Following a lively discussion at the AEDS-SIG Workshop 2005, I had the pleasure of reading the doctoral thesis by Kalevi Nevala [2005a]. The following is a summary and interpretation of comments I made to Dr. Nevala. In discussions or considerations of design engineering problems and engineering designers, different words are often used. Designing is a process of transforming information about a fu (…)
A workpiece manipulation assembly includes two main parts. 1. A base permanently connected to a spindle. 2. A pallet manipulated by a rotary manipulation table from working place to setting place & vice versa. This assembly is rotating around the spindle axis. The FEM analysis and analytical analysis of the workpiece exchange manipulation system of vertical turning centre, deals with stress and def (…)
The present investigation was set up to examine both predicted and experimental values of forces, power, press work and friction in drawing cups from low carbon steel blanks using the same die set but in different uncoated and TiN coated conditions. The results showed a good agreement between predicted and experimental values. In addition, the findings demonstrated that the TiN coated tools reduced (…)
Recent trends in the development of robots confirm that the concept of metamorphic – self-regulating structures has found its recent form in theoretical as well as practical robotics. This development direction is topical also for service robotics where the effects of this concept can be used more intensively in the benefit of utility features of service robots. The paper shows theoretical and desi (…)
