This document summarizes explosive forming, a manufacturing technique that uses controlled explosions to deform metal parts. It describes how explosives are either detonated directly on the metal or underwater with the metal placed nearby. The process can form parts from a few inches to 15 feet. Different types of explosives are used, with high explosives like dynamite and TNT producing high pressures over short times to form the metal. The document outlines the direct contact and stand-off methods, energy transfer phenomena, advantages of lower costs and more versatile shapes compared to conventional forming, and disadvantages of special expertise and safety concerns.
Explosive Forming is a manufacturing technique that uses explosions to force metal into dies and molds.
The explosives are typically either detonated underwater or in direct contact with the materials.
The technique is useful for short production runs of conventionally difficult-to-manufacture parts.
In Explosive Forming a punch or diaphragm in conventional forming is replaced by an explosive charge.
Chemical energy from the explosives is used to generate shockwaves through a medium (mostly water), which are directed to deform the workpiece at very high velocities.

Today, in the industry of aluminum, the D. C. casting of billets and slabs is playing the major role. The producers of these slabs and billets are many. The end users of the product are OEMs. The degassing technology for producing these aluminum slabs and billets is provided by very few. There are two types of degassing methods currently in use. One of these, vacuum degassing, is used primarily in the steel industry and thus not generally used in the aluminum industry. The second method, generally employed in the aluminum industry, is rotary degassing, which uses finely dispersed argon, chlorine, fluorine to remove dissolved hydrogen and various salts from melt. The challenges associated with producing aluminum are reducing porosity due to hydrogen precipitation during casting through degassing processes; which generates detrimental effects on mechanical properties of alloy castings and removing impurities like; the Ca, Mg salts etc. from the molten metal. Looking at the degassing systems provided by these players, are going to be obsolete as the environment norms will become stricter in the next decade, because of the use of Fluorine and Chlorine for removing the Ca, Mg, etc. impurities from the molten metal as the ozone layer is getting depleted and process becomes more cumbersome and hazardous. So, the innovation in the technology is needed; which leads research interest on development of the ultrasonic degassing as a better option. During this research authors would be using ultrasonic technology over existing technology to compare the results of conventional degasser units available in the market such as LARSTM, SNIFTM, STASTM - ACDTM, AlpurTM, MDUTM etc., and would be finding out the better operating parameters of ultrasonic equipment for the process for replacement of Fluorine and Chlorine based old technology with Ultrasonic Technology. This research paper should underpin improvement in the process and hence improved hardness of material by elimination of the fluorine and chlorine usage by replacing it with ultrasonic technology with suitable mechanical design, metallurgical criteria and thermal analysis consideration. During the entire research and development authors had carried out various operations like Research on thermal and metallurgical behavior of the molten metal and alloys, Comparison of results achieved using ultrasonic technique over existing technique, Formulation of conclusion; making ultrasonic technique a proven technology, and Identifying the further scope of research and development. With the experiments carried out, authors found significant improvement in hardness of the material produced by ultrasonic degassing as compared with the hardness of material produced by conventional degassing.

A Review Study on Methods of Tunneling in Hard Rocksijsrd.com
This article presents a review on the different methodologies that are used for tunnels excavations in hard rocks in present era. Growing needs for modern transportation and utility networks have increased the demand for a more extensive and elaborate use of underground space or through high mountains / hills. As a result, more projects have to be completed in various ground conditions and one of which is more challenging is to carry out excavation work in hard rocks. Significant technological advances have rendered these projects possible, but have also given rise to new challenges as many of these projects have to be completed in difficult conditions, with very strict environmental constraints, particularly in urban areas where the potential impact of tunneling on existing structures is a major concern. This paper addresses the main aspects of tunneling and underground works performed in hard rocks. A summary is presented of the more recent advances and widely adopted techniques in these regards.

Pendulum Dampers for Tall RC Chimney Subjected To WindIJERA Editor
Chimneys are a part of industrial growth in any country. Most current chimney design standards require analysis of dynamic analysis of chimney for earthquake and wind induced loads. Because of variation in dimensions of chimney along its height structural analysis such as wind oscillations have become more critical. If ductility is an important consideration in earthquake resistant design, control of deflection become critical in wind induced vibrations. Pendulum dampers are of the devices to control the deflection. In the present work pendulum dampers of different natural frequencies have been tried. The one which has the largest equivalent logarithmic decrement is found to reduce the response significantly. The response is compared with that of chimney with a tip mass. The paper discusses the dynamic analysis of 150m high RCC chimney subjected to wind. Analysis has been carried out for fixed base case.

Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
3. Introduction
Explosive Forming is a manufacturing technique that uses explosions
to force metal into dies and molds.
The explosives are typically either detonated underwater or in
direct contact with the materials.
The technique is useful for short production runs of conventionally
difficult-to-manufacture parts.
Explosive forming can be used for forming parts on the scale of a
few inches to up to 15 feet.
For over 100 years it has been recognized that explosives can be
used in deforming metals. It was reported that the first application
of explosives to metalworking was undertaken by Daniel Adamson of
Manchester in the United Kingdom in 1878.
6. Explosives Used
An explosive can be described as a substance or device that can
produce a sudden high pressure burst of gas. It may be classified as-
LOW EXPLOSIVES such as gunpowder or cordite are mostly used as
propellants in guns or rockets and develop pressures of 0.28 GN/m2
sustained over relatively long periods. Low explosives have not found
much use in explosive forming.
HIGH EXPLOSIVES High explosives are of two types, Primary and
Secondary. Primaries are more sensitive thus used as detonators and the
Secondary's are used as main explosives.
Explosive metalworking exclusively employs secondary explosives such as
Dynamite, PETN, TNT and RDX. These tend to produce a relatively short
pulse in the high pressure range of 13.8–27.6 GN/m2.
7. The Process Set-Up
Generally there are two types of
Explosive Forming:
1. Direct Contact Method –
Explosive is applied directly
on the metal to be formed.
2 . Stand-Off Method- The
explosive and metal work is
kept at a distance but in a
liquid media.
8. 1.Direct Contact Method
In this method the
explosive is directly
applied on the plate to be
formed.
With the help of
detonator the explosion is
performed.
Because of explosion a high amount of force is applied on the plate,
the plate gets deformed into desired shape within very small time.
9. 2 . Stand-Off Method-
The explosive is kept at some distance from the metal workpiece
to be formed but distance or gap is filled with a liquid media.
The detonation results high forces and velocity, the media
transfers the forces from explosive to the workpiece and the
workpiece gets deformed into desired shape.

forming die

11. Energy Transfer Phenomenon
Approximate methods are available for estimating the total energy
delivered to a blank, the three common methods are:
1. The geometrical method
2. The energy method
3. The impulse method
Peak pressure P generated where the transfer medium is water, can
be given by the expression-
Where: k=constant dependent upon explosive(21600 for TNT)
w=weight of explosive in pounds
R= standoff distance in feet
a= constant, generally taken as 1.15
12. Conclusion
However from the information presented it appears that explosive
forming is versatile requiring low capital invest-ment and has great
application potential. The ability to vary the distribution, intensity
and of the forming pressure and energy levels over wide ranges
provides greater capabilities than conventional forming methods.
Another advantage that is common to all high energy rate forming
processes is the increased ductility that may be obtained at certain
deforma-tion velocities. The process does have disadvantages includ-
ing the requirement of specialist process knowledge and the need to
handle explosives. It is thought that explosive forming has potential
for the MMFSC project and future aerospace applications, and it is
hoped that this will be confirmed by the results from the trials.
