The small size of mesoand microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices presents several challenges for full-field deformation measurements. A hybrid system combining Digital Image Correlation (DIC) for in-plane deformation and Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) for out-of-plane deformation measurements has been developed for working with these small size scales. Measurement of th...

in present paper, a point to point optimal path is planned for a mobile manipulator with flexible links and joints. for this purpose, a perfect dynamic modeling is performed for mobile manipulators considering large deformation in links, shear effects, elastic joints, effect of gravitation, and non-holonomic constraints. to study large deformation of links, non-linear relation of displacement-s...

effect of small al additions, from 0.14% to 0.31% ai, on the hot deformation behavior of low carbon steels containing 1%cu-1.2%mn was investigated in the temperature range of 750-800•c over the strain rate range of 1o.3.1o.1s•1 by a hot compression testing machine. the flow curves obtained, exhibited typical characteristics of dynamic recovery type of softening mechanism, and the critical strai...

the effect of pre-existing nano sized precipitates on the mechanisms and rate of grain refinement has been investigated during the severe plastic deformation. a binary al–0.2sc alloy, containing coherent al3sc particles, of 3.62 nm in diameter has been deformed by accumulative roll bonding up to 10 cycles. the resulting deformed structures were quantitatively analyzed using electron backscatter...

Fuzzy functional dependency (FFD) is a kind of semantic knowledge and can be discovered from a large volume of business data. Sectional FFD and Attribute FFD are discussed so as to reflect semantics of the business world and express useful information that is natural for people to comprehend. The experimental results on an insurance data set show that the proposed method can extract knowledge e...

Scanning the deformation behavior of real objects is a useful technique to acquire physically realistic behavior. It has been shown previously how to acquire physically realistic object behavior for small deformation and how to render the behavior at interactive rates. This paper introduces a novel method to extend previous work to handle large scale deformation. We model large scale deformatio...

Macromolecular crowding can alter the structure and function of biological macromolecules. We used small-angle scattering to measure the effects of macromolecular crowding on the size of a protein complex, SOD (superoxide dismutase). Crowding was induced using 400 MW PEG (polyethylene glycol),TEG (triethylene glycol), α-MG (methyl-α-glucoside), and TMAO (trimethylamine n-oxide). Parallel small-...
