With the integration of multiaxis layered manufacturing and material removal (machining) processes, a hybrid system has more capability and flexibility to build complicated geometry with a single setup. Process planning to integrate the two different processes is a key issue. In this paper, an algorithm of adaptive slicing for a five-axis Laser Aided Manufacturing Process (LAMP) is summarized that can generate uniform and non-uniform thickness slices. A method to build a non-uniform (thickness) layer that utilizes two processes is presented, and an overall algorithm for integration is described. The newly developed algorithm implemented in the process planning helps the hybrid system build parts more efficiently.

A method for students to gain insight into geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) by using virtual measurement techniques is discussed. Several families of parts with intentionally distorted geometry were created in order to let students understand the meaning of manufacturing variation. Students are required to build CAD fixtures, to measure variation in each part and compare it to the GD&T specifications. Collaboration between students is encouraged, as it is well known to be an effective learning strategy.
This paper presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of a building-integrated photovoltaic thermal (BIPV/T) system, which generates both electricity and thermal energy. The conjugate heat transfer in the BIP...

We perform experiments to investigate how humans acquire an internal representation of virtual objects through the execution of reaching movements across the object surface. Subjects were instructed to make reaching movements between points lying on the boundary of a planar virtual surface of varying stiffness. Results suggest two types of internal representation: force perturbations and object boundaries. In the first case, a rectilinear hand movement is enforced by opposing the interaction forces. In the second case, the trajectory is conformed to the object boundary so as to reduce interaction forces. While this dichotomy is evident for very rigid and very soft objects, the likelihood of identifying a surface boundary depended, in a smooth and monotonic way, on the average force experienced in the first movements. This continuum of interactive behaviors suggests that the nervous system uses a weighted combination of two control strategies, one generating a compensatory response, the other a compliant motion.

One key, but little documented and empirically supported, input in the ship design cycle is the expected operating speed profile. This real-world constraint affects many decisions regarding bull form and power systems, from fuel tanks to main propulsion and ship's service machinery selection and operation. These decisions, in turn, ripple through the design of a ship in ways that are often bard to discern, but clearly impact acquisition and life cycle costs. Recent studies of DDG 51 operating speed profiles demonstrate that the Navy regularly operates with speed profiles considerably different than used to design the ship. In general, warships operate in standard engine order telegraph increments (e.g., Ahead 2/3) and at lower speeds than designed for.

The influence of varying the thermal processing parameters on the physical and mechanical properties of 6061-T4 aluminum alloy was studied. The variables altered were solution treatment temperatures, quenching media and natural aging durations. The influence of varying these parameters on the tensile strength, electrical resistivity and hardness of the alloy is discussed and correlated.
Several materials exhibiting negative coefficients of thermal expansion have recently been identified. Such materials incorporated as filler in a polymer matrix should result in a composite with reduced, if not zero, ...
