Thermal Interaction Analysis Between Flexible Magnetic Abrasive Brush and Aluminium Alloy During Single-Pole MAF
Abstract: Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF) is a precision surface‐finishing approach that employs magnetic abrasive particles (MAPs) within a managed magnetic field to eliminate micro-level material and enhance surface condition. In the finishing process, the friction created between the workpiece and the flexible magnetic abrasive brush (FMAB) leads to heat accumulation, which may badly affect the surface integrity. This study focuses on investigating the temperature distribution at the FMAB–workpiece interface to decrease …

Comparative Analysis of Vertical Geometric Irregular Buildings by Fragility Curve Using Pushover Analysis
Abstract: The present work deals with the analysis of vertical geometric irregular structures, such as step buildings and setback buildings, which exhibit stiffness irregularity at different locations. These structures are analyzed using pushover analysis, a nonlinear static analysis method that provides insight into the performance of buildings under seismic loading by incrementally applying lateral forces until a target displacement is reached or the structure collapses. Stiffness irregularities in buildings can significantly …
