This study investigated the specific milling energy of rectangular pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) boards using a new size reduction technology, which can produce fine wood powders in single-step operation. Multilinear regression (MLR) analysis was used to model multi-blade shaft mill through designed series experiments having three input parameters: moisture content board, blade speed and board fee...

This dissertation addresses three related topics in the application of virtual fixtures to bilateral telemanipulation systems. Bilateral telemanipulation is the direct human control of a remote robot, with force and/or tactile feedback, and virtual fixtures are guidance modes, implemented in software, that assist the user in accomplishing a telemanipulated task. The first topic addressed in thi...

A. Smalcerz, R. Przyłucki Silesian Technical University, Department of Metallurgy, Katowice, Poland The paper presents an analysis of the infl uence of the industrial r obot located nearby an induc tion heater on the electromagnetic fi eld distribution. The experiment consisted of numerical analy sis and measurement verifi cation. The analysis of the electromagnetic fi eld distribution was cond...

Hollow Pd/Sn bimetallic nanocrystals were fabricated by a fast one-pot strategy in an oleylamine system. This method produced a fine single crystalline bimetallic hollow nanostructure. The process and influencing factors of the reaction are also discussed in this work. Bimetallic nanoparticles possessing special hollow structures with single-crystalline nature are expected to have particular el...

Electromagnetic forming is a high energy rate forming process in which an electromagnetic Lorentz body force is used for deformation of products.  In this article, electromagnetic forming process was simulated for the assembly of parts as an innovative method.  The effect of important process parameters such as discharge energy, radius and width of rectangular groove on the strength of the asse...
