Abstract: Surface manufacturing is a process of adding material to or removing material from the surfaces of a part. Spray painting, spray forming, rapid tooling, spray coating, and polishing are some ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the robot path planning problem in our effort to develop a fully automated dimensional measurement system using an eye-in-hand robotic manipulator. First, the CAD-based vision ...

Abstract: Direct Surface Manipulation (DSM) allows a designer to add a raised or indented feature to an existing surface. The user bounds the feature with a closed curve, and defines an influence center ...

Abstract: From the perspective of the mechanical mechanism of slope failure, cohesion c usually plays a different role with friction φ in sliding resistance, which indicates the distinct weights of their reduction factors Fsc and ...

Abstract: A unique local tsunami had a very large impact on the coastal stations near Dålk Glacier; this kind of tsunami is related to iceberg activity. To provide a reference for tsunami warning and disaster prevention at these ...

Abstract: Rainfall–runoff simulation is the basis of basin flood forecasting and water resource planning. However, karst basins are highly nonhomogeneous. With the intermittent uplift of the Earth’s crust, karst landscapes with large ...
