In this study, we examined a tank container for foodstuff that is generally used for the transport of foodstuffs. With the aid of the “ANSYS R17.0” program code, a numerical model of the tank container for foodstuffs was realized. Further, to validat...

This article shows the design of a device to automatize an Ambu Spur II manual respirator. The aim of this compassionate medicine device is to provide an emergency alternative to conventional electric respirators—which are in much shortage—during the...

The addition of omnidirectional capability and modularization to conveyor systems is an exciting and trending topic in current conveyor research. The implementation of omnidirectional modular conveyors is foreseen as mandatory in the future of convey...

This study aimed to develop an extrusion and pultrusion system for producing carbon fiber-filled thermoplastic pellets. The extruder delivers a plastic melt to an impregnation die in sufficient volume and is pulled out along with the fibers. The fibe...

Assessing passenger cars’ dynamic performance is a critical aspect for car industries, due to its impact on the overall vehicle safety evaluation and the subjective nature of the involved handling and comfort metrics. Accordingly, ISO standards, such...

The rapid development of machine vision has prompted the continuous emergence of new detection systems and algorithms in surface defect detection. However, most of the existing methods establish their systems with few comparisons and verifications, a...

Drill ships and offshore rigs use azimuth thrusters for propulsion, maneuvering and steering, attitude control and dynamic positioning activities. The versatile operating modes and the challenging marine environment create demand for flexible and pra...

Articulated tracked vehicles have been traditionally studied and appreciated for the extreme maneuverability and mobility flexibility in terms of grade and side slope capabilities. The articulation joint represents an attractive and advantageous solu...

This paper provides an overview of Human Machine Interface (HMI) design and command systems in commercial or experimental operation across transport modes. It presents and comments on different HMIs from the perspective of vehicle automation equipmen...
