Abstract: In a tandem cold-rolling mill, a strip is successively reduced in gauge at each stand as it passes through the mill. The optimal scheduling of a tandem mill is an important but difficult ...

Abstract: A number of experiments was conducted on the dry and air-cooled turning of steel with TiN coated carbide tool, and Weibull distribution was fitted on the tool life data. It is observed that ...

Abstract: The finite element analysis of cold flat rolling has been carried out by a number of researchers using updated Lagrangian and flow formulations. The major difficulty in the flow formulation ...

Abstract: In this work, the problem of shape optimization of flexible robotic manipulators of circular cross sections is studied. Two different manipulators are considered—a manipulator with revolute joint ...
