Adhesive wear on stamping tools can degrade the product quality and can affect the mass production.
Despite the uncontrollable factors of the stamping process – such as surface variation on the die surface or on the sheets, variation in lubrication and friction conditions and possible variation in sheet material properties – the AE time domain features were able to indicate the occurence of severe wear and surface damage on the stamped parts for the both the test conditions.

Considering high levels of visual impairment that greatly affect the quality of life, an estimated 40 to 45 million people are blind and 135 million have a low vision [2].
This is a very worrying factor that exposes the fragility of the solutions created when using a system, which most visually impaired people cannot interpret.
Creativity and design activities can be affected by several practical factors, such as consumer, presentation, product, trend forecasting, cost, technology, research, planning, designing and finally selling [42].
Filafresh®, now converted into 4D® product, is a flexible 3D filament based on TPU 96A with excellent physical and mechanical properties, developed with natural additives with personalized aromas, associated with the respective colours promoting synesthesia.
The difference in the chosen odour intensities was also a factor in the balance of odours so that the impact of changing intensities on the samples could be perceived.

The angle g is auxiliary and does not affect the shape of the curve in any way, however, to increase the robot’s reach, a gradual increase in the angle of the grip rotation and the extension of the hand with the end tool as far from the base as possible is used
The designed precast multi-functional concrete mixture is characterized by good workability and rapid evolution of mechanical properties as well as satisfactory long-term stability of hardened composite.

Those results show that: (1) the mechanical characteristics of low-strength concrete is complex; (2) strength of the low-strength concrete comes from interlocking of large-size crushed stones and bond of cement particle; (3) water content has significant effect (more than 30 percent) on velocity of longitudinal wave of the low-strength concrete and has little effect on strength; while effect of porosity of concrete on strength are more than 30 percent; (4) strength of low-strength concrete are controlled by both the content of crust stones and content of cement and a relationship of strength and velocity of longitudinal wave is proposed.
Low-strength concrete is a new material for filling the big caves [3], in this paper: mechanical properties and wave propagation of low-strength concrete are studied.
The reason is that the samples have large of porous, the strength of crushed stone concrete come from two parts :interlocking among the large size crushed stones and force of cementation of small size material, the main factor to affect the strength of low-strength concrete are cemented material, cemented degree and ratio of porous. 2200 2700 3200 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 content water(%) velocity (m/s) Fig. 6 Relationship of water content and velocity of longitudinal wave If the crushed stones are sufficiently cemented, the percent of large size crushed stones increase, the strength of concrete improve, wave propagates quickly; Increasing content of small size material ,strength drop, velocity becomes slow.

The research effort described here is concerned with developing a maneuvering propulsor for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV's) based on the mechanical design and performance of sunfish pectoral fin.
Second the mechanical properties of the fin rays and membrane that comprise the propulsive surface have been measured.
Scaling Effects on Fin Performance For a fixed fin gait, two non-dimensional parameters that can potentially affect the performance of the fin are the Reynolds number (Re /SU L ν ∞ ∞= ) and Strouhal number (St /SL f U∞= ).
This means that when the size of the fin (length scale) is reduced by a factor of two Reynolds number comes down by a factor of four.
Summary By studying the steady swimming of sunfish and appropriately barrowing the crucial features of its mechanical design and motion, we have developed a bio-robotic fin propulsor with characteristics that are advantageous for propelling and maneuvering AUVs.

The properties of the PRMMCs rely on the size, volume fraction, and distribution of the reinforcements.
The high mechanical properties of the material can be expected when distributing fine and thermodynalically stable ceramic particles homogenously in the matrix.
But the crystal structure and microstructure of the product were not affected by carbon sources(activated charcoal, graphite and carbon black).However, due to the high combustion temperature and extremely fast velocity during this reaction process, the mechanisms associating to the in situ formation of ceramic reinforcements in some reaction systems are still not well understood.
In this case, the kinetic factors played an important role in determining the reaction sequence and only these phases which are kinetically favorable will form priorly.

These include not just seismic and dynamic impacts, but also rheological phenomena and the action of destructive external factors.
The application of these techniques significantly affects the visual appearance of the structure, which is something that may be unacceptable in buildings of great historical value.
Due to differences in the mechanical properties of the components of compressed masonry pillars, the more plastic mortar is compressed triaxially, whereas the more rigid masonry elements are compressed uniaxially (in the direction of loading) and tensioned biaxially (in the plane perpendicular to the loading).

The diffusion length, related to the material recombination properties, increases after the emitter diffusion process and increases after the subsequent process steps.
The comparison between the characteristics of the starting material and the properties of the final devices allowed us to understand the role of the gettering phenomena occurred during the processing steps and their efficiency in impurity removal.
The contacts were dried and sintered in a fast fire belt furnace and the edges were isolated by mechanical sawing.
In particular mc Si (EFG and cast) strongly improves after P- diffusion (as predicted by PDG mechanism, [13]), while mono Cz Si is almost not affected by the P diffusion, at least for the diffusion temperature here analysed [14].
The correlation between the diffusion lengths measured on solar cells and solar cell efficiency together with the study of the evolution of the diffusion length with the processing steps showed the way for a better understanding of factors which limit the real solar cell efficiency.

Introduction Yield is one of the prominent factors deciding the foundry’s economy.
Directional and progressive solidification [3] Austenite precipitation and graphite precipitation were two important factors that decide the solidification behaviour of the cast iron.
Effect of pouring temperature on graphite precipitation The pouring temperature is one of the primary factors that decides the time of graphite precipitation.
The shrinkage formation can also be affected several factors such as the type of metal being cast and the design of the casting mold.
