Abstract: In this paper the design of a multi-finger force-reflecting haptic interface device for teleoperational grasping is introduced. The haptic interface or “master” controller device is worn on the ...

Abstract: The objectives of this work are to determine an accurate temperature feedback strategy and to develop a closed-loop feedback control system for temperature in friction stir welding (FSW). FSW ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation of the effects of friction stir weld tool travel angle and machine compliance on joint efficiency of butt welded 5083-H111 aluminum alloy in the presence ...
