Abstract: The development of shear rupture in granular media due to boundary deformation was captured using the distinct element method (DEM). Assemblages of nonspherical, three-dimensional particles undergoing direct shear test ...

Abstract: Eucalyptus and Pine suspensions flow in a pipe was studied experimentally and numerically. Pressure drop was measured for different mean inlet flow velocities. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT), was used to evaluate ...

Abstract: This article presents a new assembling for 2 degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) parallel robots for executing rapid pick-and-place operations with low energy consumption. A conventional design of 2-DOF parallel robots is based on ...
