Graduate Institute Of Ferrous Technology
The Graduate Institute of Ferrous Technology (GIFT POSTECH) is an institute for graduate-level education and research in the field of iron and steel technology at Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea. It has nine specialized laboratories covering all sides of metallurgy. However, the Institute now has a reduced focus on steels, having introduced laboratories on battery electronics. History POSCO, one of the world's biggest steel production companies, in 1986, initiated a founding of a science and technology university in the city of Pohang, about 200 miles southeast of Seoul, the capital city of Korea. Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) has now become one of the top research universities in Asia. GIFT was founded to provide an academic environment for education and research on ferrous materials. Structure The Graduate Institute of Ferrous Technology has nine laboratories with key areas of expertise: Alternative Technology Lab **Contin ...

Pohang University Of Science And Technology
Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH, ) is a private research university in Pohang, South Korea. History Pohang University of Science and Technology was established on December 3, 1986, by POSCO, a South Korean steel company, with Founding Chairman Tae-joon Park and the university’s first president, Hogil Kim. The university was founded as a research-focused institution and also hosted POSCO’s Research Institute of Science and Technology (RIST) on campus. In 1994, POSTECH established the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL), a third-generation synchrotron light source, which later became a national research facility. In 2016, the university completed construction of the PAL-XFEL (X-ray Free Electron Laser), a fourth-generation light source, at a cost of approximately USD 390 million. PAL-XFEL was the third facility of its kind in the world at the time of completion, intended to support research in various fields including life sciences, materials science, ch ...

Grenoble Institute Of Technology
The Grenoble Institute of Technology (Grenoble INP) (''Institut polytechnique de Grenoble'' , ''Groupe Grenoble INP'' and before INPG) is a French technological university system consisting of eight engineering and management schools. Grenoble INP also has a two-year preparatory class program, an adult education department, as well as 21 laboratories and a graduate school in Engineering Sciences. More than 1,100 engineers graduate every year from Grenoble INP, making it France's biggest ''grande école''. Most of Grenoble INP is located in Grenoble, except for the ESISAR which is located in Valence. History Grenoble INP was born in the Alpine environment. It was officially founded in 1900 with the creation of the Electrical Engineering Institute. Industrial pioneers of a century ago found that after mastering hydraulic power and creating the initial industrial applications, they had also created a need for well-trained engineers. The first of its type in France, Grenoble INP ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alcoa
Alcoa Corporation (an acronym for "Aluminum Company of America") is an American industrial corporation. It is the world's eighth-largest producer of aluminum. Alcoa conducts operations in 10 countries. Alcoa is a major producer of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum, and alumina combined, through its active and growing participation in all major aspects of the industry: technology, mining, refining, smelting, fabricating, and recycling. Alcoa emerged in 1888 as the brainchild of Charles Martin Hall, with the funding of Alfred E. Hunt and Arthur Vining Davis. Alcoa was the first mass producer of aluminum. Before Alcoa's formation, aluminum was difficult to refine and, as a result, was more expensive than silver or gold. In 1886, Hall discovered the Hall–Héroult process, the first inexpensive technique for refining aluminum, drastically reducing the price of aluminum while increasing its availability. Hall approached Hunt and Davis to form a company to bring his process to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Romanian Academy
The Romanian Academy ( ) is a cultural forum founded in Bucharest, Romania, in 1866. It covers the scientific, artistic and literary domains. The academy has 181 active members who are elected for life. According to its bylaws, the academy's main goals are the cultivation of Romanian language and Romanian literature, the study of the national history of Romania and research into major scientific domains. Some of the academy's fundamental projects are the Romanian language dictionary ('' Dicționarul explicativ al limbii române''), the dictionary of Romanian literature, and the treatise on the history of the Romanian people. History On the initiative of C. A. Rosetti, the Academy was founded on April 1, 1866, as ''Societatea Literară Română''. The founding members were illustrious members of the Romanian society of the age. The name changed to ''Societatea Academică Romînă'' in 1867, and finally to ''Academia Română'' in 1879, during the reign of Carol I. The foun ...

Yield Surface
A yield surface is a five-dimensional surface in the six-dimensional space of Stress (mechanics), stresses. The yield surface is usually convex polytope, convex and the state of stress of ''inside'' the yield surface is elastic. When the stress state lies on the surface the material is said to have reached its Yield (engineering), yield point and the material is said to have become Plasticity (physics), plastic. Further deformation of the material causes the stress state to remain on the yield surface, even though the shape and size of the surface may change as the plastic deformation evolves. This is because stress states that lie outside the yield surface are non-permissible in plasticity (physics), rate-independent plasticity, though not in some models of viscoplasticity.Simo, J. C. and Hughes, T,. J. R., (1998), Computational Inelasticity, Springer. The yield surface is usually expressed in terms of (and visualized in) a three-dimensional Stress (physics)#Principal stresses ...
