Abstract: The 5-axis layered manufacturing technology facilitates fabrication of a part with overhanging features without the use of supports, thereby making a direct-to-use part from the layered manufacturing ...

Abstract: Despite enormous progress in laser aided direct metal/material deposition (LADMD) process many issues concerning the adverse effects of process parameters on the stability of a variety of properties ...

Abstract: This paper presents a geometric approach for solving the force distribution problem in active wheeled vehicles (AWVs) moving on uneven surfaces. Here an active vehicle is defined as a system ...

Abstract: It has been shown in previous work that when two wheels independently joined by a fixed-length axle are placed on an uneven surface, such that the line joining the wheel contact points is ...

Abstract: A mapping which transforms the relative displacements of one object with respect to a reference object into image points has been developed by interpreting the relative displacement in terms ...
