Abstract: Part count reduction (PCR) is one of the typical motivations for using additive manufacturing (AM) processes. However, the implications and trade-offs of employing AM for PCR are not well understood. The deficits are mainly ...

Abstract: It is widely acknowledged that the occurrence of seismic force and cracks will increase the active earth pressure acting on a retaining wall. In this work, a kinematic approach for the evaluation of seismic active earth ...

Abstract: Cracking is one of the major distresses impacting pavement quality, serviceability, and lifespan. Thus, accurate, precise, and complete cracking detection is important in the maintenance, performance evaluation, structure, ...

Abstract: Part consolidation (PC) is one of the typical design freedoms enabled by additive manufacturing (AM) processes. However, how to select potential candidates for PC is rarely discussed. This deficiency has hindered AM from ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) is recognized as a disruptive technology that offers significant potentials for innovative design. Prior experimental studies have revealed that novice designers provided with AM knowledge (AMK) ...

Abstract: Automatic pavement cracking detection is of great practical value for pavement maintenance, pavement performance evaluation and prediction, and material and structure design. However, detecting pavement cracks rapidly, ...

Abstract: The development of a hydrogen-air microcombustor is described. The combustor is intended for use in a 1 mm2 inlet area, micro-gas turbine engine. While the size of the device poses several ...

Abstract: A thermal model estimating workpiece temperature in orthogonal turnmilling compound machining for the case with noneccentricity between rotation axes of workpiece and tool has been established in this paper. Milling tool ...
