Submitted by shubhamkanungo… on

4th Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IICAI-09). IICAI-09 will be held during December 16-18 2009 in Tumkur (near Bangalore), India. IICAI is a series of high quality technical events in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and is also one of the major AI events in the world.

The effect of film thickness on the failure strain of polymersupported metal films

Submitted by Nanshu Lu on

We perform uniaxial tensile tests on polyimide-supported copper films with a strong (111) fiber texture and with thicknesses varying from 50 nm to 1 μm. Films with thicknesses below 200 nm fail by intergranular fracture at elongations of only a few percent. Thicker films rupture by ductile transgranular fracture and local debonding from the substrate. The failure strain for transgranular fracture exhibits a maximum for film thicknesses around 500 nm.

Disk vs blade natural frequencies

Submitted by cryogene on

I'm trying to determine the coorelation of a blade natural frequency and disk (nodal diameter) natural frequency on a Turbine wheel in ANSYS Modal analysis.  Is it possible for a blade natual frequency to be excited even though a disk natural frequency is not being excited??  I'm having trouble determining if a blade frequency is related to any disk nodal diameter.  Thanks for any incite on this subject.

Practical and graphical remarks about Moving Least Squares

Submitted by Alv on

I have had some time to write down an informal introduction to Moving Least Squares, from my coding perspective. It is supposed to be a condensation of experiences after some years of using it, although it does not contain any new theoretical aspect.
