Abstract: Weld pool geometry is a crucial factor in determining welding quality, especially in the case of sheet welding. Its feedback control should be a fundamental requirement for automated welding. ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of the human head to side impact was studied by 2-dimensional finite element modeling. Three models were formulated in this study. Model I is an axisymmetric model. It ...

Abstract: The impact response of the human head has been determined by three-dimensional finite element modeling. This model represents the essential features of a 50th percentile human head. It includes ...

Abstract: In this work, a large-scale magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) bypass valve damper for seismic mitigation applications is designed, constructed, and tested. The damper utilizes a simple design, with a modular bypass MRF valve, ...
