Road maintenance and cleaning in winter are performed with ploughshares. Due to the fact that layer of snow ice is removed from road surface contains various hard impurities, ploughshares exposed high intensity abrasive wear. This article deals resistance wear originally used ploughshare materials were designed as a suitable modification increase its service life. The chemical composition manuf...

The industrial world is currently growing rapidly. need for JIS S45C as a structural steel increasing which used to manufacture machine components. Efforts improve the mechanical properties of can use heat treatment and surface treatment. One treatments that often in shot peening. This study aims determine effect annealing peening on steel. indicated by changes results both transverse hardness ...

It is well known that the cold-forming process used to manufacture tubes causes an increase in both the yielding stress and the ultimate strength of the corner material in rectangular steel hollow sections. This may have a significant effect on the resistance of any structure built with those profiles. However, the mentioned material hardening can be difficult to take into account in the calcul...

Concrete is a long-lasting and less energy consuming construction material than steel and Aluminum. However, the concrete industry is the single largest consumer of natural resources. Several places around the world are facing faster rates of depletion of the resources needed for the manufacturing of portland cement, mining of aggregates, and water for making concrete. Each one of these materia...

The aim of this research is to examine the market potential for wood plastic composite (WPC) products in the highway construction sector in place of nonrenewable materials (e.g. virgin plastic and steel) and preservative-based products (treated wood). State-level transportation officials indicate that the majority of highway construction purchases are conducted by highway construction contracto...

The tree shape robot is mainly applied at the exhibition or performance. In order to take the eyes of the spectator, the moving function, reproducing the fast growth process of tree, is important function of the tree shape robot. This paper proposed the mechanism to reproduce growth process of tree shape robot which is used at the exhibition or performance. Proposed mechanism for growth process...

This paper presents an extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer-based optical fiber sensor (EFPI) for measuring three-dimensional (3D) displacements, including interfacial sliding and debonding during delamination. The idea employs three spatially arranged EFPIs as the sensing elements. In our sensor, the three EFPIs are formed by three endfaces of three optical fibers and their corresponding incli...

Industrial Photogrammetry which has advantages of high accuracy and fast measurement time is widely used in the manufacture measurement application. Especially, industrial photogrammetry has more powerful capability of quickness in the 3 dimensional coordinate measurement then comparing with optical measurement system like total station, laser tracker and laser scanner. The purpose of this pape...

The response of a strong bainitic–steel to tempering at high temperatures is investigated, because a softened state is sometimes necessary during the manufacture of engineering components, prior to the final heat–treatment which hardens the material. Thermodynamic calculations conducted to determine the maximum temperature at which the steel could be annealed without forming austenite were foun...

This paper describes research towards the development of a robotic system for the automated inspection of steel plates. Such plates are inspected extensively during manufacture and fabrication. This inspection is often carried out manually in hazardous environments by skilled personnel. Such difficult conditions may reduce the operating ability of technicians, leading to poor performance and lo...
