Abstract: Active origami structures usually have creases made with soft and compliant plates because it is difficult to fabricate real hinges and actuate them. However, most conventional origami modeling techniques fail to capture ...

Abstract: Origami-inspired systems are attractive for creating structures and devices with tunable properties, multiple functionalities, high-ratio packaging capabilities, easy fabrication, and many other advantageous properties. ...

Abstract: The wear performance of an additively manufactured part is crucial to ensure the component’s functionality and reliability. Nevertheless, wear prediction is arduous due to numerous influential factors in both the manufacturing ...

Abstract: Selective laser melting (SLM) technology has a great potential to reduce size and weight of hydraulic valves. However, the tribological performance of an SLMed valve has not been studied which is crucial for the performance ...

Abstract: Surface damages on rail became severe with the increase in the axle load and speed. Laser cladding was used to repair the local damages on rail surfaces to ensure the service performance and prolong the life of rails. In ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamic cavitation abrasive finishing (HCAF) technology, as an innovative, clean, and efficient polishing method, has been proven effective for processing the internal surfaces of additive manufacturing flow ...
