Human body scanning is an important means to build a digital 3D model of the human body, which is the basis for intelligent clothing production, human obesity analysis, and medical plastic surgery applications, etc. Comparing to commonly used optical...

Industry 4.0 allows for greater flexibility in production processes so that products can be customized (i.e., mass customization). Innovative production techniques in an industrial liquid/yogurt filling machine (YFM) improved efficiency in the bevera...

Muscle weakness is the primary impairment causing mobility difficulty among stroke survivors. Millions of people are unable to live normally because of mobility difficulty every year. Strength training is an effective method to improve lower extremit...

The reliability and cost-effectiveness of energy conversion in gas turbine systems are strongly dependent on an accurate diagnosis of possible process and sensor anomalies. Because data collected from a gas turbine system for diagnosis are inherently...

Based on the necessity of optimizing the structure of No. 9 single turnouts of 60-kg/m rails, we addressed the issues associated with existing turnout switching design methods. Based on finite element analysis, we established a refined calculation mo...

In this paper, a new coupling simulation method is proposed for baler picker using automatic dynamic analysis of mechanical systems (ADAMS) and discrete element method (DEM). Field tests are carried out to verify the accuracy of the simulation model....

This article shows an approach to the three-dimensional modelling of a sugarcane mill and its associated steam engine, designed by the Robey and Co. engineering company in 1869. In order to obtain the 3D CAD model of said invention, CATIA V5 R20 soft...

When a train crashes with another train at a high speed, it will lead to significant financial losses and societal costs. Carrying out a train-to-train crash test is of great significance to reproducing the collision response and assessing the safety...

The pressure fluctuation characteristics of a rim driven propulsion pump are studied by an experimental method firstly, and then its unsteady inner flow is studied by numerical simulation to reveal the generating mechanism of the pressure fluctuation...

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are a very promising alternative for reducing fuel consumption and improving traffic efficiency when vehicles merge at on-ramps. In this study, we propose a graph-based method to coordinate CAVs to merge at the...
