An Abaqus/Standard FEA based study was carried out to develop a structural format for a wing sail used on a sailing boat, V-39 Albatross. As well as providing a novel structural solution to meet a challenging set of requirements, the study has given the necessary mass properties and stiffness data required to further progress the preliminary design phase of the overall boat. The brief for the b...

This paper describes the design of a multi-user touch table and software application capable of supporting multiple simultaneous users. The table uses diffused surface illumination (DSI) technology and is capable of both touch recognition and object recognition. Two pieces of software were implemented. The first interprets touch and object information transmitted from a vision library. The seco...
