The deformation of the gantry structure in heavy-duty machine tools is an important factor
that affects machining accuracy. In order to realize real-time monitoring of the deformation of …

The linear unfolding inverse finite element method (IFEM) has been modified and enhanced
by implementing large deformation relations. The method is helpful to predict forming …

Reverse engineering methods like 3D scanning are becoming common in engineering
practice. These methods enable engineers to reproduce the original shape of a scanned …

The field of mechanical manufacturing is becoming more and more demanding on
