Chemical Smoothing of 3D Printed ABS

Author: Pearse, Andrea Date: 2018 This report investigates the characterization of 3D printed materials in order to improve design guidelines and material properties of this relatively new manufacturing method – focussing on the requirements of surface finish and strength. ... Read more c b n d
Long term orbital inclination and eccentricity oscillations of the planets in our solar system

Author: Mouton, Hendrik D Date: 2016 The orbits of the planets in our solar system are not in the same plane, therefore natural torques stemming from Newton’s gravitational forces exist to pull them all back to the same plane. This causes the inclinations of the planet orbits ... Read more c b
A Simplified Dynamics Block Diagram for a Four-Axis Stabilized Platform

Author: Mouton, Hendrik D Date: Jul 2015 It is relatively straight-forward to derive comprehensive dynamics block diagrams for two- and three-axis balanced stabilized platforms. But trying to do it for four and higher order systems is getting rapidly such an amount of work, and ... Read more c b
