This study presents an enhanced multi-chamber micro-perforated panel absorber (MC-MPPA) with varying sub-chamber depths, offering ultra-broadband low-frequency sound absorption. Traditional micro-perforated panel absorbers ...

In metal forming operations, the intensity and distribution of stresses at the tool/material interface have great influence on the pattern and mode of deformation. This is due to the effect of frictional forces, being ...

new flexible experimental technique is introduced where a tool base that incorporates sensitive pressure pins is used. An industrial - tool that contains the forging geometry can be placed on top of the ...

Collagen is the predominant load bearing component in many soft tissues including arterial tissue and is therefore critical in determining the mechanical integrity of such tissues. Degradation of collagen fibres is ...

To operate in unstructured settings, robots require control strategies that effectively respond to temporal changes in their environment. In the domain of robotic manipulation, most state-of-the-art approaches assume the ...

The aim of this paper is to develop the technical knowledge, especially the optimum geometries, for the design and manufacturing of a supersonic gas-gas ejecto r for a waste heat driven vehicle cooling system. Although ...

Geometrical features such as notches and corners give rise to stress concentrations. In industrial components these features are often designed with a constant radius, however it is already known that a more complex shape, ...

During the lifetime of a flying insect, its wings are subjected to mechanical forces and deformations for millions of cycles. Defects in the micrometre thin membranes or veins may reduce the insect's flight performance. ...
