Modelling, Composite, Prototyping, Reinforcement, Periodic profile, 3D-printing, and Domínio/Área Científica::Engenharia e Tecnologia::Engenharia Civil

Nowadays, the technology of life cycle assessment of industrial products passes through the stage of changing the stage of existence in the market - from innovations to industrial application. In a couple of years ago there were practically no examples of projects using information models on the broad market, today the situation is changing, including because information modeling was noticed at the state level. The need to produce non-existent products inside the country stimulates investments in new production and re-equipment of existing facilities, and such projects must be implemented as quickly and efficiently as possible. The main task is to accelerate the implementation of the investment and construction project, reduce costs and increase the profitability of construction. The theme of the thesis corresponds to the branch program of the Republic of Belarus on the development and implementation of information technologies for integrated automation of design and life cycle assessment of buildings and structures. Master's work is an integral part of the state budget issue No. 2916 of the department of construction production "Development and research of innovative energy- and resource-saving materials, technologies using raw materials of the Polotsk region". The results of the work represent the possibility of modeling and introducing new types of periodic profiles, creation of 3D-printing technology for structures reinforced with composite reinforcement of periodic profile, creation of reusable end clamps of reusable use for testing composite reinforcement of various periodic profiles.

Coalgebraic models, Prototyping, and Higher-order programming

Construction and observation are two basic notions in Computer Science corresponding to precise dual mathematical concepts: those of algebra and coalgebra. This paper introduces a simple coalgebraic model for concurrent processes and discusses its animation in the declarative language Charity. It is argued that the ability to reason in an uniform way about data and behaviour, provides an unifying approach to functional prototyping of software speci cations.

Robotic arm, Conveyor belt, Prototyping, Servo motors, Arduino, and DC motor

This paper describes the prototyping of an educational kit based on a robotic arm and a conveyor belt. Initially, it was necessary to choose the structure to be used in the arm, develop its construction and carry some tests in order to know its mechanical limits. In order to perform a study of the workspace for the chosen robotic arm, the 3D modeling program Solidwoks® was used. By using this software it is possible to design and carry out studies related to the arm, such as its workspace and mechanical limits. To move the arm, it are used servomotors, controlled by an Arduino. Thereafter, a structure for the conveyor belt has also been developed, so that the arm can work in conjunction with the conveyor. A DC motor is applied to move the conveyor and to detect the parts a distance measuring sensor is used.

Software architecture, prototyping, CCS, and Net

Over the last decade, software architecture emerged as a critical issue in Software Engineering. This encompassed a shift from traditional programming towards software development based on the deployment and assembly of independent components. The specification of both the overall systems structure and the interaction patterns between their components became a major concern for the working developer. Although a number of formalisms to express behaviour and to supply the indispensable calculational power to reason about designs, are available, the task of deriving architectural designs on top of popular component platforms has remained largely informal. This paper introduces a systematic approach to derive, from CCS behavioural specifications the corresponding architectural skeletons in the Microsoft .Net framework, in the form of executable C and Cω code. The prototyping process is fully supported by a specific tool developed in Haskell

Prototyping current system, Software architecture, and Software Engineering

Software architecture is currently recognized as one of the most critical design steps in Software Engineering. The specification of the overall system structure, on the one hand, and of the interactions patterns between its components, on the other, became a major concern for the working developer. Although a number of formalisms to express behaviour and supply the indispensable calculational power to reason about designs, are available, the task of deriving architectural designs on top of popular component platforms has remained largely informal. This paper introduces a systematic approach to derive, from behavioural specifications written in Cw, the corresponding architectural skeletons in the Microsoft .NET framework in the form of executable code

Internet of Things, Design, Prototyping, IoT hardware development platforms, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi

The dramatic drop in the price of computing hardware, coupled with the recent breakthroughs in embedded systems design that enabled the integration of high-level software and low-level electronics, have created a paradigm shift in embedded systems development. This has led to the development of different varieties of user-friendly Internet of Things (IoT) hardware development platforms for IoT prototyping. The ubiquity of such prototyping platforms has undoubtedly contributed towards the explosive growth of the IoT, which is already seeping into all areas of human endeavor, including transportation, logistics, business, and healthcare. Building IoT projects that can be controlled over the Internet can be challenging, especially for beginners. This chapter discusses the design and development of prototypes for IoT applications with focus on Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms. The aim is to provide insightful information on best practices for designing and prototyping IoT projects, as well as to serve as step-by-step guidelines for beginners.

Prototyping, Low-cost stroboscope, and Domínio/Área Científica::Engenharia e Tecnologia::Engenharia Eletrotécnica, Eletrónica e Informática

In the industry is very common the applying of resources and machines for implementation of the processes and creation of the products. For this reason, the measurement and control of such processes are essential to achieve better performance, efficiency, and consequently best quality, as well as, monitor the operation of the equipment, identify failures and ensure the security for the industry and the employees. The measure instruments are the set of tools used with the objective of obtaining data about the particular processes. In general, these devices measure features like pressure, temperature, velocity, humidity, vibration, and are widely applied in machines such as motors, heaters, reactors, refrigerators, air conditioners, compressors, ovens, and other equipment. It’s important to obtain the periodic calibration of these instruments so that the results obtained through them be reliable and accurate [1].
