Ratchev (Ed.), Precision Assembly in the Digital Age: 8th IFIP WG 5.5 International Precision Assembly Seminar, IPAS 2018, Chamonix, France, January 14—16, 2018, Revised Selected Papers (92-100). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-05931-6_9

Fastener painting of aerospace structures, in particular legacy products , relies heavily on the skill or rather craftsmanship of the human operator. This process is time-consuming while automated operations with industrial robots can be a more effic... Read More about A Low-Cost Automated Fastener Painting Method Based on Machine Vision.

Multibody dynamics simulation of an all-wheel-drive motorcycle for handling and energy efficiency investigations (2017)
Journal Article
Griffin, J., & Popov, A. (in press). Multibody dynamics simulation of an all-wheel-drive motorcycle for handling and energy efficiency investigations. Vehicle System Dynamics, https://doi.org/10.1080/00423114.2017.1296962

It is now possible, through electrical, hydraulic or mechanical means, to power the front wheel of a motorcycle. The aim of this is often to improve performance in limit-handling scenarios including off-road low-traction conditions and on-road high-s...
