A Robot for the Unsupervised Grit-Blasting of Ship Hulls
This paper describes the design and the control architecture of an unsupervised robot developed for grit blasting ship hulls in shipyards. Grit blasting is a very common and environmentally unfriendly operation, required for preparing metallic surfaces for painting operations. It also implies very unhealthy and hazardous working conditions for the operators that must ca...
متن کاملNucleation of cracks in a brittle sheet.
We use molecular dynamics to study the nucleation of cracks in a two-dimensional material without pre-existing cracks. We study models with zero and nonzero shear moduli. In both situations, the time required for crack formation obeys an Arrhenius law, from which the energy barrier and prefactor are extracted for different system sizes. For large systems, the characteristic time of rupture is f...
متن کاملDynamic Initiation and Propagation of Multiple Cracks in Brittle Materials
Brittle materials such as rock and ceramic usually exhibit apparent increases of strength and toughness when subjected to dynamic loading. The reasons for this phenomenon are not yet well understood, although a number of hypotheses have been proposed. Based on dynamic fracture mechanics, the present work offers an alternate insight into the dynamic behaviors of brittle materials. Firstly, a sin...
متن کاملThe Effects of Shot and Grit Blasting Process Parameters on Steel Pipes Coating Adhesion
Adhesion strength of exterior or interior coating of steel pipes is too important. Increasing of coating adhesion on surfaces can increase the life time of coating, safety factor of transmitting line pipe and decreasing the rate of corrosion and costs. Preparation of steel pipe surfaces before doing the coating process is done by shot and grit blasting. This is a mechanical way to do it. Some e...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Thermally Induced Interacting Cracks in Brittle Solids
AbstracbThe results of an experimental investigation of thermally induced parallel edge cracks in a half-plane consisting of brittle material are reported. A free edge of a glass plate heated to a uniform temperature, was brought in contact with a liquid bath cooled by dry ice. The thermal contraction of the boundary layer produced interacting tension cracks. When no initial cracks existed, a l...
