Abstract: A series of experiments on the physical and mechanical properties of ethanol model ice were conducted to determine the basis for quality control of fine grain model ice. The measured physical parameters of the model ice ...

Abstract: In this study, the flexural properties of large columnar-grained freshwater ice in the temperature range of

Abstract: Tolerance allocation is the process of determining allowable dimensional variations in products (parts and subassemblies) and processes (fixtures and tools) in order to meet final assembly quality ...

Abstract: In this study, the flexural properties of large columnar-grained freshwater ice in the temperature range of −0.5 to −10.0°C and strain rates of 4.6×10−7  s−1 to 1.7×10−3  s−1 were reviewed, which is of engineering interest. ...

Abstract: The effects of cement content and curing period on a new synthetic model ice, DUT-1, are reported. The cement (450#) contents were 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15% and 16% by dry weight of ...

Abstract: Picking and placing configurations (PPCs) are critical for lifting-path planning, but are challenging to determine. The crane location regions (CLRs)-based sampler is an efficient method that can calculate PPCs, but it ...
