Abstract: AbstractPrevious research revealed that if individuals personally experience an unusual weather event as a result of global warming (vs no personal experience), they may hold higher belief certainty that global warming is ...

Abstract: Based on observations made on the geometry of the cutting tools and the degrees of freedom in 3-, 4-, 5-axis numerical control machines, a new class of geometric algorithms is induced on the ...

Abstract: The visibility of a surface has wide applications in manufacturing, where accessibility of the workpiece to the processing agent is of critical importance. A surface is visible to a direction ...

Abstract: In our previous works, the piezoresistive sensors have been demonstrated to be accurate and efficient tools for stress measurements in microelectronic packaging. In this study, we first designed ...

Abstract: The effect of graphite (Gr) content on tribological performance of copper-matrix composites against H13 steel was investigated using a pin-on-disk test in the range of 3.14–47.1 m/s. The composites with different weight ...

Abstract: For some assembly structures, parallel disassembly of components is necessary in order to reach a particular internal component. Due to the large number of possible combinations, the parallel ...

Abstract: Sliding of contents during past earthquakes has caused injury, disruptions, and damage. As such, equations to predict the maximum sliding displacement of the contents are required to include its effect in building performance ...

Abstract: In light of the potential deviation in damage and failure modes of reinforced concrete components during a fire compared to their design expectations at room temperature, this study aims to comprehensively investigate the ...
