Less ergonomic work postures such as bending and squatting have the potential to pose risks. When muscles receive static loads repeatedly for a long time, it causes complaints of damage joints, ligaments, tendons commonly referred musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) or injuries system. This study aimed determine level risk performed by workers in each activity using Rapid Entire Body Assessment (R...

Abstract. This paper presents a new approach for multiresolution reconstruction in 3D Feldkamp-type cone-beam tomography. The approximative inverse is used to derive an inversion formula for reconstructing the wavelet approximation and wavelet detail coefficients of the volume slice by slice. Beyond the reconstruction algorithm, applications of multiresolution reconstruction in the field of non...

Casting has many process variations depending upon the material, the type of pattern, mould and the pouring technique like sand casting, investment casting, die casting, squeeze casting and lost foam casting. Sand casting is the most widely used process which can be used to produce intricate parts in almost every metal that can be melted. Casting defects analysis is process of finding the root ...

We consider the problem of dynamic coupling between the rapid thermal solidification and mechanical compression of steel in twin-roll steel strip casting. In traditional steel casting, molten steel is first solidified into thick slabs and then compressed via a series of rollers to create thin sheets of steel. In twin-roll casting, these two processes are combined, thereby making control of the ...

Quality inspection is an indispensable part of modern industrial manufacturing. Steel as a major industry requires constant surveillance and supervision through its various stages of production. Continuous casting is a critical step in the steel manufacturing process in which molten steel is solidified into a semi-finished product called slab. Once the slab is released from the casting unit, th...

The effect of casting pores on the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior of a directionally solidified (DS) Ni-base superalloy DZ4 is investigated. Casting and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) specimens were subjected to very high cycle fatigue loading in an ambient atmosphere. The results demonstrated that the continuously descending S-N curves were exhibited for both the casting and HIP specime...

The article presents pr ocess application of the rapi d prototyping (RP) for manufacturing of blades of aircraft turbine in monocrystallization and also directional crystallization of casting process. It is describing the method of modelling of the chosen elements of casting model kit with the usage of RP and RT system s. The article presents the analysis of additive rapid prototyping methods (...

A hierarchical decomposition of a simple polygon is introduced. The hierarchy has depth O(log n), linear size, and its regions have at most three neighbors. Using this hierarchy, circular ray shooting queries in a simple polygon can be answered in O(log n) query time and O(n log n) space. If the radius of the circle is xed, the query time can be improved to O(log n) and the space to O(n).
