Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Bipolar plates are one of the most important components of polymer membrane fuel cells. In this manuscript, the rubber pad forming of aluminum bipolar plates with Archimedes' screw-shaped channels and draft angle of 90 has been investigated. Hence, all possible combinations of the process parameters were determined and corresponding experimentations performed in order to investigate the effects of the rubber hardness, punch speed and the hydraulic press force. In this regard, three rubber pads including polyurethane, silicone and natural rubber were used. Channel depth and thinning percentage in the corner of the channel are measured and the effect of each parameter is analyzed. Based on the results, the maximum channel depth was achieved using a silicone pad with a hardness of 60 Shore A. Using a rubber pad with a very high and low hardness number, both, reduces the depth of channel. Furthermore, as the punch speed increases, the channel depth increases and the thinning percentage, as well.
