Until about the end of WWII, the territorial organization of the economy could be expressed along a very strong center-periphery gradient, with industries and services concentrated in cities while the countryside supplied agricultural products. Since the i ...
Deformation-dependent punching shear resistance often constitutes the decisive design criterion for reinforced concrete slabs supported by columns. The increasing number of aging structures exhibiting insufficient punching resistance and detailing deficien ...
Remote laser welding which has benefits for both productivity and energy saving is receiving increased attention for automotive assembly lines. Introducing this innovative equipment requires a redesign process for assembly elements, for example to substitu ...
Reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs supported by slender columns are often used as gravity load resisting system for buildings in regions of moderate and high seismicity. Such buildings are typically braced by RC walls, which carry the largest portion of t ...
The present work deals with the large-scale application of the friction welding bonding technology on timber. The investigations that are described in the following were carried out on a prototype of a welding machine that was previously developed for the ...
W-2Y, W-1Y(2)O(3) and W-2Y(2)O(3) materials have been fabricated using two different powder metallurgy methods. While W-2Y and W-1Y(2)O(3) have been fabricated using mechanical alloying and hot isostatic pressing (Hipping), W-2Y(2)O(3) has been fabricated ...
This work is focused on the evolution of the microstructure of Inconel 718 during multi-pass forging processes. During the forming process, the material is subjected to several physical phenomena such as work-hardening, recovery, recrystallization and grai ...
In the forging industry, tools represent an important part in term of production and costs. Enhancing their life cycle is then a challenging issue. Several mechanical and thermal mechanisms are responsible for hot forging tools damage such as wear, thermal ...
Manufacturing of red gold components relies widely on controlling the formation of ordered precipitates during thermo-mechanical processing. The ordered phase hardens the material, makes it less workable and introduces residual stresses. We show that an in ...
