Finite Element Method Simulation and Rapid Prototyping

Rapid Prototyping is part of a modern technologies group whose target is to reduce the designing and manufacturing cycle of a product. One efficient rapid prototyping technique is that of 3D printing and, its benefits in designing and manufacturing elements of a laser medical device are presented by this paper. More, a simulation involving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer ph...

Design, Evaluation and Prototyping of a New Robotic Mechanism for Ultrasound Imaging

This paper presents a new robotic mechanism for ultrasound imaging. The device is placed on a patient's body by an operator, and an ultrasound expert controls the motions of the device to obtain ultrasound images. The paper focuses on the robotic mechanism that performs ultrasound imaging. The design of the mechanism is based on two approaches to produce center of motion for an ultrasound probe...

Some applications of Computational Logic to the development of intelligent systems and verification methods

Computational Logic plays a very relevant role in engineering complex systems. It can be used to specify systems at different levels of abstraction. The specifications are executable, thus providing a working prototype for free. Thanks to its well-founded semantics it can be used to reason about the correctness of the specifications, a fundamental aspect when safety critical applications are de...
