Deformation Behaviour of the Billet and Tooling Design on AA5083 through Equal Channel Angular Pressing With Effect of Back Pressure
Abstract: Equal channel angular pressing is an emerging method applied to subject materials to significant plastic strains while maintaining the original shape of the billet. Researchers have discovered that the level of strain attained through equal channel angular pressing is influenced by factors such as the angle of die, friction conditions, and the implementation of back pressure. These variables significantly impact the microstructure and the irregularity of strain within the billet …

Mathematical Model to Monitor the Transport of Bordetella Influenced by Heterogeneous Porosity in Homogeneous Gravel Depositions
Abstract: The study monitors the transport process of Bordetella in grave depositions. The study expresses the rates of depositions under fluctuation of micronutrients in the litho structures where predominant grave formation was observed. Such conditions explain the simulation values as they predominantly fluctuate with heterogeneous concentrations in deltaic formation. The study has explained the heterogeneity of deposited porosity and observed that it could not pressurize the behaviour of Bordetella transport in …
