Application of soft and compliant joints in grasping mechanisms received an increasing attention during recent years. This article suggests the design and development of a novel bio-inspired compliant finger which is composed of a 3D printed rigid endoskeleton covered by a soft matter. The overall integrated system resembles a biological structure ...

C/SiC composite material is widely used in aerospace fields because of its excellent properties; however, it is difficult to be removed and processed. In this paper, the 2.5-dimensional C/SiC composite material was ablated by nanosecond laser to explore the laser removal mechanism. Firstly, the laser ablation experiment was carried out to investiga...

There is a need to replace non-sustainable conventional coolant (emulsion) with eco benign high-performance cutting fluids such as biodegradable nanofluids that exhibit sufficient lubrication and cooling properties. Also, the sustainability performance of titanium-based alloys can be improved with the geometric alteration on the tool rake zone and ...

Finite element analysis is commonly used to investigate the thermal-mechanical phenomena during welding. To improve the computing efficiency of finite element analysis for welding thermal conduction, a novel Newton–Raphson method (NRM) without the computation of inverse matrix and a hybrid method combing the NRM and conventional implicit method (IM...

Cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM) is relatively a new additive manufacturing technology that does not employ heat to achieve bonding between metal particles and the substrate. The CSAM process operates at a temperature lower than the melting temperature of the metal particle and the substrate. Hence, the constraints associated with high-temp...

The misalignment of steel strips in relation to the roller table centerline still is an impairment for the rolling mill production lines. Nowadays, the strip position correction remains largely in the purview of human analysis, in which the strip steering is traditionally a semi-manual operation. Automating the alignment process could reduce the ma...

The primary objective of this study is to predict the geometric shape and thickness change during multi-pass tube spinning to a hemispherical shape. A computationally efficient, axisymmetric finite element model of the tube-spinning experiments is described. Uniaxial tensile tests are conducted for the development of the material model. The post-ne...

Continuous 3+2-axis additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging AM technology that overcomes the signature problems of the need of support structures and the staircase effect of the traditional 3-axis AM. This paper presents a novel process planning framework for automatically generating a multi-axis support-free printing path for continuous 3+2-axi...

The present work aims to predict the fracture mechanism of a friction stir processed (FSPed) copper. In particular, a phase-field model integrated with finite element model is developed for ductile fracture modeling. The phase-field evolution governed by the nonlinear coupled system comprising the linear momentum equation and the diffusion-type equ...
