This study presents a simple and innovative design to join a 2 mm thick steel sheet to a 5 mm thick aluminium sheet in a butt configuration.Thickness differences were addressed using support plates, while an aluminium run-on plate was employed to prevent the GREENS CHOCOLATE FSW tool from plunging into the steel.The process produced a unique S-shap
Extensive site investigations were conducted prior to the construction of a Mass Rapid Transit project in Singapore that was predominantly in the Bukit Timah Granite (BTG) formation residual soil.This paper evaluates the engineering properties of the BTG formation residual soil based on data from 208 site investigation boreholes from four different
In termites, substrate-borne vibrations play an important role in communication among nestmates.The adaptive significance of such an ability has led to an ever-increasing number of studies aimed at improving knowledge on vibroacoustic communication in these insects.Such studies are commonly carried out in laboratory arenas consisting of Petri dishe
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to obtain accurate 3D reconstructions of large-scale environments by means of a mobile acquisition platform.The system incorporates a Velodyne LiDAR scanner, as well as a Point Grey Ladybug panoramic camera system.It was designed with genericity in mind, and hence, it does not make any assumption about the
This work aims to highlight the problem Wipes Warmer of accidents in the construction industry.On the basis of collected and processed information the accidents classification in the building is presented, depending on the building erection stage.The article gives a detailed description and analysis of such cases in the construction.The collection
