Hardness Ratio

In aluminum foil rolling, the secondary particles may lead to stress concentration at the boundary between these particles and the matrix. Different types of particles would result in stress concentration at different levels. The three dimensional finite element modeling (3D-FEM) was used to simulate the effect of the particles with different hardness on mechanical properties of the matrix of AA1235 aluminum foils in its foil rolling process. The hardness ratio was used to evaluate the mechanical property of foils. It has been found that when the hardness ratio of the particle was similar to that of the matrix (R=1), the interaction mechanism of the dislocations with the particle was dislocation cutting way. When the hardness ratio of the particle to the matrix increased from 1 to 6, the interaction mechanism of the particle with the matrix changed from the dislocation cutting way to the Orowan dislocation bypass way. When the hardness ratio increased to as high as 6, dislocation interacted with the particle only by the Orowan dislocation bypass way.

The morphology of bright-craterlet during hydrophile aluminum foil rolling was analyzed by SEM and metalloscope. Two kinds of bright-craterlet were found, one is sliding-line type bright-craterlet and another is crater type bright-craterlet. The results show that sliding-line type bright-craterlet is caused by the poor degasification in the cast-rolling process. On the other hand, the crater type bright-craterlet is caused by the porosity. The main reason for these defects is the low cast-rolling rate. The preventive measures were also examined to improve qualities of hydrophile aluminum foils further.

A three-dimensional inverse analysis utilizes a different perspective to estimate the surface thermal behavior of the working roll in rolling process. The inverse analysis is based on the temperature reading taken inside the roll at several different locations. At the beginning of the study, finite-difference methods are employed to discretize the problem domain and then a linear inverse model is constructed to identify the boundary conditions. The present approach is to rearrange the matrix forms of the differential governing equations and estimate the surface unknown conditions of the working roll. Then, the linear least-squares method is adopted to find the solution. The advantages of this proposed inverse analysis method are that no prior information is needed regarding the functional form of the unknown quantities, no initial guess need be used and the numbers of iterations for calculation process is limited to one. The results show that only few measuring points are sufficient to estimate the boundary conditions when measurement errors are neglected. When measurement errors are considered, more measuring points are needed in order to increase the congruence of the estimated results to exact solutions. [S1087-1357(00)70201-2]

A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase

The tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are endogenous inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes that play central roles in the degradation of extracellular matrix components. The balance between MMPs and TIMPs is important in the maintenance of tissues, and its disruption affects tissue homoeostasis. Four related TIMPs (TIMP-1 to TIMP-4) can each form a complex with MMPs in a 1:1 stoichiometry with high affinity, but their inhibitory activities towards different MMPs are not particularly selective. The three-dimensional structures of TIMP-MMP complexes reveal that TIMPs have an extended ridge structure that slots into the active site of MMPs. Mutation of three separate residues in the ridge, at positions 2, 4 and 68 in the amino acid sequence of the N-terminal inhibitory domain of TIMP-1 (N-TIMP-1), separately and in combination has produced N-TIMP-1 variants with higher binding affinity and specificity for individual MMPs. TIMP-3 is unique in that it inhibits not only MMPs, but also several ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) and ADAMTS (ADAM with thrombospondin motifs) metalloproteinases. Inhibition of the latter groups of metalloproteinases, as exemplified with ADAMTS-4 (aggrecanase 1), requires additional structural elements in TIMP-3 that have not yet been identified. Knowledge of the structural basis of the inhibitory action of TIMPs will facilitate the design of selective TIMP variants for investigating the biological roles of specific MMPs and for developing therapeutic interventions for MMP-associated diseases.

Computational simulation has become more important in the design of thermomechanical processing since it allows the optimization of associated parameters such as temperature, stresses, strains and phase transformations. This work presents the results of the three-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation of the hot rolling process of a medium Mn steel using DEFORM-3D software. Temperature and effective strain distribution in the surface and center of the sheet were analyzed for different rolling passes; also the change in damage factor was evaluated. According to the hot rolling simulation results, experimental hot rolling parameters were established in order to obtain the desired microstructure avoiding the presence of ferrite precipitation during the process. The microstructural characterization of the hot rolled steel was carried out using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that the phases present in the steel after hot rolling are austenite and α′-martensite. Additionally, to understand the mechanical behavior, tensile tests were performed and concluded that this new steel can be catalogued in the third automotive generation.

AbstractThree-dimensional porous scaffolds are widely employed in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine for their ability to carry bioactives and cells; and for their platform properties to allow for bridging-the-gap within an injured tissue. This study describes the effect of various methoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG) derivatives (mPEG (-OCH3 functionality), mPEG-aldehyde (mPEG-CHO) and mPEG-acetic acid (mPEG-COOH)) on the morphology and physical properties of chemically crosslinked, semi-interpenetrating polymer network (IPN), chitosan (CHT)/mPEG blend cryosponges. Physicochemical and molecular characterization revealed that the –CHO and –COOH functional groups in mPEG derivatives interacted with the –NH2 functionality of the chitosan chain. The distinguishing feature of the cryosponges was their unique morphological features such as fringe thread-, pebble-, curved quartz crystal-, crystal flower-; and canyon-like structures. The morphological data was well corroborated by the image processing data and physisorption curves corresponding to Type II isotherm with open hysteresis loops. Functionalization of mPEG had no evident influence on the macro-mechanical properties of the cryosponges but increased the matrix strength as determined by the rheomechanical analyses. The cryosponges were able to deliver bioactives (dexamethasone and curcumin) over 10 days, showed varied matrix degradation profiles, and supported neuronal cells on the matrix surface. In addition, in silico simulations confirmed the compatibility and molecular stability of the CHT/mPEG blend compositions. In conclusion, the study confirmed that significant morphological variations may be induced by minimal functionalization and crosslinking of biomaterials.

AbstractThe present research exposes the investigation on three-dimensional modeling of the single and twin metro tunnels for the case of the Tehran metro line. At first, simulation implemented on the comparison of the ground movements in the single and twin tunnels. Then the simulation has been performed on the influence of effective parameters of EPB-TBM on the surface settlements throughout excavation. The overcutting, shield conicity, grouting, and the final lining system modeled and the influence of face supporting pressure, grout injection pressure, as well as the clear distance of the tunnels, has been analyzed. The initial results showed a valid ground settlement behavior. The maximum settlements occurred at the end of the shield tail and it was higher in the single tunnel. The face supporting pressure had more effect on the surface settlement in comparison to the grout injection pressure. By increasing the face pressure in the single tunnel, the place of maximum settlement moved back while the grout pressure is insignificant for decreasing the settlements. Furthermore, the influence of the clear distance in the twin tunnels led to zero after the length of 30 m. Accordingly, for more distances, the tunnels must be examined independently and as two different single tunnels.
