Friction Stir Processing: thermo-mechanical loads and consequent effects on the local material characteristics
2008
The present article is focused on the correlation between the applied thermal and mechanical loads and the consequent effects on the material in friction stir processing (FSP) operations. On one hand, the actions exerted in FSP are split compared to the results obtained with a tool without the pin at its end to a traditional one with a cylindrical pin. In this way, the thermal flux determined by the frictional forces at the tool—shoulder—workpiece interface is secluded from the mechanical stirring action made by the tool pin. On the other hand, the processed specimens are analysed in terms of residual stress state, microhardness, and average grain size values. An in-process heat treatment …
Preliminary experience with a transcranial magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery system integrated with a 1.5-T MRI unit in a series o…

OBJECTIVETranscranial magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound surgery (tcMRgFUS) is one of the emerging noninvasive technologies for the treatment of neurological disorders such as essential tremor (ET), idiopathic asymmetrical tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease (PD), and neuropathic pain. In this clinical series the authors present the preliminary results achieved with the world’s first tcMRgFUS system integrated with a 1.5-T MRI unit.METHODSThe authors describe the results of tcMRgFUS in a sample of patients with ET and with PD who underwent the procedure during the period from January 2015 to September 2017. A monolateral ventralis intermedius nucleus (VIM) thalamic ablation was pe…
