Brushing with bonded abrasives is a finishing process which can be used for the surface improvement of various materials. Since the machining mechanisms of abrasive brushing processes are still largely unknown and little predating research was done o...

The integration of exponential technologies in the traditional manufacturing processes constitutes a noteworthy trend of the past two decades, aiming to reshape the industrial environment. This kind of digital transformation, which is driven by the I...

Environmental impact and recycling have been increasingly frequent topics in recent years. At the same time, the life cycle of products has increasingly become shorter, as the escalating competitive market requires new products in smaller pieces. Fro...

This paper is devoted to the development and improvement of mechanisms for the functioning of an automated system for correcting the points of the planned trajectory of the tool of a laser robotic welding complex in the pre-process. Correction of the...

This paper proposes a methodology for automated assessment of fatigue damage, which has been tested and validated with polycrystalline-alloy (Aℓ7075-T6) specimens on an experimental apparatus. Based on an ensemble of time series of ultrasonic test (U...

3D printing conquers new branches of production due to becoming a more reliable and professional method of manufacturing. The benefits of additive manufacturing such as part optimization, weight reduction, and ease of prototyping were factors acceler...

In this study, the inter-stage dynamic performance of a multistage axial compressor is simulated through a semi-empirical model constructed in the Matlab Simulink environment. A semi-empirical 1-D compressor model developed in a previous study has be...

This paper outlines the design process for achieving a novel four-legged robot for exploration and rescue tasks. This application is also intended as an educational mean for masters’ students aiming at gaining skills in designing and operating...

Even though scientific studies of smart stents are extensive, current smart stents focus on pressure sensors. This paper presents a novel implantable biocompatible smart stent for monitoring eventual restenosis. The device is comprised of a metal mes...

With the continuous optimization of energy structures, wind power generation has become the dominant new energy source. The strong random fluctuation of natural wind will bring challenges to power system dispatching, so it is necessary to predict win...
