NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE PLASTIC FORMING OF DOUBLY CURVED SURFACES OF ALUMINUM FOAM SANDWICH PANEL USING 3D VORONOI MODEL

Numerical Study on the Plastic Forming of Doubly Curved Surfaces of Aluminum Foam Sandwich Panel Using 3D Voronoi Model

This paper presents a numerical investigation on the plastic forming of doubly curved surfaces of aluminum foam sandwich panel (AFSP).A mesoscopic 3D Voronoi model that can describe the structure of closed-cell aluminum foam relatively realistically was established, and a series of numerical simulations using the model of the sandwich panel with a

Drought conditions and sediment transport in the Sabie River

Drought conditions in the Sabie catchment in the eastern Transvaal (now called Mpumalanga), South Africa, has had an observable effect on the sediment dynamics of the river.Sediment production within the catchment is largely unaffected by a reduction in the frequency and magnitude of rainfall events, although the rate of translocation of the weathe

Cryptic genera, cryptic species: phylogeny of the genus Philopteroides Mey, 2004, sensu lato, with descriptions of two new genera and one new species

Closely related chewing lice in the Philopterus-complex are typically morphologically Celery homogeneous, with the most significant differences often being in the male genitalia.However, in many groups within this complex the male genitalia are reduced and lacking one or more element, with the remaining components often at least partially fused.Thi
