From the processing point of view, friction is a major problem in the severe plastic deformation (SPD) using equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) process. Incremental ECAP can be used in order to optimize frictional effects ...

Information, access to information and communication technologies leading to rapid and profound changes in economic and social life makes the lifelong learning a must for everyone and mostly adults. In Turkey, adult ...

This paper introduces the characterization study of a new actuator design -"Adhesive Pillar Based Air Levitation" (APAL) system-to manipulate fine objects in a non-destructive manner. A meso-scale polymer adhesive pillar ...

A piezoelectric energy harvesting system, where elastomer pillars stand on a piezoelectric polymer layer is designed, fabricated and tested for low and broadband frequency vibrations. In this configuration, elastomer pillars ...

The tactile sensors are primarily used to measure the contact area and normal pressure of contacting two solids. The common deficiencies of the current tactile sensors are flexibility, adaptation to contacting bodies, ...

A thermoelectric energy harvesting module for the pressure measurement of air induction system of heavy duty vehicles is designed. A positive contribution for cable complexity, fuel consumption and vehicle performance is ...
