Abstract: This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on the creep behavior of glued laminated bamboo (glubam) and carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP)-enhanced glubam beams. Short-term mechanical tests were first ...

Abstract: Weld penetration sensing and control with a weld-face sensor are among the most relevant research issues in automated welding. Previous studies showed that the geometry of the weld pool contains ...

Abstract: Laser fabrication of cooling holes in certain parts of the aero-engine components involves percussion or trepan drilling at acute angles (e.g., 16–30 deg) to the surface. These parts are often ...

Abstract: The particular solutions of a two-dimensional infinite wedge for various boundary conditions with lnr weak singularity have been investigated in this paper. The relations of the weak singularities ...

Abstract: An exact Fourier series method is developed for the vibration analysis of multispan beam systems. In this method, the displacement on each beam is expressed as a Fourier series expansion plus ...

Abstract: A method employing ideas from applied artificial intelligence is proposed for use in design optimization. Knowledge of global information is incorporated in several rule types concerning constraint ...

Abstract: A z-axis anisotropic electrically conducting polymer-matrix composite film was developed. It comprised 25 volume percent copper coated polyether sulfone particles and a polyimidesiloxane matrix. ...

Abstract: Control of weld penetration is currently one of the most important and crucial research issues in the area of welding. The weld pool can provide accurate and instantaneous information about ...

Abstract: A model for the contact area and static friction of nominally flat rough surfaces and rough spherical surfaces is presented. The model extends previously published models, which are limited to ...
