Abstract: Despite significant performance advantages, the intractable forward kinematics have always restricted the application of parallel manipulators to small posture spaces. Traditional analytical methods and Newton–Raphson ...

Abstract: Distinct from the conventional manufacturing paradigm, the functioning of the Social Manufacturing (SocialM) model relies on a vast and dispersed array of social manufacturing resources. SocialM communities/groups emerge ...

Abstract: An interlocking L-shaped caisson (ILC) quay wall was proposed to improve the integrity of the caisson units by modifying the cross-sectional of the conventional L-shaped caisson (CLC) with two walls at its edge, shaped ...

Abstract: Oil shale in-situ retorting is a reasonable development technology. However, the ground water may flow into fractures in oil shale layer that impact the process of oil shale in-situ retorting. This paper introduced oil ...

Abstract: he discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods designed for hyperbolic problems arising from a wide range of applications are known to enjoy many computational advantages. DG methods coupled with strong-stability-preserving explicit ...

Abstract: Hydraulic fracturing is an indispensable procedure to the economic development of shale gas. The flowback of the hydraulic fracturing fluid is one of the most important parameters recorded after shale gas wells are put ...

Abstract: The application of a Gleason Coniflex cutter (plane-cutter) to a modern Phoenix bevel gear machine tool in face gear manufacturing has an advantage of involving a universal cutter or grinder and an available existing ...
