Influence of PLA Filament Conditions on Characteristics of FDM Parts
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Additive manufacturing technologies play an important role in Industry 4.0. One of the most prevalent processes is fused deposition modelling (FDM) due to its versatility and low cost. However, there is still a lack of ...
Mean Stress Effect on the Axial Fatigue Strength of DIN 34CrNiMo6 Quenched and Tempered Steel
(MDPI, 2018-04)
The present study consists of a theoretical and experimental investigation of the effect of axial mean stresses on the high cycle fatigue behaviour of DIN 34CrNiMo6 high strength steel in quenched and tempered conditions. ...
Analysis of the Process Parameter Influence in Laser Cladding of 316L Stainless Steel
(MDPI, 2018-09)
Laser Cladding is one of the leading processes within Additive Manufacturing technologies, which has concentrated a considerable amount of effort on its development. In regard to the latter, the current study aims to ...
Retained Austenite Control for the Soft Machining of High-Hardness Tool Steels
(MDPI, 2018-07-23)
Most high-hardness tool steels comprising forming dies require expensive finish machining operations to compensate for the dimensional distortion and surface oxidation caused by the die heat treatment. Precipitation-hardening ...
Wear And Friction Evaluation Of Different Tool Steels For Hot Stamping
(Hindawi, 2018-03-26)
The aim of this work is to investigate the durability of tool steels for hot stamping by comparing the wear resistance of three hot work tool steels. Friction and wear behaviours of different tool steels sliding against a ...
Evaluation of the Bond-to-Concrete Properties of GFRP Rebars in Marine Environments
(MDPI, 2018-10-08)
Increased traffic in combination with growing environmental impacts have led to the accelerated degradation of built infrastructure. In reinforced concrete structures, the corrosion of steel reinforcement is the predominant ...
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 ...
Using nodal coordinates as variables for the dimensional synthesis of mechanisms
(Springer, 2018-06)
The method of the lower deformation energy has been successfully used for the synthesis of mechanisms for quite a while. It has shown to be a versatile, yet powerful method for assisting in the design of mechanisms. Until ...
An efficient LDU algorithm for the minimal least squares solution of linear systems
(Elsevier, 2018-12-15)
The minimal least squares solutions is a topic of interest due to the broad range of applications of this problem. Although it can be obtained from other algorithms, such as the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) or the ...
