Abstract: Integration of the microcomputer into acoustic emission instrumentation has brought AE monitoring of fatigue tests into the realm of practicality. On-line processing makes available a selection ...

Abstract: The major advantage of using selective assembly in manufacturing is that it allows the use of low precision parts to achieve high precision assembly. However, two problems arise: (a) the surplus ...

Abstract: Sensor fusion often uses multiple sensors to evaluate a single quantity. The work presented in this paper attempts to use information from a single sensor to estimate overall machining performance ...

Abstract: This paper presents details of developing a computer animation system for chip formation in oblique machining process. The 3-D chip animation model developed integrates chip flow equation, chip ...

Abstract: Hydraulic pumps and motors are widely used in mobile equipment for construction, mining and agriculture. The piston-slipper component is one of the critical parts of a hydraulic pump. A crimping ...

Abstract: Bioleaching of heavy metals from sewage sludge has been shown to be a promising technique for sludge decontamination in such a complex matrix. The effect of two types of substrates (

Abstract: Runoff simulation and prediction in watersheds is an important and essential step in water management systems, safety yield computations, environmental disposal, design of flood control structures, and so on. In this study, ...

Abstract: Elastic fibers are present in low quantities in tendon, where they are located both within fascicles near tenocytes and more broadly in the interfascicular matrix (IFM). While elastic fibers have long been known to be ...
