Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Development of Brake Pads from Teak Wood Powder and Rice Husk Ash using Hotpress [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Teak wood powder and rice husk ash brake pads have been made as alternative brake pad materials, but have not met the SAE J661 brake pad standards. The use of a hot press of 180 C and improvement of the composition of brake pad materials are needed to ...

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Design oriented simulation of contact-friction instabilities in application to realistic brake assemblies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper presents advances in non-linear simulations for systems with contact-friction, with an application to brake squeal. A method is proposed to orient component structural modifications from brake assembly simulations in the frequency and time ...

Uneven distribution characteristics of contact force of large-sized non-asbestos brake pad

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2018
Large-sized non-asbestos brake pad is used in the brake system of mine hoister. During the braking process, uneven contact force distribution in the contact surface will occur, which accordingly leads to uneven wear and a shortened service life of the ...

Engineering Apprenticeships: Youth Transitions, Industrial Capital and the Role of Working‐Class Households

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using biographical methods, the study explores the lives of 34 young people undertaking engineering apprenticeships in Teesside, Northeast England. It examines why working‐class youth in a deindustrialised region might be attracted to engineering, how they might secure apprenticeship, and the invaluable role households play in orchestrating ...
