In order to more accurately realize the automatic identification and quantitative characterization of coral reef multi-scale pore structure, this paper has carried out such research. On the basis of using multiple information acquisition technology,...

In the aerospace field, lightweight design is a never-ending pursuit. By integrating structural bionics and structural optimization, the vertical bracket of a wide angle auroral imager is designed and manufactured by additive manufacturing technology...

The development of augmented reality (AR) and its application in total joint arthroplasty aims at improving the accuracy and precision in implant components’ positioning, hopefully leading to increased outcomes and survivorship. However, this f...

To address the lack of fast and high-precision in situ measurement of large-sized pipes in current industrial applications, a pipe-diameter-measurement method based on stereo vision is designed in this paper. By using multiple sets of binocular camer...

This paper focuses on the new method of searching cut-sets, which enables us to conduct the system reliability analysis for plane trusses. As the result of such, the analysis of the reliability index for the whole structure is obtained, not only for...

We consider non-Newtonian boundary-layer fluid flow, governed by a power-law Ostwald-de Waele rheology. Boundary-layer flows of non-Newtonian fluids have far-reaching applications, and are very frequently encountered in physical, as well as, engineer...

In this paper, a variable structure PID controller with a good convergence rate and robustness for satellite attitude is proposed. In order to improve the system convergence rate, the variable structure for the proportional and differential term was...

In this paper, the displacement fields responsible for acoustic emission (AE), excited from a point source in a transversely isotropic cylinder, are derived by solving the Navier-Lamé (NL) equation. The point source as an internal defect is re...

The presented article investigates the biomechanics of the calcaneal nail C-NAILTM by numerical calculations and, partially, experimentally. This nail is widely used in trauma and orthopaedics. A numerical model of implants directly interacting with...

Gastritis and gastric ulcers caused by stressors such as drinking are common. The ability of functional foods to protect the stomach more effectively and reduce the risk of side effects is of interest. The fermentation process can increase the preser...
