In this research, the effect of different structural parameters on the dynamic behaviour of a thick plate with a smart attached mass, which is a mass embedded with the Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) fibers were investigated. The ...

Two main problems exist with friction stir spot welded joints; remaining of a keyhole after welding and low strength of joints. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to address both problems in a simple and cost-effective ...

Hydro screw is an axial micro hydro turbine of Archimedean origin. Due to ever-increasing need for clean fuel based and environmentally clean electric power, a research project was undertaken at IROST. In this study, the ...

Manufacturing of complicated industrial components is one of the main challenges for mechanical engineers in sheet metal forming processes. Incremental sheet metal forming (ISMF) is used widely for forming complicated ...

Phase Change Materials (PCMs) have been the subject of many researches in recent years due to the storage and release of energy at low temperature ranges. PCMs store or releasing a large amount of energy at a constant ...

In this research, the multi-pass friction stir processing on AZ91 alloy has been simulated with the three-dimensional numerical modeling based on the ABAQUS/ Explicit. This simulation involves the Johnson-Cook models for ...

High demands of quality development in the industry especially automotive, necessitates multi-objective optimization of the manufacturing processes. Fuel cells are one of the most important sources of renewable energies ...

The main target of this paper is to obtain an optimum wedge angle for best static and dynamic performance of a V-shaped clamp band separation mechanism. For this purpose, by using the finite element method, the proper 3D ...

A molecular dynamics simulation study is employed to investigate the elastic and basic thermal properties of thermoset polymer based nanocomposite sample reinforced by CNT. The COMPASS force filed was used to construct the ...
