Experiences from Introducing State-of-the-art Real-Time Techniques in the Automotive Industry Abstract The use of state-of-the-art real-time techniques in industry remains infrequent. The reason for this, we believe, is three-fold: the lack...

AbstractThis paper describes the estimation method of die service life based on wear and the plastic deformation of dies in hot forging processes.Die service life is considerably shortened due to the thermal softening of surface layer, cause...

In The Feel of Java James Gosling stated that: Java is a blue collar language. Its notPhD thesis material but a language for a job. Java feels very familiar to many differentprogrammers because I had a very strong tendency to prefer things t...

Abstract In stamping, operating cost are dominated by raw material costs, which can typically reach 75% of total costs in a stamping facility. In this paper, a new algorithm is described that determines stamping strip layouts for pairs of pa...

Abstract: This paper deals with the design of an industrial robot controller t~aturing sensor-based control capabilities. The design tbllows the guidelines of a methodology aimed at structuring the design process, to assure traceability betw...

One princple aim of kinemarics is to creat the designed motions of the subject mechanical parts and then mathematically compute the positions, velocities ,and accelerations ,which those motions will creat on the parts. Since ,for most earthb...

Abstract: Nature works hard to destroy bearings, but their chances of survival can be improved by following a few simple guidelines. Extreme neglect in a bearing leads to overheating and possibly seizure or, at worst, an explosion. But even...

AbstractSludge production is an avoidable problem arising from the treatment of wastewater. The sludge remained aftermunicipal wastewater treatment contains considerable amounts of various contaminants and if is not properlyhandled and dispo...

In order to inspect deformable parts, recent works use virtual deformation on a digitized version of areal-part to bring the part model back to its nominal shape. This simulation mimics the real processcalled fixturing, which is normally use...

AbstractMediterranean countries show two specific features regarding air-conditioning of buildings: a highand growingcooling loadand high relative humidity, at least in coastal zones. In this contribution we report on the development of an...
