Mandrel forging, sometimes known as saddle forging, is a forging operation that is performed with the help of a tool called mandrel. A mandrel is a blunt ended tool or rod that is used to enlarge or ...

The aim of this project is to develop a “cure capable AFP mandrel”— a structural, high-accuracy, composite tool which is CTE-matched to the component. This was an advancement of the composite ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have invented a new, inexpensive method for fabricating artificial muscles for potential use in robots, in comfort-adjusting jackets that become more ...

Red Hat has introduced a new Java distribution, Mandrel, that compiles Java applications directly to native machine code for faster startup with lower memory. The head of GraalVM, Thomas Wuerthinger, ...

For auto-body structures, thin walled hydroformed and laser beam welded hollow steel sheet sections are recommended as a replacement for mainly spot-welded box-shape components. Such components have ...

Trapped tools, those used to provide support on the inside walls of hollow parts, often present part designers with the problem of postcure tool removal. Tool removal can be difficult, but leaving the ...

Long-time Java community leader Red Hat continued its ongoing mission to drive the evolution of open source in general, and Java in particular, with a new downstream distribution of GraalVM, called ...

Until EUV lithography becomes a reality, multiple patterning technologies such as triple litho-etch (LELELE), self-aligned double patterning (SADP), and self-aligned quadruple patterning (SAQP) are ...

Often, we face tedious tasks with no way around them. Sometimes, you just have to grit your teeth and push through. But small tweaks can make the onerous task a bit easier to handle. [James Bowman] ...
