FORGING PROCESS

Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. The blows are delivered with a hammer (often a power hammer) or a die. Forging is often classified according to the temperature at which it is performed: cold forging (a type of cold working), warm forging, or hot forging (a type of hot working).

Biomechanics: principles and applications

Biomechanics is a comprehensive presentation of the current principles and applications of biomechanics integrating both systems and subsystems models.

CIM THEORIES

An immediate issue is the proper cost/benefit analysis. Since CIM represents an innovation, traditional economic analysis is not appropriate. Another problem are is to convince departments used to operating independently that computer integration is going to benefit them.

CONTROLLING

Process of gathering and feeding back information about performance so that decision makers can compare actual results with planned results and decide what to do about any apparent discrepancies or problems.

FINS : heat transfer

in the study of heat transfer, fins are surfaces that extend from an object to increase the rate of heat transfer to or from the environment by increasing convection.

jigs and fixtures

A fixture is a work-holding or support device used in the manufacturing industry. Fixtures are used to securely locate and support the work, ensuring that all parts produced using the fixture will maintain conformity and interchangeability.

lubrication and bearing

Lubrication provides a thin film between the contact areas in a bearing to reduce friction, dissipate heat and inhibit corrosion on balls and raceways. The lubricant will affect maximum running speed and temperature, torque level, noise level and, ultimately, bearing life.

metal forming : classification

Typically, metal forming processes can be classified into two broad groups. One is bulk forming and the other is sheet metal forming. Bulk deformation refers to the use of raw materials for forming which have low surface area to volume ratio. Rolling, forging, extrusion and drawing are bulk forming processes.

metal forging

Forging is often classified according to the temperature at which it is performed: cold forging (a type of cold working), warm forging, or hot forging (a type of hot working). For the latter two, the metal is heated, usually in a forge.

interpolation models

Interpolation Methods. Interpolation is the process of using points with known values or sample points to estimate values at other unknown points. It can be used to predict unknown values for any geographic point data, such as elevation, rainfall, chemical concentrations, noise levels, and so on.

HEAT TRANSFER

Fins are most commonly used in heat exchanging devices such as radiators in cars, computer CPU heatsinks, and heat exchangers in power plants. They are also used in newer technology such as hydrogen fuel cells. Nature has also taken advantage of the phenomena of fins.
