Abstract: Wire saw slicing is a cost effective technology with high surface quality for slicing large diameter silicon wafers. Though wire saws have been deployed to cut polycrystalline and single crystal ...

Abstract: Active compressor stability management can play a significant role in the intelligent control of gas turbine engines. The present work utilizes a computer simulation to illustrate the potential ...

Abstract: Natural convection in a discretely heated vertical cavity by three uniform flux heat sources on one side wall is experimentally and numerically investigated. The other vertical wall is considered ...

Abstract: Free abrasive machining (FAM) process associated with the wiresaw wafer slicing involves a three body abrasion environment. During the process, the cutting action is caused by fine abrasives ...

Abstract: Modeling of an event-based rainfall-runoff process has been of importance in hydrology. Historically, researchers have relied on conventional modeling techniques, either deterministic, which consider the physics of the ...

Abstract: This research work presents experimental and numerical findings of continuous rectangular spiral shear reinforcement of beam-column connections subjected to seismic type loading. A total of four exterior beam-column ...

Abstract: Crystalline and polycrystalline ingots of silicon and other materials need to be cut into thin wafers for microelectronics, photovoltaics, and many other applications. For slicing process to be ...

Abstract: he impact of global positioning system (GPS) radio occultation (RO) soundings on the prediction of severe mei-yu frontal rainfall near Taiwan in June 2012 was investigated in this study using a developed local bending angle ...

Abstract: Rig and engine test processes and in-flight operation and safety for modern gas turbine engines can be greatly improved with the development of accurate on-line measurement to gauge the aerodynamic ...
