Titanium alloys, largely used for aeronautical applications, are difficult to machine. High cutting forces, chip serration and important tool wear reflect this poor machinability, limiting productivity. One way of improving ...

The cost of manufacturing a structural ceramic component is a direct function of production quantity. Small-quantity production, such as prototypes manufactured by conventional methods, leads to long production times and ...

In this paper, the effect of gravity on the nonlinear extreme amplitude vibrations of a slender, vertically-oriented cantilever beam is investigated. The extreme nonlinear vibrations are modeled using a finite element ...

Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) have recently become more prominent in academic research and industrial applications. Physical tasks often rely on sharing spatial information between the collaborators, which are ...
