. A common thread joining man ...

Design of commercial aircraft structure, composed of composite material, requires the prediction of failure loads given large scale damage. In particular, a fuselage of graphite/epoxy lamination was analyzed for damage ...

Algorithms for analyzing laser interferometry signals were developed and adopted to the computer based processing of small displacement measurements. These methods, matrix operation approach and fixed parameters appr ...

Polymeric composites exhibit time-dependent behavior, which raises a concern about their long term durability and leads to a viscoelastic study of these materials. Linear viscoelastic analysis has been found to be inad ...

A sawmill is similar to other manufacturing enterprises when it comes to making decisions, scheduling production and meeting customer demands. In order to help sawmills achieve their goals, and because there is such a hi ...
