Short-Term Visual Deprivation, Tactile Acuity, and Haptic Solid Shape Discrimination
… haptic discrimination of 3-dimensional object shape. Again, no significant difference in performance was found between the sighted and visually deprived participants. Together, the current results show that a brief period of visual deprivation (1.5 hours) produces no significant behavioral …

Formwork as a design tool
… of concrete is the formwork which gives it its solid shape and texture. Naturally, the formwork takes up a bulk of the cost and labor time in reinforced concrete construction. However, despite its importance., formwork currently receives little attention from architects and is rather innovated …

Geometric Design Methods for Conducting Solids Cooled by Conjugate Heat Transfer Including Surface Radiation
… and investigate design methods for conducting solids cooled by multimode heat transfer, including surface radiation. The goal is to determine solid shapes with reduced or minimal overall thermal resistances. The influence of radiation on the predicted optimal shapes and thermal performance is …

Descaling petroleum production tubing using multiple high-pressure nozzles
… complexity. While the recent single nozzle, solid free aerated jetting descaling technique was characterised with poor scale coverage and high descaling time. This novel experimental scale removal technique utilises multiple high-pressure spray of up to10MPa and low flow rate of 12 l/m from …

Achieving Complex Motion with Fundamental Components for Lamina Emergent Mechanisms
<p>Designing mechanical products in a competitive environment can present unique challenges, and designers constantly search for innovative ways to increase efficiency. One way to save space and reduce cost is to use ortho-planar compliant mechanisms which can be made from sheets of material, or …
