The problem of determining the optimum metal plating thicknesses on the plane and curved surfaces of an electronic part is considered. A lower specification limit for the plating thickness is usually pre-specified. In most applications, the plating thickness on the curved surface is proportional to that on the plane surface. The proportion can be adjusted by adding chemical catalysts to the plating fluid. From the economic point of view, nonconforming items with a thickness smaller than the lower specification limit incur rejection costs, such as rework and scrap costs, while a thicker plating may incur an excessive material costs. In this article, an economic model is proposed for simultaneously determining the target plating thickness and the ratio of the plating thickness on the plane surface to that on the curved surface. An illustrative example demonstrates the applicability of the proposed model.

Arch bridges consist of some important components for structural behavior such as arches, sidewalls, filling materials and foundations. But, arches are the most important part for this type of bridges. For this reason, investigation of arch is come into prominence. In this paper, it is aimed to investigate the arch thickness effect on the structural behavior of masonry arch bridges. For this purpose, Goderni historical arch bridge which was located in Kulp town, Diyarbakir, Turkey and the bridge restoration process has still continued is selected as an application. The construction year of the bridge is not fully known, but the date is estimated to be the second half of the 19th century. The bridge has two arches with the 0.52 cm and 0.69 cm arch thickness, respectively. Finite element model of the bridge is constructed with ANSYS software to reflect the current situation using relievo drawings. Then the arch thickness is changed by increasing and decreasing respectively and finite element models are reconstructed. The structural responses of the bridge are obtained for all arch thickness under dead load and live load. Maximum displacements, maximum-minimum principal stresses and maximum-minimum elastic strains are given with detail using contours diagrams and compared with each other to determine the arch thickness effect. At the end of the study, it is seen that the maximum displacements, tensile stresses and strains have a decreasing trend, but compressive stress and strain have an increasing trend by the increasing of arch thickness.

Generally, cutting force models use a sin function method to calculate chip thickness. In slot end milling, the error from a sin function method is much bigger than other machining because a tool rotation angle in cutting is much larger. Thus in this paper, a new method to calculate chip thickness was suggested and evaluated. In a new method, tool position data according to tool rotation are checked and stored so that it is possible correct chip thickness is calculated. Cutting force waveforms simulated from a sin function method and a new method and measured waveforms from experiments were compared and error percentages were obtained. Finally, a new method had good results for simulating cutting force in slot end milling.

Pull-in voltage model of nano-electro-mechanical system with graphene is investigated for the device optimization. In the pull in voltage model, thickness of graphene layer is assumed to be uniform in vertical and lateral direction. Finite element analysis simulation has verified the feasibility of the suggested model. From the suggested model, pull-in voltage change with graphene thickness and cantilever length can be estimated. Maximum induced stress and graphene thickness have a reciprocal relationship.

The thickness of original hinge model is changed for structural stability in this study. The front end with the largest deformation of 9.8813 mm or the rear middle part with the largest equivalent stress of 6082.6 MPa is respectively shown at door hinge. The lower part of joint pin head with the largest deformation of 0.17499 mm and the largest equivalent stress of 1540.2 MPa are shown. The advanced model with more thickness and stability is shown to have smaller displacement in half and smaller equivalent stress by 3 times by comparing with the original model.

This study investigates the structural strength analysis due to rib thickness of lower arm. At structural analysis, model 1 has the most deformation by comparing three models. As most equivalent stress is shown at the part connected with wheel knuckle, the strength becomes weaker in cases of three models. At fatigue analysis, model 1 becomes most unstabilized among three models. Model 3 has most fatigue life and the next model is model 2. The range of maximum harmonic response frequencies becomes 140 to 175Hz in cases of three models. Because the critical frequency at model 3 becomes highest among three models but the stress exceeds yield stress, model 3 becomes most unstabilized at vibration durability. As models 1 and 2 has less than yield stress, these models become stabilized. Model 2 becomes most favorable by comparing three models at structural, fatigue and vibration analyses. This study result can be effectively utilized with the design of lower arm by investigating prevention against damage and its strength durability.

Plunge milling process is used for machining hole and is widely used in aerospace, automobile, and die/mold industries. The cutter is fed in the direction of spindle axis which has the highest structural rigidity. The kinematics of plunge milling differs from the traditional turning and milling in aspect of tool engagement and chip generation. This paper proposes the mechanistic cutting force model for plunge milling. Uncut chip thickness is calculated using the present cutter edge position and the previous cutter edge position. Instantaneous cutting force coefficients, which depend only on instantaneous uncut chip thickness, are derived based on the mechanistic approach. The developed cutting force model is verified through comparison of the predicted and the measured cutting forces.

In this study, a new model for calculating the liquid film thickness and condensation heat transfer coefficient in a vertical condenser tube is proposed by considering the effects of gravity, liquid viscosity, and vapor flow in the core region of the flow. In order to introduce the radial velocity profile in the liquid film, the liquid film flow was regarded to be in Couette flow dragged by the interfacial velocity at the liquid-vapor interface. For the calculation of the interfacial velocity, an empirical power-law velocity profile had been introduced. The resulting liquid film thickness and heat transfer coefficient obtained from the proposed model were compared with the experimental data from other experimental study and the results obtained from the other condensation models. In conclusion, the proposed model physically explained the liquid film thinning effect by the vapor shear flow and predicted the condensation heat transfer coefficient from experiments reasonably well.

The Bair & Winer's limiting shear stress rheological model is incorporated into the Reynolds equation to successfully predict the traction and film thickness for an isothermal line contact using the primary rheological properties. The modified WLF viscosity model and Barus viscosity model are also adapted for the realistic prediction of EHD tractional behavior. The influences of the limiting shear stress and slide-roll ratio on the pressure spike, film thickness, distribution of shear stress and nonlinear variation of traction are examined. A good agreement between the disc machine experiments and numerical traction prediction has been established. The film thickness due to non-Newtonian effects does not deviate significantly from the fdm thicknesss with Newtonian lubricant.

By virtue of chord-length density function from the field of statistical physics, this paper introduced a quantitative approach to estimate the distribution of cement paste thickness between aggregates in concrete. Dynamics mixing method based on molecular dynamics was employed to generate one model structure, then image analysis algorithm was used to obtain the distribution of thickness of cement paste in model structure for the purpose of verification. By comparison of probability density curves and cumulative probability curves of the cement paste thickness among neighboring aggregates, it is found that the theoretical results are consistent with the simulation. Furthermore, for the model mortar and concrete mixtures with practical volume fraction of Fuller-type aggregate, this analytical formula was employed to predict the influence of aggregate volume fraction and aggregate fineness. And evolution of its mean values were also investigated with the variation of volume fraction of aggregate as well as the fineness of aggregates in model mortars and concretes.
