Remodelling the past – Archaeometrological analysis applied on Birka weight material using a 3D scanner & Computer-Aided Design

Semi-submersible is designed with low heave motions compared with conventional ships by utilizing the cancelation effects between pontoons and columns. During the past years, continuous efforts have been devoted to reducing the heave amplitudes considering utilizing dry-tree system. Different concepts of semi-submersible have been proposed with favorable heave response. Deep draft semi-submersibles have been proved to be efficient in reducing the heave motions, and the damper structures under the pontoon may also reduce the heave responses significantly. Those concepts are beyond the conventional semi-submersible design, which may bring high costs for fabrication and installations. During computer-aided design and analysis, optimization algorithms are used to search for the optimal hull configuration. However, due to the restrictions of computer capacities, the global optimization algorithm, in some cases, have difficulties in finding out the optimal solutions without the aid from engineering experience. In this paper, the geometry of a ring-pontoon four-column semi-submersible is generated by parametric modelling. The heave transfer functions at center of gravity are calculated using WADAM. Genetic algorithm is used to find the most favorable heave responses. In the end, the parameters that influence the heave motions are summarized and discussed.

The development of Dan Kwian pottery products is a research that uses participatory action research methodology and qualitative research method. By selecting a specific sampling in area 7, Dan Chai Community, Dan Kwian District, Muang, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. The objective of this research three reasons: 1) the study form and evolution of Dan Kwian pottery products. 2) the development of Dan Kwian pottery products to form individually. 3) To study the satisfaction of entrepreneurs and consumers towards Dan Kwian pottery products. The research found that the model of Dan Kwian pottery products in the past to convey the wisdom of the grandparents emphasize the usefulness rather than beauty. At present, the style of Dan Kwien pottery products has been designed in a popular fashion and computer aided design. The pottery have a variety of uses and beauty than in the past. The Dan kwian pottery product was development pattern to form a new identity. The five models was selected: two cat models, one peacock model, one owl model and one cart model to from fifty models. The researcher was introduced five new pottery products to assess the satisfaction of four entrepreneurs and thirty consumers. It was found that the pattern of the pottery is unique has average of entrepreneurs was 4.75, while the consumer has average of 4.13. The uniqueness of skin color has average of entrepreneurs was 4.75, while the consumer has average of 4.00. The beauty of the new pottery has average of entrepreneurs was 5.00, while the consumer has average 4.27. The useful for function of the pottery has average of entrepreneurs was 5.00, while the consumer has average of 4.70.

Abstract: The objective of the present study is to design and analyze semi-tangential ogive bullets using simulatation software such as Computer-aided design & Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It is observed that been a quite steady increase in the bullet research design in the past few decades. The nose section of ballistic bullet is the most important part of the design process. Hence design optimizations are achieved by adjusting the bullet's form to improve precision and stability by reducing its drag force. CFD is the study used to verify the findings. Since provides most accurate results. It is observed that present study optimizes the behavior of the at M= 2.5. This present work shows the flow of air around the bullet surface providing pressure & velocity contours at every segment. The Various parametric studies over bullet model are drag co-efficient, ballistic coefficient and turbulence viscosity are plotted’.

(1) Background: This paper presents a conceptual design for an anthropomorphic replacement hand made of silicone that integrates a sensory feedback system. In combination with a motorized orthosis, it allows performing movements and registering information on the flexion and the pressure of the fingers. (2) Methods: To create the replacement hand, a three-dimensional (3D) scanner was used to scan the hand of the test person. With computer-aided design (CAD), a mold was created from the hand, then 3D-printed. Bending and force sensors were attached to the mold before silicone casting to implement the sensory feedback system. To achieve a functional and anthropomorphic appearance of the replacement hand, a material analysis was carried out. In two different test series, the properties of the used silicones were analyzed regarding their mechanical properties and the manufacturing process. (3) Results: Individual fingers and an entire hand with integrated sensors were realized, which demonstrated in several tests that sensory feedback in such an anthropomorphic replacement hand can be realized. Nevertheless, the choice of silicone material remains an open challenge, as there is a trade-off between the hardness of the material and the maximum mechanical force of the orthosis. (4) Conclusion: Apart from manufacturing-related issues, it is possible to cost-effectively create a personalized, anthropomorphic replacement hand, including sensory feedback, by using 3D scanning and 3D printing techniques.

This article discusses how some young engineers, fabricators, machinists, artists, and plumbers are helping revive old steam engines for art and archaeology's sake. The volunteers at Kinetic Steam Works labor to recondition steam engines that will power kinetic artistic installations. Since its inception, the collective has restored a steamship and sent it down the Hudson River as part of an artistic excursion. It has created and demonstrated a Baker fan—originally used to test the horsepower that a steam engine generated. Similarly, William Gould, a design consultant in San Diego is also trying to revive old steam engines. With help from original blueprints and SolidWorks computer-aided design software, he has detailed an 1879 Mason Bogie locomotive to discover exactly how it operated, something historians could not quite determine. Photoshop software allowed him to exactly match the train's color scheme based on a few paint chips from an original model.
