Interactive physically-based simulation of rigid bodies and deformable solids is an important and active research topic in computer graphics as well as an essential part of many applications like virtual prototyping, ...

This research deals with the experimental investigation of time dependent deformations in partially precast floors with composite beam-and-block floor systems made with reinforced concrete lattice joist through the measurement ...

Abstract:Inconel ® 718 is a well-known nickel-based super-alloy used for high-temperature applicationsafter thermomechanical processes followed by heat treatments. This work describes theevolution of the microstructure and ...

Understanding the multi-physics phenomena associated with blade dynamics constitutes a fundamental factor for the continuous development of wind-turbine technology and the optimization of the efficiency of wind farms. Large ...

In this paper we developed a prototype for dynamic and quantitative analysis of the hardness of metal surfaces by penetration tests. It consists of a micro-indenter which is driven by a gear system driven by three-rectified. ...

A prototype of an upper limb prosthesis with a single control is presented in this paper. The prosthesis has 16 degrees of freedom, five fingers with independent joints and articulations in the hand’s palm, being able to ...

Pelvic limb deformities are common in many avian species. Three young birds, including a six-week-old Cockatoo and two three-month-old goslings, were presented with tarsal joint deformities. They were treated with an ...
