Three mm thick plates of commercial pure copper were welded via friction stir welding method using a floating bobbin tool. The effect of different process variables such as the tool transverse speed and the tool rotation speed were examined in order to create a weld with the desired properties. A defect-free weld was obtained at a rotation speed of 1400 rpm and a transverse speed of 18 mm/min w...

Winding is a key process in the manufacturing process of textile industry. The normal and effective operation of winding process plays a very important role on the textiles’ quality and economic effects. At present, a large proportion of bobbins which collected from winder still have yarn left over. The bobbin recycling is severely limited and quick running of winder is seriously restricted, th...

The objective of this study is to numerically investigate the temperature and heat transfer characteristics of the voice coil for a woofer with and without bobbins using the thermal equivalent heat conduction models. The temperature and heat transfer characteristics of the main components of the woofer were analyzed with input powers ranging from 5 W to 60 W. The numerical results of the voice ...

This paper describes an electrostatic field-assisted assembly technique combined with an electrospinning process used to position and align individual nanofibres (NFs) on a tapered and grounded wheel-like bobbin. The bobbin is able to wind a continuously as-spun nanofibre at its tip-like edge. The alignment approach has resulted in polyethylene oxide-based NFs with diameters ranging from 100–30...

This paper presents a generalized likelihood ratio technique for detection of defect locations from bobbin coil eddy current data. First a Neyman±Pearson (NP) decision rule for detection of known random signals (in presence of noise) is discussed. The result is then generalized to the problem of detection of unknown random signals that are commonly found in bobbin coil eddy current data. The pe...
