Abstract: This paper reports the results of theoretical and experimental work leading to the construction of a dedicated finite element method (FEM) system allowing the computer simulation of physical ...

Abstract: This article describes the cracking of a hydraulic cylinder pipe made of 32HA steel with an Ar-shielded gas tungsten arc–welded (GTAW) protective housing. Grade 32HA is a Polish grade of steel that contains approximately ...

Abstract: The subject of the presented paper is the modeling of strain-stress relationship, which is the main mechanical property characteristic of the behavior of steel subjected to plastic deformation. ...

Abstract: The concept of an expert system for decision support in the application of robotics to the performance of construction tasks is presented. The available decision‐support tools are summarized in light of their usefulness ...

Abstract: This article describes the cracking of a hydraulic cylinder pipe made of 32HA steel with an Ar-shielded gas tungsten arc–welded (GTAW) protective housing. Grade 32HA is a Polish grade of steel that contains approximately ...

Abstract: With rising road construction and maintenance costs and the lack of productivity improvement, automated road construction and maintenance equipment will provide an attractive alternative for the execution of routine work ...

Abstract: Construction‐engineering problems in the application of automation to soft‐ground tunneling, especially shield tunneling, are discussed. A concept for decision support in the selection of a type of shield‐tunneling machine ...

Abstract: The robotization of on‐site surface finishing work, particularly sandblasting, is considered. A possible system design is presented with a cost estimate. Costs and benefits of applying the proposed robot system to on‐site ...

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the cost surcharges of green buildings. In this study, the green construction cost surcharge (GCCS) is defined as the additional capital costs associated with sustainable building features ...

Abstract: Positron lifetime and electron backscatter diffraction studies were performed on pure vanadium samples subjected to the sliding test. The changes in the microstructure produced in this test are extending even to a depth ...
