Singular And General Causal Relations: A Mechanist Perspective, Stuart Glennan Jan 2011

Singular And General Causal Relations: A Mechanist Perspective, Stuart Glennan

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

My aim in this paper is to make a case for the singularist view from the perspective of a mechanical theory of causation (Glennan 1996, 1997, 2010, forthcoming), and to explain what, from this perspective, causal generalizations mean, and what role they play within the mechanical theory.


Mechanics Of Cold Rolling Of Thin Strip, Zhengyi Jiang Jan 2011

Mechanics Of Cold Rolling Of Thin Strip, Zhengyi Jiang

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Cold rolled thin strip has a wide application in electronic and instrument industries, and its production has always been of major interest to the manufacturers and researchers in the area of metal plasticity. Thin strip rolling involves significant metal plasticity to produce a desired product. Iwamoto (2004), Stoughton & Yoon (2004) and Hub et al. (2004) were interested in dealing with the plastic defonnation and plastic yielding of steel, and its micromechanics. With the need for higher quality and productivity in cold strip mill, mathematical models of cold rolling of a strip with a desired shape and dimension, both for …
