Abstract: This paper demonstrates a method for the optimization of a ribbed table, such as a machine tool base. Although the particular structure considered has been idealized so that the shapes of ...

Abstract: The deformation theory of plasticity is considered as a means for obtaining a solution to the problem of calculating stress and strain concentration factors at geometric discontinuities where ...

Abstract: Many applications of industrial robot automation can be made possible or improved with the introduction of a force feedback system. The task of weld bead removal is being studied in an effort ...
