Abstract: Thermomechanical analysis of global and local buckling is presented to show temperature effects on the stress/strain and shape of a film-on-substrate system. First, the strain is expressed as a ...

Abstract: This paper is presented to improve the modeling accuracy and the computational stability for a high-speed rotating flexible structure. The differential governing equations are derived based on ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new tool orientation optimization approach for multi-axis machining considering up to second order kinematical performance of the multi-axis machine. Different from the ...

Abstract: This paper presents algorithms for automated design of multishot molds for manufacturing multimaterial or multicolor objects, and focuses on molding planning that determines a sequence of mold ...

Abstract: This paper presents a unified framework for best-fitting of complex rigid surface to measured 3-D coordinate data by adjusting its location (position/orientation). For a point expressed in the ...

Abstract: The joint of the upper limb rehabilitation robot, which is designed and built in our lab, is driven by pneumatic muscles (PMs) in an opposing pair configuration. Each PM drives the robotic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a unified framework for computing a surface to approximate a target shape defined by discrete data points. A signed point-to-surface distance function is defined, and its ...
