Even when all the details are provided, the design of wind turbines is a big challenge. The detailed knowledge of the deformation of vital wind turbine components caused by a wind with extreme operating gusts and other type of winds can be obtained only by performing measurements on the wind turbine. The vital component of the wind turbine is axle pin. This article presents the results of the m...

The previous paper presented at the 2016 FCRAR discussed the research topic of creating time simulating solar system models. This paper is an overview of the work done over the passed year in solar system model creation and the potential future work in STEM education. The use of designed tools to assist with relating abstract ideas to reality is now a possibility with the use of the modern manu...

This can of course be solved using algebra. The rst treatise on algebra was written by Diophantus of Alexandria in the 3rd century AD. The term derives from the Arabic al-jabr or literally \the reunion of broken parts." As well as its mathematical meaning, the word also means the surgical treatment of fractures. It gained widespread use through the title of a book ilm al-jabr wa'l-mukabala|the ...

PURPOSE This study aims to compare orbital volume obtained by helical tomography and rapid prototyping. METHODS The study sample was composed of 6 helical tomography scans. Eleven healthy orbits were identified to have their volumes measured. The volumetric analysis with the helical tomography utilized the same protocol developed by the Plastic Surgery Unit of the Federal University of Paraná...

The praying mantis uses its front legs for locomotion, prey capture and feeding. Inspired by this dexterity, we began designing a hexapod robot that could use its front legs for both locomotion and manipulation. Our current work focuses on the middle and back legs of the robot. We designed a five degree of freedom leg, using a gimbal to form three intersecting axes of rotation at the hip to imi...

The must be developed produced to highest standards all probable situations obstacles diverse activities order improve efficient autonomous robotic system. robot is designed accordance with design principles produce a final pr...

Computer aided design accounts with the support of parametric software in the design of machine components as well as of any other pieces of interest. The complexities of the element under study sometimes offer certain difficulties to computer design, or ever might generate mistakes in the final body conception. Reverse engineering techniques are based on the transformation of already conceived...
