As an overall strategy to improve the accuracy of the forming process, the authors pay attention to those factors which may influence the inherent deformation of plates formed by line heating. In order to identify those ...

In ship building, line-heating is widely employed as an effective method to form steel plate with complex 3-dimensional carved geometries. However the plate bending by line heating is strongly dependent on skills. To ...

The authors aim to propose an accurate and practical method to predict the deformation of actual plates of large size such as those used in shipbuilding. This method is to be used to improve the accuracy of an automatic ...

Welding distortion is practically an expected feature in shipbuilding, with a few exceptions; when thick plates are used, for example. Nowadays, the trend is to use thinner plates in order to reduce weight, aiming to reduce ...

Most structural/kinematic models are inherently two-dimensional; even several recent three-dimensional models are "pseudo-three-dimensional" in that they consist of a series of parallel two-dimensional cross sections. Lack ...

Vibration is a very common phenomenon on a day-to-day basis, whether in the industrial or even domestic environment. However, the vibration is often an undesirable problem that we face, due to the various malfunctions or ...

The most common distress in the asphalt coating layer of the country's highways are permanent deformation in the wheel tracks and fatigue cracking. The phenomena of cracking and permanent deformation that occur at the ...

This work shows results obtained with the use of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) transducer to monitor the drying process of latex paints. When a thin film of wet paint is dried on the substrate surface, the paint film change ...

Los materiales metálicos policristalinos, formados por un gran número de granos, donde la existencia de dislocaciones permite conformarlos hasta alcanzar geometrías deseadas, representan el mayor porcentaje de aplicación ...
