TL;DR: It is argued that Flying Frustum's 3D spatially situated interaction can potentially help improve human-UAV awareness and enhance the overall situational awareness.
Abstract: We present Flying Frustum, a 3D spatial interface that enables control of semi-autonomous UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) using pen interaction on a physical model of the terrain, and that spatially situates the information streaming from the UAVs onto the physical model. Our interface is based on a 3D printout of the terrain, which allows the operator to enter goals and paths to the UAV by drawing them directly on the physical model. In turn, the UAV's streaming reconnaissance information is superimposed on the 3D printout as a view frustum, which is situated according to the UAV's position and orientation on the actual terrain. We argue that Flying Frustum's 3D spatially situated interaction can potentially help improve human-UAV awareness and enhance the overall situational awareness. We motivate our design approach for Flying Frustum, discuss previous related work in CSCW and HRI, present our preliminary prototype using both handheld and headset augmented reality interfaces, reflect on Flying Frustum's strengths and weaknesses, and discuss our plans for future evaluation and prototype improvements.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple shape with corners (i.e., frustum of pyramid containing corners and oblique wall) is opted as the test geometry, and a design of experiments (DoE) comprising of 47 runs obtained by varying five forming parameters namely sheet thickness, tool diameter, wall angle, step size, and flow stress is performed.
Abstract: Single-point incremental forming (SPIF) is an emerging sheet forming process. The force-parameter correlation is yet not well clear in this process, specifically for geometries with corners. In the present study, a new level of understanding on the parameter-force relationship is presented. A simple shape with corners (i.e., frustum of pyramid containing corners and oblique wall) is opted as the test geometry. Following the response surface method, a design of experiments (DoE) comprising of 47 runs obtained by varying five forming parameters namely sheet thickness, tool diameter, wall angle, step size, and flow stress is performed. The analysis of the results reveals that the parameter-force relation in SPIF is complex and interactive, explaining that the effect of variation in a parameter on the force magnitude is closely associated with the value and the type of the other parameters employed for forming. From the analysis of the forces involved in forming the pyramid, it is found that the corner requires more force than does the wall. Further, the normal force (i.e., force along normal to sheet plane) is greater than the in-plane force. The use of very small tools, especially low d/t o where d is the tool diameter and t o is the sheet thickness, is observed to cause fabrication defects leading to substantial rise in the magnitude of forming force thus endangering the machine tool. Finally, a set of force models is proposed using which one can predict a set of forming parameters simultaneously minimizing the force and preventing the fabrication problems.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of tool geometry on surface finish in incremental sheet forming (ISF) process was explored and two different tool geometries i.e. hemispherical shaped tool and ellipsoidal shaped tool are considered.
Abstract: This work explores the effect of tool geometry on surface finish in incremental sheet forming (ISF) process. In the present work, two different tool geometries i.e. hemispherical shaped tool and ellipsoidal shaped tool are considered. Area at tool-sheet contact and scallop height were calculated for both the tool geometries. To assess the effect of tool geometry on the surface finish of the formed components, both analytical and experimental approaches have been used. A test geometry having the shape of frustum of pyramid was considered for the proposed investigation and four surface roughness parameters i.e. arithmetic mean surface roughness (Ra), root mean square surface roughness (Rq), maximum peak-to-valley height (Rt) and average peak-to-valley height (Rz) have been selected as response parameters. Based on the analytical model and experimental investigations, both qualitative and quantitative comparisons had been made among the effects of hemispherical and ellipsoidal tool geometries on surface finish. The investigation deduces that better surface finish of the formed component can be achieved by using ellipsoidal shaped tool rather than the hemispherical shaped tool.Copyright © 2015 by ASME

Abstract: Within recent years, history of mathematics (HoM) has become an increasingly popular topic. Studies have shown that student reactions to it depend on the ways they use history of mathematics. The present action research study aimed to make students deduce volume rules of frustum pyramids using the dissection method. Participants were 24 grade eight students from Trabzon. Observations, informal interviews and feedback forms were used as data collection tools. Worksheets were distributed to students and the research was conducted in 3 class hours. Student views on the activities were obtained through a written feedback form consisting of 4 questions. During the study, most students could assemble the parts forming frustum pyramids and find out volume rules of frustum square pyramids and frustum rectangular pyramids calculating the volumes of the geometric shapes obtained through that assembly. Several students had difficulties in recognizing geometric shapes as well as completing the calculations. The findings revealed that, prior to the study, most students were not able to complete similar activities and the mathematics course was taught in a teacher-centered way. Students found the activities interesting as well as instructing.

