The family of bulk forming technologies comprises processes characterised by a complex three-dimensional stress and strain state. Besides shape and material properties, also residual stresses are modified during a bulk ...

The calibration of areal surface topography measuring instruments is of high relevance to estimate the measurement uncertainty and to guarantee the traceability of the measurement results. Calibration structures for optical ...

Qualitative uncertainties are a key challenge for the further industrialization of additive manufacturing. To solve this challenge, methods for measuring the process states and properties of parts during additive manufacturing ...

Machining of tungsten carbide requires the use of highly wear resistant grinding tools, like metal bonded grinding tools. The abrasive layer of these grinding tools can be regarded as Metal-Matrix-Composites reinforced ...

In order to develop hardware that can be used in space, tests under those space conditions are often important to ensure the functionality in advance. Facilities that are used to recreate gravity conditions of space include ...

Contrary to local resonances of single nanostructures, collective (or nonlocal) resonances in periodic metasurfaces, such as surface lattice resonances (SLRs), can significantly enhance light–matter interaction, leading ...

Human-robot communication scenarios are becoming increasingly important. In this paper, we investigate the differences between human-human and human-robot communication in the context of persuasive communication. We ran ...

The use of automated fiber placement (AFP) to manufacture integrated CFRP stiffening structures leads to a conflict between structural requirements and process limitations in early design stages. In order to avoid costly ...

In the context of developing a novel technology for the automated production of continuously draped preforms, the effects of fibre misalignment on the stability of double-curved, unidirectional plies are investigated. The ...

Stangendichtungen in Hydraulikanwendungen sind Maschinenelemente, die in sehr großer Menge produziert und genutzt werden. Ihre Aufgabe besteht im Wesentlichen darin, das Hydraulikfluid am Austritt zu hindern und somit ...
