Stress in laser cladding coating is an important factor affecting the safe operation of remanufacturing components. Ultrasonic testing has become a popular approach in the nondestructive evaluation of stress, because it has the advantages of safety, nondestructiveness, and online detection. This paper provides a review of ultrasonic testing for stress in remanufacturing laser cladding coating. ...

V-Band Clamps are manufactured using a cold roll forming process consisting of six passes which plastically deform an initially flat strip by bending to produce the band’s V-section. In this paper a new method of validating numerically predicted plastic deformation in a cold formed metal strip is presented. Tensile testing of samples of the band’s material was used to obtain a direct link betwe...

This paper numerically and experimentally investigates and demonstrates the design of an optofluidic in -plane bi-concave lens to perform both light focusing and diverging using the combined effect of pressure driven flow and electroosmosis. The concave lens is formed in a rectangular chamber with liquid core liquid cladding (L) configuration. Under constant flowrates, the performance of the le...
