Abstract In this paper a kinematic analysis of an adjustable slider-crank mechanism is presented. The proposed mechanism is formed by an output member, i.e. The slider, by a connecting rod and by an equivalent crank mechanism, consisting of...

Test Introduction Concrete is a man-made composite the major constituent of which is natural aggregate (such as gravel and sand) and binding medium (such as cement paste, bitumen and polymers). The binding medium is used to bind the aggregat...

When humans learn a new motor skill from a teacher, they learn using multiple channels. They receive high level information aurally about the skill, visual information about how another performs the skill, and at times, tactile information f...

Abstract Cooling system of an injection mold is important for the promotion of production rate and the quality of injection plastic components. Conformal cooling channels are newly developed temperature-adjusting method to promote the effici...

Codes and standards ensure wood buildings are constructed for safety and durability Wood frame construction has superior seismic performance, even in the most severe earthquakes. Fire safety is assured by fire-rated, finished assemblies, whi...

High-speed machining is contemporary advanced manufacturing technology an important component of the high-efficiency, High-precision and high surface quality, and other features. This article presents the technical definition of the current...

A workstation and method for processing a plurality of workpieces includes at least one material handling robot movable along a processing path for supporting a workpiece to be moved along the processing path. At least one station can be def...

Abstract This paper presents the design of a plastic injection mould for producing warpage testing specimen and performing thermal analysis for the mould to access on the effect of thermal residual stress in the mould. The technique, theory,...

Abstract In this paper we develop a theory of non-parametric self-calibration. Recently, schemes have been devised for non-parametric laboratory calibration, but not for self-calibration. We allow an arbitrary warp to model the intrinsic map...
