Abstract: By investigating the transverse vibrations of an axially moving string with time-varying supports, the existence and the pattern of static nodes are studied based on the assumed mode method and the linear superposition ...

Abstract: This paper develops a tool path optimization method for robotic surface machining by sampling-based motion planning algorithms. In the surface machining process, the tool-tip position needs to strictly follow the tool path ...

Abstract: Cutting tool rotation errors have significant influence on the machined surface quality, especially in micromilling. Precision metrology instruments are usually needed to measure the rotation error accurately. However, it ...

Abstract: In this study, weldability of ultrasonic welding of 4-mm-thick fiber carbon/nylon 66 composite in lap configuration was investigated. Ultrasonic welding tests were performed, and the weld appearance, microstructure, and ...
