Abstract: Cold-rolled sheet metal that is often used in laser forming exhibits anisotropic properties, which are mostly caused by preferred orientations of grains developed during the severe plastic ...

Abstract: An experimental program that investigated the seismic performance of concrete-filled square steel tube with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–confined concrete core (FCCC) column (SCFC) was conducted. Fourteen SCFC specimens ...

Abstract: The heat transfer performance of flat-plate oscillating heat pipes (FP-OHPs) was investigated experimentally and theoretically. Two layers of channels were created by machining grooves on both ...

Abstract: A fully mesoscopic, multiplerelaxationtime (MRT) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is developed to perform particleresolved direct numerical simulation (DNS) of wallbounded turbulent particleladen flows. The fluid–solid ...

Abstract: In this paper, we address the cooperative towing of payloads by multiple mobile robots that move in the plane. Robots are attached via cables to an object or a pallet carrying a payload, ...

Abstract: In laser forming, phase transformations in the heat affected zone take place under steep cooling rates and temperature gradients, and have a significant affect on the laser forming process and ...

Abstract: Some metallic pipelines suffer from corrosion issues due to internal and external environmental conditions. The pipeinpipe technology has been developed by inserting a new pipe (e.g., plastic pipe or flexible pipe) into ...

Abstract: Vibration suppression is of fundamental importance to the performance of industrial robot manipulators. Cost constraints, however, limit the design options of servo and sensing systems. The resulting low drive-train stiffness ...

Abstract: The mining fractures in overlying strata are the channel of gas migration, which is closely related to the occurrence of coal mine gas disaster accidents. In this paper, eight groups of discrete element three-dimensional ...

Abstract: Four laser scanning schemes for tube bending, including point-source circumferential scanning, pulsed line-source axial procession, and line-source axial scanning without and with water cooling are ...
