The present study is concerned with the hydrostatic extrusion process of copper-clad aluminum rod through metallurgical joining. In this study, the rigid plastic finite element program, HICKORY, is used to analyze the steady state extrusion process of the bimetal rod. Simulations are performed for copper-clad aluminum rod with several extrusion ratio to give the distributions of effective strain rate, equivalent stress and hardness. Experiments are also carried out for aluminum-inserted copper rod at room temperature. It is found out that finite element predictions are generally in good agreement with the experimental observations. The detail comparison of the extrusion loads by the finite element method with those by experiments are given.

In the present study, in order to investigate the effect of the corner filling in the drawing of the rectangular rod from a round bar, the drawing of the square rod from a round bar has been simulated by using rigid-plastic finite element method and artificial neural network has been introduced to reduce the number of simulation. The experimental investigation has been also implemented to verify the efficiency of the application of results of present and previous study. According to the results of present and pervious study, the combination of semi-die angle gives a great effect on the corner filling in case of the irregular shaped drawing process, but, in case of the regular shaped drawing process, the main process variable on the corner filling is reduction in area.

In this study, a method to find the optimal intermediate die geometry for the multi-stage drawing process for the rectangular rod from a round bar is proposed and a program using the proposed method is developed. On the stage of the design of the intermediate die geometry, the virtual die was constructed using the initial billet as a inlet of the drawing die and the final product as a exit of that and the virtual die was divided by the number of pass. Divided die was transformed into the rectangular one which is the intermediate die geometry for the multi-stage rectangular drawing process. In order to verify the application of the proposed method on the real industrial product, the drawing of the rectangular rod from a round which composed two stage has been performed and simulated by the three dimensional rigid plastic finite element method.

Three-dimensional, statistical-mechanical formulations of problems are usually untractable analytically, and therefore they are commonly solved numerically. However, their one-dimensional counterparts are always to be solved analytically. In general analytical solutions sheds more insights to the problems than numerical solutions. Hence, solutions of one-dimensional problems may provide key properties to the problems, when they are extended to three dimensions. In this article, thermodynamic properties of one-dimensional fluid comprising molecules of rigid rods are analyzed statistical-mechanically. Molecules of rigid rods are characterized with repulsive or excluded volume effect. It is observed that this feature is well reflected in thermodynamic functions such as Helmholtz free energy. volumetric equation of state. chemical potential, entropy, etc.

The deformed shape of rod specimen of copper alloys was measured after the high-velocity impact against a rigid anvil and analyzed with one-dimensional theory to determine dynamic yield stress and strain-rate sensitivity which is defined as the ratio of dynamic yield stress to static flow stress. The evvect of two-dimensional deformation on the determination of dynamic yield stress by the one-dimensional theory, was investigated through comparison with the analysis by hydrocode. It showed that the one-dimensional theory is relatively consistent with two-dimensional hydrocode in spite of its simplicity in analysis.

Scoliosis is a complex musculoskeletal dieses requiring 3-D treatment with surgical instrumentation. To investigate the effects of correction surgery, a finite element model of personalized model of the scoliotic spine that will allow the design of clinical test providing optimal estimation of the post-operation results was developed. Three dimensional skeletal parts, such as vertebrae, clavicle and scapular were modeled as rigid bodies with keeping their morphologies. Kinematical joints and spring elements were adapted to represent the inter-vertebral disc and ligaments respectively. With this model, two types of surgery procedure, distraction procedure with Harrington device and rod derotation procedure with pedicle screw and rod system had been carried out. The obtained simulation results were comparatively corresponding to the post operational outcomes and successfully demonstrated qualitative analysis of surgical effectiveness. From this analysis, it has been found that the preparing of appropriate rod curvature and its insertion was more important than just performing the excessive derotation for scoliosis correction.

In this study, to investigate the effect of process variables such as reduction in area, semi-die angle and the rectangular ratio to the corner filling which influences the dimensional accuracy of the final product in the drawing of the cluadrangle rod from a round bar, it has been simulated by three dimensional rigid-plastic finite element method. In order to reduce the number of simulation artificial neural network has been introduced. Also, through the experimental investigation, the present results have been implemented on the industrial product. In results, the main process variable is the combination of the semi-die angle in case of the irregular shaped drawing process and reduction in area in the event of regular shaped drawing process, respectively.

This paper presents the study of the effects of rigid-body motion simultaneously with the presence of the effects of temporal variation due to the existence of morphing speed on the aeroelastic stability of the two-stage telescopic wings, and hence this is the main novelty of this study. To this aim, Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is used to model the bending-torsional dynamics of the wing. The aerodynamic loads on the wing in an incompressible flow regime are determined by using Peters' unsteady aerodynamic model. The governing aeroelastic equations are discretized employing a finite element method based on the beam-rod model. The effects of rigid-body motion on the length-based stability of the wing are determined by checking the eigenvalues of system. The obtained results are compared with those available in the literature, and a good agreement is observed. Furthermore, the effects of different parameters of rigid-body such as the mass, radius of gyration, fuselage center of gravity distance from wing elastic axis on the aeroelastic stability are discussed. It is found that some parameters can cause unpredictable changes in the critical length and frequency. Also, paying attention to the fuselage parameters and how they affect stability is very important and will play a significant role in the design.

In order to improve the processability of rigid rod-like polyspiroacetals without significant loss of their good nature, in this work a few new ideas for molecular design were adopted: (1) Copolymerization for breaking the regularity of polymer repeating units. (2) Incorporation of flexible methylene linkages or spacers in rigid spiroacetal polymer main chain. (3) Derivatization of long flexible side chains onto rigid polymer backbone. On the basis of these ideas, a series of polyspiroacetals were prepared, using the phase transfer catalyst, BTMAC, by interfacial polymerization reactions of spiroacetal monomer (SAB) and disubstituted aromatic acid chlorides or aliphatic diacid chlorides. Physical properties of these polyspiroacetals are discussed in relation to their chemical structure and are compared with those of polyspiroacetals synthesized by several other researchers.
