Over the span of just four months, this renovation converted five existing buildings in El Monte into a state-of-the-art plumbing and piping training facility. Completed on time and within budget in ...

The objective of this review paper is to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the various aspects of vibration-assisted welding (VAW), focusing on its applications, limitations, future ...

There are essentially three widely used technologies for manufacturing plastic products: Injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. Injection molding is the most commonly used process for the ...

Completion of the 8-meter-long thermoplastic composite (TPC) fuselage section comprised continuous ultrasonic welding of the MFFD’s right-hand (RH) longitudinal fuselage joint (left) and resistance ...

Thermoplastic composites welding has the potential to significantly improve the sustainability of commercial aircraft production. Tier 1 airframer Collins Aerospace (Charlotte, N.C., U.S.) claims on ...

In this work, the time-dependent deformation and recovery of the nanolattices is measured by a nanoindentation system. The Finite element analysis (FEA) with a defect diffusion model is employed to ...

Deformation-driven metallurgy was implemented to prepare graphene nanoplatelet (GNP)-reinforced aluminum matrix composites with a time-dependent self-enhancement in corrosion resistance. Severe ...

A compact five-element integrated ultrasonic transducer was designed and manufactured for the inspection of defects in the split pins of control rod guide tubes in nuclear power plants. The transducer ...
