    Experimental analysis and modeling of orthogonal cutting using material and friction models

    Full text link
    In this study, a process model for orthogonal cutting processes is proposed. The model involves the primary and secondary deformation zones. The primary shear zone is modeled by a Johnson-Cook constitutive relationship and a shear plane having constant thickness. The secondary deformation zone is modeled semi-analytically, where the coefficient of friction is calibrated experimentally. The cutting forces predicted using the calibrated sliding friction coefficients are in good agreement with the measurements. The experimental investigation of sliding friction coefficients also show promising results for the proposed model, which is still under development

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Experimental investigation of non-isothermal deep drawing of DP600 steel

    To increase the limiting drawing ratio (LDR) in deep drawing, experiments are conducted on DP600, IF, and HSLA steels. The flange region of blank is heated up to temperatures in the warm range by inductance heating. During heating, the central portion of blank is cooled by water to prevent the reduction of the strength of the material in the central region. The temperature increase of flange region is observed by two infrared sensors focusing on two different points, one on the blank rim and the other near the die radius. An intensive cooling by cold water is applied to the bottom side of a blank during deep drawing. Increases up to 25.58% on LDR are obtained. There is no significant change in the microstructure of the material due to warm forming. Material characterization is obtained by a Gleeble 3800 thermo-mechanical testing machine for the temperature range 150-300 degrees C
