Abstract: The explicit finite difference formulation of an inverse heat transfer model to calculate the heat flux generated by induction is developed. The experimentally measured temperature data are used ...

Abstract: Patent data have long been used for engineering design research because of its large and expanding size and widely varying massive amount of design information contained in patents. Recent advances in artificial intelligence ...

Abstract: This paper describes chip morphology and forces in end milling of elastomers. A classification system that identifies elastomer chips based on their size and morphology is described. Optical ...

Abstract: With the rapid increase of vehicle ownership in China, toll collection stations on expressways have become some of the most congested areas. Compared with a manual toll collection system (MTC), the electronic toll collection ...

Abstract: The nonlinear energy sink (NES) is a fully passive attachment used to rapidly dissipate a significant portion of energy induced in a linear primary structure to which it is attached. In this study, the performance of a ...
