Abstract: The present investigation considers the prediction of the design hour volume from users' perspective. [The design hour volume concept from users' perspective was introduced in an earlier paper (Sharma 1986), which concluded ...

Abstract: During the last two decades, many attempts have been made to develop computational models to represent the behavior of particulate solids in silos. Two methods have been used most commonly: the finite element method and ...

Abstract: Two main computational methods have been used in recent years to model the behavior of particulate solids in silos. These are the finite element method and the discrete element method. To assess the current state of the ...

Abstract: The nonprotective tribolayers of the titanium alloy were modified into additives-containing tribolayers through an artificial addition of multilayer graphene (MLG), Fe2O3 nanomaterials, or their mixtures with various ...

Abstract: A parallel kinematic machine (PKM) topology can only give its best performance when its geometrical parameters are optimized. In this paper, dimensional synthesis of a newly developed PKM is presented for the first time. ...

Abstract: An Exechon robot with offsets between the axes of the joints that connect the legs to the fixed platform is analyzed for the first time. Ideally these axes intersect constituting two universal and one spherical joints. The ...
