Direct Estimation of Air Void Content from Gyratory Compaction History
Abstract: A computational approach is offered and explored for estimating the air void content of asphalt mixtures densified in the Superpave gyratory compactor. It entails fitting a sigmoidal function to the compaction history records of specimen height vs. gyration level. The compaction progress is then extrapolated mathematically to infinite number of gyrations for which the air void content is theoretically zero. The fitted densification curve is then used to estimate the …

Development and Investigation of Minimum Power Non-contact Swirl Vane Gripper
Abstract: The Swirl vane gripper is a new non-contact gripper, which uses negative pressure created by the air swirling flow to create an upward lifting force. This upward force can be used to lift an object, which is placed underneath the gripper. In comparison with other non-contact grippers, this gripper is electrically actuated (rather than pneumatically) and hence require less power to generate same lifting force as produced by other grippers. …
