Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Modeling for the Energy Absorption of Hot‐Rolled Plates in Charpy Impact Tests

W. Tan, Z.Y. Liu, D. Wu, G.D. Wang

In the present paper, a modeling for the energy absorption (CVN) at room temperature of hot‐rolled plates in Charpy V‐notch impact tests was investigated, in which an BP(Back…

A New Bio‐Inspired Robot Based on Senseless Motion; Theoretical Study and Preliminary Technological Results

Antonio Cotroneo, Giovanni Vozzi, Luigi Gerovasi, Danilo De Rossi

Over the last few years, there has been considerable interest in developing autonomous robots that are able to move in constrained environments, inspired by the motion of lower…

Elastodynamic Response of an Orthotropic Strip with Two Coplanar Cracks

Nasima Munshi, S.C. Mandal

The elastodynamic response of two coplanar finite cracks in an infinite orthotropic strip due to longitudinal waves incident normally on the cracks has been investigated in this…
