Abstract: Thin-walled tube bending has found many of its applications in the automobile and aerospace industries. This paper presents an energy approach to provide the minimum bending radius, which does ...

Abstract: A numerical simulation method was used in this study to explore the effects of equivalence ratio, intake air temperature, intake air pressure, compression ratio, and engine speed on the combustion and performance characteristics ...

Abstract: Flanging is a commonly used sheet forming operation to increase the stiffness of a sheet panel and/or to create the mating surface for subsequent assemblies. This paper presents an energy ...

Abstract: A wedge strip test is designed to study the onset and post-buckling behavior of a sheet under various boundary constraints. The device can be easily incorporated into a conventional tensile ...

Abstract: Macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD)-based perimeter control has a potential to improve traffic throughput and relieve the overall congestion. In practice, not only the MFD but also the traffic demand suffers from a variety ...

Abstract: The fracture behavior of pipes with penetrating cracks was experimentally investigated with the results of the load-deflection curves and crack length. J-R curves were obtained from the testing ...

Abstract: AbstractHigh-accuracy continuous ship-based cavity ring-down spectroscopy was used to simultaneously measure the mixing ratios of the carbon dioxide and methane in the China Sea shelf boundary layer for the first time, ...

Abstract: Human cognition plays a critical role in construction work, particularly in the context of high-level task planning and in-field improvisation. On the other hand, robots are adept at performing numerical computation and ...
