Automation has also facilitated higher and more predictable throughput.

Development of a transmission-illumination-based crack detection method using translucent tools for testing of thin-walled metal sheets and foils

2022-01-027503/29/2022

The formability of thin-walled metallic sheets and foils is increasingly gaining in importance in the automotive industry and in medical and food packaging. As a result, the demand for methods to test the deep drawing and stretch forming capabilities of these materials is increasing significantly as well. In deep drawing and stretch forming, the in-situ crack detection is either performed manually by purely visual evaluation by the machine operator or automatically by a crack detection system. The automatic crack detection method commonly integrated in sheet metal testing machines functions by analyzing the drawing force during forming. However, friction, vibration, and machine noise are disturbance variables that prevent crack detection in thin sheets and foils. The same disturbance variables also prevent robust crack detection in thin sheets and foils by systems that analyze structure-borne sound. Crack detection systems that use reflected light methods, on the other hand

LOGICAL SOFTWARE PART PACKAGING FOR TRANSPORT

ARINC641-1 (Current)11/16/2020

The purpose of this standard is to provide a method for packaging aircraft software parts for distribution using contemporary media or by electronic distribution. This project intends to standardize and provide guidance for the storage of floppy based software, currently packaged in media set parts. This standard format can be then stored or distributed on a single physical media member (CD-ROM), or by electronic crate. The obsolescence of floppy disks drive an urgent need for this guidance.

SAE TOMORROW TODAY: All Things Ridesharing

1289807/16/2020

The Rideshare Guy, Harry Campbell, hails a ride on this week's episode to share his firsthand expertise on ridesharing and food delivery with host Grayson Brulte. How does one go from being a structural engineer to a finance blogger to one of the leading voices in ridesharing? Harry shares the winding road that led to his blogging venture and the on-the-ground lessons he has learned to help others working in the industry maximize their opportunities. Harry and Grayson step into the political realm as they explore the impacts of California's AB5 on the rideshare economy. How do drivers feel about this bill? What are the benefits and drawbacks to drivers? How will AB5 impact the ridesharing businesses themselves? And how might a Democratic Vice President candidate elevate this California issue to the national stage? The conversation shifts to the future of food delivery services as Harry and Grayson discuss whether or not consolidations and acquisitions are inevitable, if the industry's

Self-Cleaning, Non-Stick Coating

TBMG-3620003/01/2020

Researchers have developed a self-cleaning surface that can repel all forms of dangerous bacteria. The new plastic surface — a treated form of conventional transparent wrap — can be shrink-wrapped onto door handles, railings, IV stands, and other surfaces that can be magnets for bacteria such as MRSA and C. difficile. The treated material is also ideal for food packaging, where it could stop the accidental transfer of bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella, and listeria from raw chicken, meat, and other foods.

An Efficient Input Mobility Mapping Computational Method

2017-01-180606/05/2017

The input mobility is a crucial structural parameter regarding vibro-acoustic design of industrial objects. Whatever the frequency range, the vibrational power input into a structure -and consequently the average structural-acoustic response- is governed by the input mobility. When packaging structure-borne noise sources, the knowledge of the input mobility at the source connection points is mandatory for noise control. The input mobility is classically computed at the required points as a specific Frequency Response Function (FRF). During an industrial design process, the choice of connection points requires an a priori knowledge of the input mobility at every possible location of the studied structure-borne source, i.e. a mapping of the input mobility. The classical FRF computation at every Degree Of Freedom (DOF) of the considered structure would lead to consider millions of load cases which is beyond current computational limits. This paper presents how to efficiently compute the

Wallops Flight Facility 6U Advanced CubeSat Ejector (ACE)

08/01/2015

Six-unit (6U) CubeSats are recognized as the next nanosatellite to be considered for standardization. The CubeSat standard established by California Polytechnic University (Cal Poly), which applies to 1U–3U sizes, has proven to be a valuable asset to the community. It has both provided design guidelines to CubeSat developers and a consistent, low-risk interface to launch service providers. This has ultimately led to more flight opportunities for CubeSats. A similar path is desired for the 6U CubeSat. Through this process of standardization, a consistent, low-risk interface for the 6U needs to be established.

Embedded Servo Drive Boosts Speed of Packaging Lines

04/01/2014

Pfankuch Machinery, based in Ahrensburg, Germany, is a leading manufacturer of friction feeder systems for inserting leaflets and products into sales packaging. An embedded smart servo drive from Metronix (part of the Apex Tool Group in Sparks, MD) has allowed Pfankuch to increase the speed of its latest friction feeder — the SmartFeeder — by 50% while also doubling the positioning accuracy. This offers a massive gain in productivity for the many users of this type of packaging equipment in markets including pharmaceutical, and food and beverage processing. At the same time, the new embedded drive minimizes the hardware costs of the upgrade for Pfankuch, because the drive was adapted for the application, providing a stripped-down product suitable for OEM integration that eliminates numerous expensive components.

Design and Optimization of Planetary Gearbox for a Formula Student Vehicle

2014-01-178004/01/2014

This paper presents the method of designing an optimized light weight, cost effective planetary gearbox for a Formula Student vehicle. The gearbox has a high speed functioning capability, in addition to the compact size and light weight. The iterative optimization procedure used provides a technique for selecting the best possible configuration of the gearbox. Conventional gearboxes used for this purpose are generally two step reduction gearboxes, which are bulkier in terms of weight and volume. Also, a review of the existing market reveals that the planetary gearboxes manufactured in India are not capable of handling high speeds, thus rendering them futile for racing applications. The target reduction ratio for the gearbox is a fixed parameter. The method involves design and optimization of the gear-train with the calculated ratio. A detailed algorithm has been used, which involves developing a mathematically modelled code for deciding gear characteristics, physical modelling using

Vehicle Spaciousness and Packaging Efficiency

2014-01-034804/01/2014

With the ever increasing pressure to improve the fuel economy of vehicles, there has been a corresponding interest in reducing the mass and size of vehicles. While mass is easily quantifiable, vehicle size, particularly the notion of “interior space” as perceived by the customer, is not. This paper explores different ways in which vehicle spaciousness can be quantified and explores new metrics based on customer verbatims. A novel ‘spaciousness calculator’ combines individual metrics to provide a singular holistic rating for spaciousness, useful during vehicle development. Beyond spaciousness, the paper discusses techniques to quantify the ‘packaging efficiency’ of a vehicle; this allows engineers to maximize the interior space for a given exterior size.

Conquering LED Efficiency Droop Could Lead to Affordable LED Lighting

TBMG-1417505/01/2012

LEDs seem to reach a point where more electricity no longer imparts the same kick and productivity levels off. A team of researchers from California and Japan has devised a new design for green and blue LEDs that avoids much of this efficiency droop. By changing the orientation of the crystal structure in semiconductor films, the team created LEDs with high efficiency and extremely low droop. Droop, which is a dramatic drop in efficiency at high currents, is one of the main problems limiting the growth of the solid-state lighting market.
