A357.0 parts are processed by laser‐based powder bed fusion and surface finished via plastic media blasting, ceramic sand blasting, and laser shock processing. The morphological analysis proves that plastic media blasting causes the most effective peak removal, the most efficient decrease in valley depth, and the greatest reduction in surface roughness. All the surface finishing processes enhance the fatigue life, however ceramic sand blasting bring about the greatest increase in the value of σmax for an infinite fatigue life limit of 2 × 106 cycles. The experimental results suggest therefore that the infinite fatigue life value is more sensitive to the residual stress state engendered by ceramic sand blasting than to the reduction in surface roughness. Breakthrough cracks start at the interface between crushed or modified surface particles and the underlying macro‐surface. However, at a distance of a few hundred microns from the crack initiation point, the fracture surface morphology become cellular for all the specimens.
Several remote labs to support analog circuits are presented in this work. They are analyzed from the software and the hardware point of view. VISIR remote lab is one of these labs. After this analysis, a new VISIR remote lab approach is presented. This extension of the VISIR project is based on LXI technologies with the aim of becoming it in a remote lab easily interchangeable with other instruments. The addition of new components and experiments is also easier and cheaper
Abstract-In the engineering curriculum, remote labs are becoming a popular learning tool. The advantages of these laboratories and the different deployments have been analyzed many times, but in this paper we want to show the results of the students' opinion about WebLab-Deusto as a learning tool. This work is focused on the subjects Programmable Logic (PL) in the third year of Electronics Engineering and in Electronics Design (ED) of the fifth year of the same degree. The paper presents the results of the surveys done by students since 2004. This survey consists of fifteen questions and its main objective is to measure the acceptance, usability and usefulness of the remote laboratory developed at University of Deusto from the students point of view.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
