The analytical solutions for the displacements, stresses, temperature, diffusion concentration, and volume fraction field with different values of the magnetic field, the rotation, the gravity, and the initial stress are obtained and portrayed graphically. The results indicate that the effects of gravity, rotation, voids, diffusion, initial stress, and electromagnetic field are very pronounced on the physical properties of the material.展开更多

The temperature field and normal contact pressure distributions of the tool and the blank were studied with a finite element analysis model under the action of different blank holder force and frictional coefficient. A series of forming tests of the high strength steel were conducted to validate the finite element model. The characteristics of galling failure,the damaged surface of the product and the adhesive wear of the tool,were analyzed during the forming process. The results demonstrate that die corner is the region where temperature and normal contact pressure are high and galling failure initiates. The blank surface passing through the die corner usually has the galling problem. The blank holder force and the tool surface topography have strong effects on the galling behavior in sheet metal forming processes. The methodology using finite element analysis to predict galling failure behavior can be used to perform parametric and material studies on the galling failure.展开更多

The ullrastructural analysis was observed by transmission electron microscope(Zeiss EM 900). Results:In the current study we observed the intracellular effect following EP on Me-43 and HGF cells.At the conditions applied,we did not observe any significant damage of mitochondrial activity in both cell lines treated by EP.Conversely,we showed that EP in some conditions can stimulate cells to proliferation.Some changes induced by EP were only visible in electron microscopy.In fibroblast cells we observed significant changes in lower parameters of EP(230 and 1 000 V/cm).After applying higher electric field intensities(2 300 V/cm) we detected many vacuoles,myelin-like bodies and swallowed endoplasmic reticulum.In melanoma cells such strong pathological modifications after EP were not observed,in comparison with control cells. The ultrastructure of both treated cell lines was changed according to the applied parameters of EP.Conclusions:We can claim that EP conditions are cell line dependent.In terms of the intracellular morphology,human fibroblasts are more sensitive to electric field as compared with melanoma cells.Optimal conditions should be determined for each cell line.Summarizing our study,we can conclude that EP is not an invasive method for human normal and malignant cells. This technique can be safely applied in chemotherapy for delivering drugs into tumor cells.展开更多
