In this paper, a superconducting augmented rail-type electromagnetic launch system (SAREML) is proposed due to its inherent advantages in terms of lower current, smaller rail ablation, higher propulsive force, and higher energy efficiency. A superconducting coil to enhance the magnetic field was designed and analyzed. The inductance was calculated using the finite element method. Then, the mathematic...
In this paper, tin whisker behaviour of electroplating tin coating was studied in different environments. Different thickness of electroplating tin coating on copper substrate had been tested. Two different environmental conditions had been applied :one temperature tests (70 °C)and one external force tests(70 °C /17.5N). The growth of tin whisker was studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...

This paper presents a Nano-opto-mechanical actuator, which is driven by optical radiation force. The actuator consists of two waveguides, two identical ring resonators, and an actuator with Bragg reflector. Light is injected into the waveguides and coupled to the Bragg reflector via the ring resonator. The actuator is displaced by the optical force. The achieved maximum displacement of the actuator...
This paper presents a pressure sensor array based on optical force using Nano-opto-mechanical Systems (NOMS). It consists of a deformable diaphragm and a waveguide array. When pressure is applied on the diaphragm, the gap between the diaphragm and the waveguide is reduced. The induced optical force deforms the waveguide and change the optical loss. In the experiment, it measures up to 32 dB optical...
As difficult-to-cut material with poor machinability, Machining of Inconel 718 at higher cutting speeds is expected to provide some relief from the machining difficulties. This paper investigate the possibility of high-speed cutting Inconel 718 by a series of cutting experiment. From the result, it presents that cutting force in high-speed zone is 30% lower than in conventional, at same time, the...
A challenge in virtual reality based laparoscopic cholecystectomy simulation is to construct a fast and accurate deformable gallbladder model. This paper proposes a multi-layer mass-spring model which can adapt well to the built-in accelerating algorithms in PhysX-engine of GPU. The gallbladder is first segmented from clinical CT images. A multi-layer model based on the anatomical structure of gallbladder...
Modeling forces applied to cut biological material with laparoscopic scissors is important for haptic rendering in laparoscopic surgical simulation. The cutting process is characterized in deformation and fracture. An analytical model for cutting human iliac artery with laparoscopic scissors is derived with concepts of shearing deformation and fracture mechanics in this study. An experimental set-up...
