Abstract: Currently boundary representations (b-reps) are a convenient means to exchange solid models between applications (e.g., design, manufacturing, inspection) in a distributed/collaborative design ...

Abstract: Tensile tests and biphasic finite element modeling were used to determine a set of transversely isotropic properties for the meniscus, including the hydraulic permeability coefficients and solid ...

Abstract: This paper examines the problem of identifying the assembly configurations (ACs), also called circuits, of planar non-single-input-dyadic (NSID) mechanisms. An SID mechanism is a multi-loop mechanism ...

Abstract: To accommodate frequent changes in product design and to be able to process a family of products in a timely and cost-effective manner, the next generation of machine tools should be ...

Abstract: A novel macroscopic gas transport model, derived from fundamental engineering principles, is used to simulate the three-dimensional, unsteady respiration process within the alveolar region of the ...
