Abstract: Abstract. Machine vision inspections need to go through complex surface textures, part deviations/curvatures, nonuniform lighting, highly reflective surfaces, and unpredictable defects, which introduce image quality issues ...

Abstract: This article presents a novel approach to optimize geometric tolerances (flatness and cylindricity) by manipulating the rigidity among finishing and roughing cutting sequences during end milling of thin-walled components. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a multiple flow-regime model for pressure drop during condensation of refrigerant R134a in horizontal microchannels. Condensation pressure drops measured in two circular and ...

Abstract: The mean flow in a pipe with turbulent separated flow due to an orifice plate is experimentally studied. Measurements of time-mean length of separation and reattachment regions, made using a ...

Abstract: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices have gained considerable attention in medical and automotive applications due to their vast advantages in fault detection. However, the cost for MEMS ...

Abstract: A new frontier in the development of prosthetic devices is the design of nanoscale systems which replace, augment, or support individual cells. Similar to cells, such devices will require the ...

Abstract: Condensation pressure drops and heat transfer coefficients for refrigerant R134a flowing through rectangular microchannels with hydraulic diameters ranging from 100 μm to 200 μm are measured in ...

Abstract: Our objective here is to establish long-term loads for offshore wind turbines using a probabilistic approach. This can enable one to estimate design loads for a prescribed level of return ...

Abstract: Tube bending is a widely used manufacturing process in the aerospace, automotive, and various other industries. During tube bending, considerable in-plane distortion and thickness variation occurs. ...
