Friction stir welding (FSW) is in existence for well over three decades. Started primarily with
the joining of aluminium alloys, FSW is gradually engaged for other alloys and also …

One of the processes in pearl oyster cultivation is detecting the pearl nucleus to gain
information whether the pearl nucleus is still attached in the shell or vomited. The common …

Digital methods are increasingly applied to store, structure and analyse vast amounts of
musical data. In this context, visualization plays a crucial role, as it assists musicologists and …

Understanding contact mechanics and adhesion processes in thin films and micro-
structured materials is fundamental in phonon and heat transport phenomena and is …

Based on computed tomography (CT), a method is developed for nondestructive detection of
defects in friction stir welded (FSW) joints. Plates of AA6061-T6 and AA1050 are welded to …

This paper describes the development of an in-pipe inspection robot system designed for
large-diameter water pipes. The robot is equipped with a Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) …

X-ray computed tomography is more often applied in non-destructive testing the quality of
construction elements significantly crucial for reliability and safety of device elements …

In a magneto-Archimedes levitation device, a three-dimensional (3D) polymeric part can be
levitated with a posture that is closely related to its shape and internal defects. Here, a novel …

Layer thickness is an important factor in judging the quality of a water‐assisted coinjection
molding (WACIM) part. Here, a novel nondestructive method for measuring layer thickness …

Laser metal deposition (LMD) is an advanced technology of additive manufacturing which
involves sophisticated processes. However, it is associated with high risks of failure due to …
