A robot for welding inspection in offshore mooring chains
(Springer, 2018-08-31)
In this paper, the authors present the CIRUS robot. This automatic system uses a combination of pulse-echo and pitch and catch ultrasonic strategies for the inspection of the welded area of mooring chain links in an automatic ...
A robot for non-destructive testing weld inspection of offshore mooring chains
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2018-05-09)
Welding flaw detection is a key step in manufacturing many components. In offshore chains, every link is manufactured from a steel bar that is bent and the ends joined by flash butt welding. Ultrasonic inspection of the ...
Translational parallel manipulator with Pa2 kinematic joints
(Springer, 2016-10-01)
The kinematic pair Pa2 is composed of two interlinked parallelograms. It has two degrees of freedom that generate a translational plane variable with position. It has a structure different from the PaPa pair, which is ...
Optimum dimensional synthesis using GIMSYNT software
(Springer, 2019-06-14)
In the field of mechanism design, optimum dimensional synthesis
plays a significant role. Focusing on path generation synthesis, the designer has
to find the most adequate mechanism capable of tracing a trajectory as ...