TL;DR: In this article, an appropriate position of a dust capturing device on the surface of aero-flyby capsule flying at a velocity of 4.4 km/s in Martian atmosphere at an altitude of 36 km is explored.
Abstract: An appropriate position of dust capturing device on the surface of aero-flyby capsule flying at a velocity of 4.4 km/s in Martian atmosphere at an altitude of 36 km is explored. The equation of motion and heat transfer equation for dust particles are solved for two different particle sizes of 0.5 μm and 0.1 μm. A thermochemical nonequilibrium flow field over the vehicle is computed by a prismatic unstructured mesh method. It is shown that putting a dust capturing device on the leeward frustum edge can give smaller aerodynamic drag as well as lower surface heat flux if compared to the case of putting the same device on the windward frustum edge. The lower heat flux exerted on the surface of dust capturing device is particularly preferable because the aerogel on the surface of the device is less damaged. However, it is found that the temperature of dust particles of 0.5 μm diameter is elevated almost to reach the phase change temperature when a dust capturing device is assumed on the leeward frustum edge due to longer flight time in high temperature shock layer. On the other hand, temperature of dust particles reaching the device on the windward frustum edge is found well below the phase change temperature. For dust particles of 0.1 μm diameter, we could not find any position to capture them before reaching phase change temperature regardless of the position of dust capturing device.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used computer simulation tool ANSYS CFX to investigate the sensitivity of the rotor design to different surface modifications such as grooves, bumps, dimples, and even changing the shape of the cylinder into a frustum.
Abstract: Concerns on climate change and dwindling fossil fuel supply have renewed interest on alternative ways of harnessing renewable energy. Using rotating cylinders to generate lift from a fluid stream, a Magnus rotor can produce up to 10 times more lift compared to an airfoil. However, it is also producing more drag. Recent studies have demonstrated improvement on the aerodynamic efficiency of a Magnus rotor through the application of surface modifications such as grooves, bumps, dimples, and even changing the shape of the cylinder into a frustum. However, it is unknown which is most desirable among those modifications; moreover, if some may be combined for even better performance. This present study seeks to fill the mentioned research gap with the aid of computer simulation tool ANSYS CFX. Simulation results showed that modifying cylinder shape into a frustum generates the most lift force. However, it is also increasing the drag on the cylinder. Interestingly, a helical groove may be employed around the frustum cylinder to mitigate the increase in drag, making the two modifications a promising combination. Multiple response surface analysis using desirability function was used to investigate the sensitivity of the rotor design to the different modifications. Furthermore, a new perspective is introduced wherein the rotor may be able to withstand more drag in exchange for more lift. For lift generation purposes, bumps are not desirable. Finally, the aerodynamic performances of the modified rotors are compared against other published results by means of a drag polar plot.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of nonlinearity, geometry and inhomogeneity on the resonant motion of a gas contained in the frustum of a cone are investigated, and a variable density, containing an arbitrary parameter, can be used to approximate a given density.
Abstract: The effects of nonlinearity, geometry and inhomogeneity on the resonant motion of a gas contained in the frustum of a cone are investigated. The motion is radially symmetric, and the inhomogeneity arises from a body force term. We show how to construct a variable density, containing an arbitrary parameter \({\mu}\) , that can be used to approximate a given density \({\rho(r)}\) . The approximate density allows us to solve exactly the eigenvalue equation associated with linear theory. This is the basis for continuous resonant solutions. There is a critical value of the parameter \({\mu}\) which separates when the system behaves like a hard or soft spring. When motions are shocked, they may be represented by the superposition of oppositely traveling modulated simple waves. In all cases, approximate solutions are compared with exact numerical solutions.

TL;DR: A coverage enhancement approach to improve the coverage strength of three-dimensional (3D) scenes, by using convex optimization approach to refine the initial deployment by using Frobenius distance and Euclidean distance.
Abstract: The deployment of multi-camera networks is usually accomplished by maximizing the covered area, while the coverage strength is difficult to be optimized simultaneously. We propose a coverage enhancement approach in this paper to improve the coverage strength of three-dimensional (3D) scenes, by using convex optimization approach to refine the initial deployment. The 3D scene is represented by a triangle mesh, with each triangle being a basic atomic unit. In addition, the sensing range of a single camera is modeled as a visual frustum. Frobenius distance and Euclidean distance between a triangle unit and a visual frustum, are novelly introduced to reflect the camera-to-triangle coverage strength. On this basis, the coverage enhancement is accomplished by minimizing the sum of squares of these two distances. Due to the use of the Frobenius distance and Euclidean distance, it is shown that the problem can be solved by convex optimization techniques. Comparative simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical equation for the bearing capacity of a circular footing resting on layered soil profile using punching shear failure mechanism following projected area approach has been presented, while the results of the parametric study were compared with the available equations in literature for the circular footing.
Abstract: The bearing capacity equations developed in literature consider homogenous soil below the base of the footing. But in actual practice soil mass is non homogenous and anisotropic. Therefore, while deducing the expression of the bearing capacity in case of circular footing resting over layered deposits, one has to take into account for a layered profile of soil. The paper presents the theoretical equation for the bearing capacity of a circular footing resting on layered soil profile using punching shear failure mechanism following projected area approach. The punching mechanism has been adopted while at ultimate load the mechanism of punching shear failure developed in dense sand has a parabolic shape when full mobilization of shear force into failure surface is taken into consideration otherwise punching failure is the actual failure while punching in the lower layer continues to a larger extent depending upon the loading at interface. For the analysis part frustum is considered to be a linearize curve for the actual shape of failure and a bearing capacity expression is deduced adopting certain assumptions. Stresses acting on the frustum have been analyzed and after series of integration bearing capacity equations is generalized. The proposed bearing capacity equation has been derived as a function of upper and lower layer properties. Finally the parametric study is carried out. The results of the parametric study were compared with the available equations in literature for the circular footing. Further, the results were validated with the experimental results reported in literature by other investigator.
